#1 Rated Butt Scratcher for Dogs 🐶

Pet care experience

My first dog, Julio, she (yes she) thought I was awesome, yours will too. I'm famous among the dog community for giving the best butt scratches & belly rubs. 14 years ago I adopted the worlds coolest dog. He went by Chilly (aka The Cheese Man). We roomed at OSU for 3 years, great roomate, high fived everyone and made sure our plates were spotless. Sadly after 14 years together my unofficial dishwasher/leg warmer recently passed away. I work from home most days and love having dogs around my place again. If your little buddy needs a place to stay I offer complementary 5-Star level pets/scratches, frequent walks/runs, wild squirrel chases, an outdoor patio with exceptional people watching complete with couch, dog bed, and tv if they want to hang outside, bark at strangers and watch some food network. Any questions/concerns feel free to call/text anytime. If you'd like to meet or bring ur pup by to check out my place ahead of time you’re more than welcome. Thank you. Warning: Your dog may want to move in with me permanently... he may also seem a lot cooler and try giving you high-fives all the time once returned. The side effects will eventually wear off.

Mark was great! We would definitely leave our dog with him again. He was very kind and made sure to send of lots of pictures of our pup while we were away. His place is very nice and has a great porch that we know our dog loved people watching on. Having someone care for your pets isn’t an easy ask, and Mark made our dog feel very welcomed and safe!

Mark was great! Very communicative and sent lots of picture updates. I was worried because my dog Pepper is a recent rescue and hasn’t had any daycare before, but he took to Mark very quickly!

Mark’s place was perfectly set up for dog sitting while we were out of town. Our dog, Hanley, had such a good time he was only mad at us for a day for going on vacation without him (the usual is 3 days). We received a ton of pictures and updates & I felt comfortable leaving him there. Would definitely hire again.
