Pet care experience

A diamond in the Ruff

I’m 59 years old and I’ve cared for many dog breeds since I was 10, poodle, lab, mixed breeds, golden doodle, pitbull mix. I take pride in how I take care of my dog from what I feed him, clean up after him, and keep him happy and comfortable. I believe I can offer the same attention to detail for a guest dogs needs.

Mark is great with animals. He is a very friendly, caring and responsible man. Mark takes excellent care of my dog, and I always feel comfortable knowing my dog is in good hands, coming home to a happy, well-cared for dog.

Mark is a very patient and compassionate person. He is the primary caregiver to our dog Angus. Mark cooks special for him weekly. He makes chicken ,sweet potatoes , peas carrots , pumpkin and blueberries .mark brushes angus’s. Teeth. twice daily. He provides much love time and attention to angus every day. Lives to take him on hikes and walks . Mark would be the perfect pet sitter.

Mark (my dad) is great with Angus (our dog)! He makes him his own homemade food, religiously takes him out for potty and play, brushes his teeth and fur, sings and plays guitar for him, and makes sure he gets lots of cuddles. Angus is a lucky boy—and a happy one at that :)

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard 4 foot fence, and own a 5 year old mixed breed terrier that loves to play. I’d be looking to care for friendly small to medium sized dogs that have are up to date on shots from the vet. I have a spare large crate if needed but it would be best if you have your own since your pet is used to that one. I’d like to see vet records of shots and meet before hand to make sure our pets get along
