Pet care experience
I will absolutely give more love and attention to a dog than any other walker or sitter! I have always had my own puppy who I've trained very well and don't let them eat people food or behave badly! I have tons of free time and flexibility, and think life is better with dogs in it - you'd love the care your dog will receive with me (I can even teach them tricks if you'd like). If babysitting, I would love to take your dog on as many walks as it would like to go on, and if dog walking, they'll get tons of fun playtime from me. I am also very willing to adhere to any specific requests, like help it learn how to socialize, or keep it away from other dogs. I'll treat your best friend like they were my own!

Great pics. Thank you!
Mark was great with Luna! Very careful with our pup and was always on time for the scheduled walks
Mark is awesome. He took great care of my Potato.
Whenever I can't watch my parents or sisters' dogs, Mark is the first person I reach out to see if he can cover for me. He's great with dogs and has experience with puppies, older dogs, and dogs who are not people friendly. He could also give Cesar Millan a run for his money as a dog trainer. He taught my parents dog how to roll over and return the ball instead of just running away while playing fetch in one day. My father had tried unsuccessfully for two years to teach Tucker. Friendly, attentive, alert, and not overbearing. I highly recommend Mark as dog sitter or dog walker.

Information Mark P. would like to know about your pet
Some questions I may have are obviously how friendly they are in general, with strangers, in neutral areas, and any social concerns I should be aware of. It is completely not a problem, I would absolutely approach any situation with meet and greets, and get an understanding for the best way for your dog to be handled. I'd also like to know what they LOVE to do. Some dogs just like one really specific thing that gets them going - I'd love to know that, so if it involves any toys or anything, I could pick them up in advance.
A typical day
Obviously there would be a standard walk to the park and the pier overlooking the city view in Hoboken where many people walk their dogs, and it is a good place for them to get some dog-to-dog energy out (assuming ok with you). If you'd like, and the dog is young enough, I could absolutely teach it tricks/commands so not only will I watch it, but I'll do my best to reinforce good behaviors, and maybe even some fun tricks. On that same note, I also try an instill safety behaviors - I have trained my dogs to sit at street corners and wait for permission to cross so they won't ever walk into a busy road. On the other hand, if you just want someone to simply love and play with your dog, and give it love an affection non stop, I am also the right guy. Whatever you would like for your dog in my care, I am more than happy to provide.
