Dog lover, Retired teacher

Pet care experience

I've had a dog to care for since 1970 and before with grandparents. I've helped train several dogs with gentleness & firmness. They love me!

This was our first experience with Rover and Mark! Thanks so much for taking such excellent care of our Bubba! You put our fears to rest the moment we met you. And judging by how relaxed Bubba's was when we arrived at the end of his stay, I can see he loved being with your family as well! We will definitely contact you again as any need arises for us.

Oscar was with Mark for the first time and loved the company for a day.

Mark was wonderful taking care of my pup in a pinch when I was stuck in the hospital after emergency surgery. The photos were great too!

Safety, trust & environment

We currently have no pets. We lost our beloved dog Lucy last month at age 12. I always ensure pets have water, food, and any medicine it needs. We've watched my mother-in-law's dogs for a month at a time. Our property abuts open space with some woods nearby. We have no fence to obscure our view.

Information Mark P. would like to know about your pet

Our last dog was blind and frail near her end. Likewise, my childhood dog developed special needs as he reaches 17 years. I possess special patience and care for all dogs.

A typical day

I live next door to open space and woods. My property is over 1/2 acres, so there's a lot to explore. Dogs will take walks on our expansive sidewalks and play catch in my house.
