Pet care experience

Excited to meet your dog family!

I love dogs and grew up with cats. My long-distance girlfriend is taking care of our 5 year old cockapoo. I am missing dog energy in my life, and would love to meet and take care of your pet. A note: my apartment complex does not allow pit bull terriers, staffordshire terriers, rottweilers, doberman pinschers, chows, akitas, presa canarios, or alaskan malamutes.

Mark took such good care of my cat Yosemite while I was away. Through daily photos I could tell Yosemite was loved, entertained, and happy. Mark has such a positive energy and made sure to ask all the right questions beforehand to ensure Yosemite had the best care and easiest transition possible. I highly recommend Mark for pet-sitting!!

Mark was great! We've booked a couple times with him now and he's so great with the dogs and our home. He kept us updated and was accommodating of our dogs' schedule/routine. We'll definitely book with him in the future. Would recommend 100%!

Mark was great! Would recommend! He kept us updated on the dogs and took care of the house. One of our dogs is really suspicious of men, but Mark has such a calm, level presence that she warmed up to him almost immediately. It was a great experience for humans and dogs!

Mark was very kind and took great care of Piper. He sent me pics and took her for walks and trips to the dog park. He was good at communicating. I felt Piper was in good hands and I would definitely book with him again in the future.

Mark is a very responsible person who loves pets. He had been a pet (cats and dog) owner himself for many years and loves to care for other family and friends animals too. So I believe Mark is both an experienced and passionate pet caregiver.

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment has a large outdoor area to go on long walks. The apartment is mostly hardwood floor with carpeted areas in the two bedrooms.

A typical day

I love to go on long walks with your dog friend and there are a lot of paths near the apartment for this. We would go for walks at least 3-4 times a day. There is also a dog park nearby where your dog can socialize every day.
