I’m retired and love animals. I make dog collars from leather as a hobby. I’ve had dogs all my life along with cats, birds and fish. I’m looking for a little more structure in my life and want to do something I love doing. I’ve also done 5 years of grooming for Petsmart. I’m 69 years old and am well aware of trying to find someone for your beloved pet! Without worrying if they have water, food and getting outside.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m available to come to your house for drop ins, pet sitting and dog walks. I have my own pets so I know what it’s like trying to find care givers for pets when you need to go someplace.

Information Mark L. would like to know about your pet

If you have other pets it would be nice to know ahead of time just to be aware. I know bird care, puppy care cat care. I have had experience with blind dog as one of my St Bernard’s went blind from SARDS.

A typical day

Biggest thing is providing company and care for your pet, the will get out and get cleaned up after. They will always have clean water and be fed according to your directions.

Pet care experience

I have 50+ years experience in dogs, cats, and many years of experience with my Macaw and African Gray Parrots. Many years of Koi experience in my tank at home. Cats also. I used Rover a few years ago myself so my wife and I could attend our son’s wedding out of state. She was exceptional, she came over several weeks prior to get to know my dogs and it worked out great! She was a lifesaver! Being in the position that we couldn’t leave our pets alone I know how hard it can be to leave, especially if other kinds of pets are involved. I’m retired, looking for some positive structure for my days or nights. I can also do drop ins ,check ins or a way to take your pet to get to vet appointments. Kind of like a Pet Taxi. I also make leather dog collars to order.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
