Pet care experience

Hi everyone! My name is Mark, I’m a professional who was laid off from a long-term career and has decided to make my love for animals my focus moving forward. I’ve had 3 dogs of my own over nearly 20 years that have left us now, along with several cats, 2 of which are with me currently. I use all that I learned in caring for each of them through their advanced years to now care for others pets. I hope to foster long-term relationships with pets and their parents as well as offer my services to those who need some last minute help. I work to understand each pets unique personalities and needs and adapt my approach with each pet as needed. I’ll follow your instructions as well as have an open line of communication to ensure you and your pet are satisfied.

Mark is a fantastic pet sitter. He is extremely reliable and even managed to coax our very shy kitty out of hiding for pets. I would highly recommend him.

Mark was incredible. He was patient with our puppy and super communicative about any concerns. We were gone for two weeks and he walked our boy and loved on him with great care. Would recommend to anyone!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
