Life-Long Dog Lover
Pet care experience
Having grown up with dogs and taken care of dogs, as well as working with a wide variety of animals, I have a gentle, affectionate touch (all dogs are pups to me!) combined with the strength and training to handle even large and/or active dogs. I'm just as happy taking your pup for a gentle stroll as I am running on the lakefront with your action-starved doggy. I love playing any games your dog enjoys, too. Just let me know! For dog visits, I can pick up your dog's routine quickly, and love to just hang and chill and chat with your dog while you're out living your life. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule and can respond to same-day requests.

When I was out of town for a weekend, Mark took care of my dog, Wheezy (a highly energetic 9-year-old Gordon Setter), and they had a blast! He made multiple daily visits and took her on several long walks, making her nice and tired when I got home. He clearly loves dogs, and definitely treated her like she was his own. Beyond his doggy-care skills, he responds to messages quickly, sends photos with every walk, and is a true delight to work with. Now every time he comes over for a visit, Wheezy gets insanely excited because she knows she's going to get to do something fun and will get a lot of special attention!
Mark has proved himself to be an aces dog and cat sitter! When my wife went into labor a bit earlier than anticipated, he was able to take care of our fur pals on extremely short notice and with a minimum of direction. And he didn't just do an adequate job, he did a GREAT job! Both our guys love Mark and so do we. A+++; we would be delighted to leave them both under Mark's care at any time.
