LET'S RUN THIS WEEKEND, ROVER!

I WORK FROM HOME AS A WEB DESIGNER & RESCUED A VERY LOW-KEY SERVICE DOG THAT IS MY PET – AND SHE LOVES COMPANY. I'm a graphic designer and creative director by trade. As you know, traditional office settings have changed — so your pet and I can keep each other company! I've been around dogs my whole life and love them. I'm also that "dad" who takes breaks to walk throughout the day. I love to walk, run, and visit the dog park near my home. If you want to get a feel for my personality, look up Gustavo Santaolalla – Endless Flight (Babel Soundtrack) on YouTube. IT'S A BALANCE 6:30 AM – 6 PM DURING WEEK – WEEKENDS POSSIBLE I do digital content writing and design, and since I work from home, your pet would be hanging out with me while I’m at my computer. We’d go out 3–4 times a day as I take 15–30 minute breaks every couple of hours. NO LAZY DAYS! There’s a dog park nearby, and I take breaks 3–4 times a day from 15–30 minutes to breathe and walk around. In the afternoons, I exercise and get out for about an hour. Your dog will enjoy both indoor companionship and outdoor playtime.

I couldn’t ask Mark to be any more amazing to our sweet fur baby. I even ran into him walking our dog on 1.5 mile walk one day under his care. He looked out for our little one as if he were his own. Long walks, looking for any changes, sleeping and loving on our dog. Thank you so much!

We were so nervous as this was our pups first time going to someone else’s house but Mark was great with him and kept us thoroughly updated.

We are so thankful that Mark was able to take care of our dog Buster. Buster enjoyed his time there and the photos throughout the day were a welcome treat. Highly recommend!

Mark was easy to communicate with and accommodating of our schedule. Our dog was happy and tired when we picked her up - which is the goal!

Mark was the best! Our dog Georgia is very hesitant around people she doesn't know. She took an immediate liking to Mark. He took great care of her and kept us informed with notes and photos throughout the day.

Your pet will have free range of my flat. Whether I am watching your pet for daycare or for boarding, there is a community dog park that I go to early in the mornings and during the day as well as I take walks regularly to escape the computer.

A typical day

I go to the local dog park near my home, I walk the dog over on Market Street in the NuLu area, I do a little bit of jogging in the morning or in the evening along with push-ups and sit ups and we can run at your dogs pace.
