Highlights
Pet care experience
Recent college grad who loves pets!
I got my first dog when I was seven and he felt like a younger sibling for me! Taking him out to play at nearby fields, teaching him special commands and giving him special toys that were mentally stimulating for him were fun memories that I hold dearly and never correlated to chores. Of course I also learned about important responsibilities Such as making sure the type of food ate was healthy for him and providing the necessary medical attention that veterinarians would have me follow whenever he was sick or when he became older and was experiencing soreness in different areas of his body. Now, I pet sit for my siblings dogs whenever they are away am open to working with all kinds of dogs or cats.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Whenever I pet sit, I usually care for them at my client’s home where I meet with them beforehand so they can get to know me and I can get to know their pet to see if they are comfortable around me. After that, they send me a user guide of what their pet needs to be given throughout the day (their feeding schedule, bathroom schedule etc), fun activities to keep their pet entertained, emergency contact information and their itinerary schedule. I read through the user guide before pet sitting so that I can ask the necessary questions and be aware of my responsibilities by the time I start.
Ratings and reviews
Mark really went above and beyond for us. One of our dogs had a flare up of a GI issue while he was watching them (for the very first time). It wasn’t an emergency but it was VERY gross and required Mark to get up with him again in the middle of the night. Mark was a trooper and dealt with the whole thing so well. Very communicative, made sure things got cleaned up, my dog got his medicine, and that both pups felt taken care of. He even made him white rice to get him to eat something with his pill. The house was left very tidy and the dogs even got an extra walk before he left. Will definitely have him sit for them again (if the experience didn’t scar him 🤦♀️).
Mark took wonderful care of our animals including one that had injured his paw right before we left. He kept us aware of how they were doing and sent us photos and reports daily. Both our cat and dog seemed to bond with him. We would definitely recommend.
Mark was very responsive and professional! I appreciate the attention to detail in his after-walk reports as well. Thanks Mark!
Mark is awesome!
Mark was great with our dog Oliver. He was attentive, responsive and provided updates throughout the week.
Mark was great!! So calm and sweet with Daisy. Communicative and conscientious with us. Mark went out of his way for a meet and greet so Daisy was comfortable with him. We were in from out of town and staying in a hotel. Mark was flexible with the unusual situation. Would definitely use Mark again!
