Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs are the best people.
My mongrel 3 legged dog lived to 16. Later, my pure bred Dalmatian lived to 16. Yours will be happy and safe. I am sitting to get the enjoyment of being around pets while earning money enjoying myself.
Cat care experience
Mark also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Mark is caring and kind! Took great care of Kali!
We had our extraordinarily high energy Vizsla stay with Mark for a little over two weeks. He took amazing care of our boy, taking him on copious walks, dog park outings, and meetups with friends, as well as pup cups. We got amazing notes about their adventures, and were secure in the knowledge that our boy was well cared for in our absence. We would book Mark again in a heartbeat, assuming he would welcome our boy again!
Great communication, very kind and patient. Dogs had a great time! Highly recommend!!
Mark is an absolutely the best. He is so accommodating, easy to communicate with and goes above and beyond anything I couldn’t have hoped for. I had pictures everyday and my little guy was obviously at home. I felt confident and reassured that little “Stevie “ was well cared for and happy. It was all that I could have hoped for.
Very communicative, reliable, and flexible!
Mark , was excellent . From accepting our meet and greet and last minute weekend boarding to his patience and care with our Dolly . It’s comforting to know he cares and doe Avery thing he can to make your pet comfortable. I highly recommend Mark and we will be using him again .

Schedule
I am retired. I am planning on pet sitting because I like the idea of spending my time with pets without the obligation an owner has of being home constantly. I like to travel.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have no pets. Two enclosed outdoor spaces(Both the size of a large room). Substantial open green spaces surround my townhouse condominium. My home has 1433 sq ft of indoor space on one level. I find pets prefer to be wherever the humans are. Which suits me just fine.
A typical day
I cater my experiences with your beloved pet to them individually. I take short walks with senior dogs and may just sit with them on a lawn for outdoor time. Younger or energetic dogs can enjoy long fast paced walks on a hiking trail near my place. There is always time to have a nice chat with your pet while giving scratches and belly rubs. Car rides are a universal favorite. I do my best to keep your pet with me as close to 100% of the time possible. I try to go nowhere they are not also welcome.

- I try to spend a bit of time with each pet owner at or before our first meeting to understand their pet’s needs and particular traits. I like to know what pet owners rules are for their pets so I can follow them for continuity. Example: Is the pet allowed on furniture and bed while at home? I want the owner to know that I understand their pet may be anxious away from home. I take pride in helping my new pet friend know that everything is going to be fine.
