Pet care experience

Reliable and Caring

I’ve always been an animal lover, if I’m at a party and there’s a dog or cat there (or any other variety of pet), you’ll find me wherever they are. I’ve been a pet caregiver full-time for over three years now and have many years of experience beyond that doing this as a side-gig. I know peace of mind and reliability is crucial when it comes to caring for my client’s pets. My reviews along with a roster of repeat clients show my proven track record of providing top notch care. I’ve cared for many senior and special needs animals including those that need mobility assistance. I work to keep my prices competitive but I am open to negotiating for longer services or for those that have 4-5+ pets. Free meet and greets are required for new clients.

Mark goes above and beyond to make sure my dogs are well loved and cared for while we are away. He’s always thinking of their welfare. I feel so comfortable when he’s caring for them.

Mark took excellent care of our shy Luna and was very patient with her while she warmed up to him and got used to him walking her. Highly recommend him!
