Pet care experience

Animal Enthusiast and Lover <3

I love animals of all kinds and have many years of experience with owning, fostering, and pet sitting cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and exotics. I will love your animal as if it were my own and make sure they are having a wonderful time as I tailor to any special requests so that you may have a worry free time away from your best friend. I know how to properly administer medicine, trim nails, and groom. Any question is welcome and I hope to put your mind at ease with my experience and love for animals.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I currently own a high energy Border Collie, Australian Kelpie mix. I take my dog to the state park and hike regularly. She is played with often and given positive reinforcement training. I have owned her for 8 years. For a dog I would give similar treatment and if requested also bring the dog to the park or hiking to expel the extra energy. For a cat I am often well liked and know how to be gentle and careful. For reptiles or birds I am familiar with care and wellness needs. I am open to any special requests and hope to make your pets time with me the best ever!

We had to make several adjustments in our plans with Mark, mostly because I came down with a bad cold, and he was very accommodating.

Mark is a caring, professional and responsible animal/house sitter. He stayed in our house with our dog and cat, and we were able to have a vacation without worries for them. Our dog is slow to warm, our trauma girl, and she took to him easily. I recommend him highly.

Mark was fantastic! He did a meet and greet beforehand and asked lots of questions to be sure he knew all the pertinent details about our two dogs. He was excellent at communicating and gave us peace of mind that everything was going well while we were gone. Highly recommend!

I’m so glad that I found Mark to watch my dogs! I had three dogs at my house (2 seniors) and he was great with them. He was very attentive and communicated constantly. Leaving him in my house with them for a week can be stressful, but he gave me a ton of confidence that everything was ok. He was also very flexible on timing which was great. I came home to happy dogs and a clean house! Will definitely keep using Mark in the future.

Mark is fantastic - he thought of stuff that I didn't think to tell him. I felt comfortable leaving him in care of my home and my pup loves him!

Mark did a great job with my dog and cat! He updated me multiple times a day and was super flexible when my travel plans got changed.
