Loving & Reliable Pet Care

Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover—and I have to admit, the feeling is usually mutual. Animals tend to relax around me, and nothing makes me happier than making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and many other pets over the years, and I understand how important it is to keep their routines consistent. Whether that means daily walks, feeding, playtime, or quiet companionship, I dedicate the time and attention each pet deserves. I go beyond just the basics—I make sure your pet gets both physical care and emotional comfort. My clients appreciate my reliability and communication. I provide updates and photos so you never have to worry while you’re away. I know the trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. With me, you can expect dependable, professional, and loving care that allows you to fully relax. Your pets will feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way.

Safety, trust & environment

I approach pet care with the same responsibility I’d want for my own pets. From double-checking doors and gates to keeping an eye on changes in behavior, I make sure every detail is handled with care. At the same time, I focus on building trust and comfort so each pet feels safe, loved, and at ease in their own home.I’m

Mark was wonderful with our two pups! I always feel comfortable leaving them with him knowing they are well taken care of :)

Mark did such a great job with our dogs while we were on vacation! My husband and I appreciated the regular updates and pictures of our pups while we were gone. He was a great communicator, especially if anything out of the norm happened. When we returned home, Maple and Moose were as content and relaxed as they could be. We would absolutely book Mark again!

Mark did a great job staying overnight for multiple nights watching my young pup while I was getting married. It was great to not be stressed and knowing my pup was taken care of.

Mark was a considerate pet sitter and our dogs enjoyed spending time with him. He was responsive and we appreciated his daily check ins while we were away. We would book again with him!

Mark is fantastic and so caring with my fur babies. I know he really cares and it makes being away from them easier knowing they are being taken care of so exceptionally!!

Mark is awesome. Excellent care of my 2 dogs, including one pretty blind baby. I felt completely comfortable the time I was away. Received daily updates. Would definitely recommend and hope he can help me out again.

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medical conditions, or behaviors I should be aware of. I’m happy to adjust care for anxiety, medications, or specific routines. The more I know, the better I can make them feel safe and comfortable!
