I Wrestled a Rabid Racoon and Lived

Pet care experience

I've been a dog owner for years. During college I was an animal control officer during the summers. I've had lots of experience caring for all sorts of dogs with many different dispositions. I want to walk dogs to earn some extra money and have some fun with your dogs since I'm currently without a dog. I've cared for puppies, young dogs, mature dogs, and senior dogs. I've given dogs medications—shots and pills. Working with dogs at a pound involves high levels of stress for the animals. I've cared for senior dogs (and cats) and provided respectful care for them. When I was an animal control officer I had to retrieve a rabid raccoon from under a building. Nothing your dog does will be scarier than that!

Few people I would have trusted my dog - a bearded collie, with walking and house sitting Mark MacKay is tops on that list. I have known Mark for over 30 years both personally and professionally. He has a proven track record of responsibility, empathy and attention to detail. I have also trusted Mark with all design elements related to my consulting clients. Energetic, engaged and especially with animals, a loving individual. He is definitely the 'go to' guy for either duty.

Information Mark M. would like to know about your pet

Having cared for many different breeds and mixes I know that each dog is different. Let me know your dog's personality—calm, feisty, barky, playful. That information will help me to target his or her needs and provide a better care experience.

A typical day

Learning your dog's likes and dislikes is an important part of how I care for your dog. I'll take your dog to his or her favorite places and bring their favorite toys.
