Highlights
Pet care experience
A happy parent of two pitties!
I've had dogs throughout most of my childhood and adult life. Currently, I'm a parent to two pit bulls, Ella and Omar. We've been together for the past 13 years. We take at least two walks a day and on nice summer days sometime three. I'm experienced with handling both big dogs and small. I've attended training classes with both of my dogs and I learned that the training is as much for us as it is the dogs! I enjoy giving lots of love and attention to both of them and my wife and I treat them like our own children. They are getting a bit older now, 13 and 12, but they are barely slowing down! If you have active dogs I'm more than happy to go on runs with them or if you've got senior dogs I can do slow walks and/or give plenty of couch potato cuddles too. Basically I love hanging out with furry friends.

Safety, trust & environment
For my two pitts I have a fenced in yard. Both are also crate trained and very well mannered. While we are gone they usually have the house to theirselves as they are behaved enough to not make a mess while we are out. They only stay in their crates for short periods of times like when we have numerous guests over or when any maintenance or service people come over. I'm a pretty mellow person that understands dogs all have their own personalities and I do my best to match their energy. I don't get bothered when any messes or accidents happen, as I understand that's just an occasional part of life with dogs and cats. Most of all I just want our furry friends to be happy and comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
So easy and helpful!
We couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter! Mark stayed in our home while we were away, and he took incredible care of our dog, Willie Nelson. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Willie was comfortable in his own home with someone so kind, responsible, and attentive. Mark went above and beyond while we were gone. He kept us updated, treated our home with care and respect, and most importantly, gave Willie so much love and attention. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and our house was just as we left it. Mark is also an incredibly talented local artist, and he’s simply a wonderful human being. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pets and your home, I can’t recommend him enough. We’ll absolutely be booking him again!
Mark was great! Ou Emma was/is in good hands!
Mark did an excellent job checking in on my cat while I was away! I will definitely be rebooking with him again in the future and would recommend him to others in the Ferndale area!
Mark is super communicative, friendly, and was excellent with our dog. Highly recommend!!
Took wonderful care of our high energy dog and left the house just as he found it. Highly recommend.
