I work 5 day a week from 5am to 9am so that caring for dogs can be my main focus. My work days do vary but the work times are very static. Im currently studying in a K9 college, expanding my knowledge of dogs in all aspects. My course is flexible and fits around my personal daily doggy routine😍. I am very flexible for times that I can care for other peoples fur babies, and as such can dedicate myself to give the best care possible as and when required by you and your family members.

Safety, trust & environment
At home I have a secure garden at the back with large grass area for the dogs. Pets have free run of the inside of my home. I can however crate if required in both my own home and your home. I am very proud to be Canine first aid trained and have first hand experience of dealing with sick, old, vulnerable and complicated dogs. I am currently studying at a renowned K9 college to better my knowledge of dogs in every aspect I can. Between me and my partner we have four years of K9 epilepsy management where we are able to administer daily medication for dogs, orally or injection. In worst case scenario we both can administer emergency medication as per instruction. We have a loving home with great vibes for all dogs big and small. We live on the outskirts of paisley right on the countryside border line where we are literally a 5 minute walk to miles of open Greenland and umpteen different walks to choose from. We have a child free household which only means your dog gets %💯% attention and love they deserve.

Information Mark R. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog intact? Is your dog in good health? Do they have any dietary requirements? Do they have a toilet routine? How many times a day do they go poop usually? Do they require any other specialist requirements? Do they need any medication and frequency of? If so how it's administered? How many times does your dog go walkies a day? On lead or allowed off when safe. Have they ever been in a pack walk before? How are they with other dogs generally? Are they generally calm like my boy flash? Or absolutely full of beans and mischief like my Marlo?
A typical day
We will walk as long as they want in the beautiful glenifer braes, open Greenland with plenty of smells and room to play. Usually other dogs to play with or we can get lost and go an adventure. When were all walked out it's back to base for stimulating interactive toys and natural snacks (if allowed). We like to stick to stricked feeding times as routine is the best thing for the dogs. But obviously individual dietary needs are fully catered for with each dog. Just specify requirements to me.

Dogos are my purpose in life ❤️🥰😁
Pet care experience
I have been around dogs all of my life. I am currently the guardian of two dogs and absolutely love spending as much of my day as possible with them. We take long walks across the glennifer braes, road trips to the beach and strolls ans ball throws in the local parks. We are constantly training- sometimes the boys forget their manners, so we are always practicing!! I have raised Marlo from being a puppy whilst flash is adopted so have experience around dogs of all ages and backgrounds. Our household has four years experience also in Epilepsy management. The care of flash can be quite complex- he’s on a strict medication and food routine to help manage his seizures. Growing up the dogs in my life have been German shepherds, Irish setter, border collie, Lhasapso, Labradors, Retrievers, patterdale terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier and of course mungrels. So far and having just started my business I have cared for little fudge who is a french bulldog and a little angel 😇. We had him overnight on a couple of occasions and during the day for walkies a few days also. He fit right in once I got him to calm down 😂 purely excited to be with us he was. I have also had the beautiful and soft natured Belle who's a retired racing greyhound. She immediately lay down like she was at home and bonded with flash who has the same energy as her. She walked perfectly and proudly around with the pack and was just another angel 😇. I have currently a home boarding booked in a with a little lhasaapsu cross who we will go meet first for a we walk and get to know each other. We are really excited about this😊. Finally I would say that my experience with dogs is an extensive one, in life, I have bonded with every dog I have come across (annoyingly for some) I have cared for dogs of all sizes and nature and intelligence! As a business my experience is relatively new as I only ever cared for dogs for enjoyment. Now it's my job and life. I'm a natural with dogs and I'm also training daily by taking on K9 college courses expanding my knowledge as much as possible. Most recently I completed the K9 first aid course and am now qualified in this. Next course I plan on will be a practical one also allowing me to work with my dogs and better my abilities.
Reviews
Mark was an absolute dream of a dog sitter from start to finish. From the moment we met him, it was obvious how genuinely caring, attentive, and experienced he is with dogs. He took the time during the meet and greet to ask lots of thoughtful questions about Happy’s routine, personality, and needs, which immediately reassured us that she would be in safe hands. Throughout the evening, he spent quality time with her and made every effort to keep her routine as normal and comforting as possible. He worked closely with both my partner and me to make sure Happy felt secure, relaxed, and cared for while we were away, and it truly showed when we got home. She was completely settled, calm, and her usual happy self — which says everything about how wonderful Mark was with her. It’s such a relief finding someone you can genuinely trust with your dog, especially when they mean so much to you, and Mark exceeded all of our expectations. Professional, kind, patient, and clearly passionate about animals, he made the entire experience stress-free for us. We would absolutely book with him again without hesitation and couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much, Mark — you were fantastic with Happy! 🐾
Mark was recommended to me by a friend, and I have to admit I was quite nervous about leaving my girl, Cookie, with anyone. We had only rehomed her a few months earlier and she was experiencing separation anxiety, so finding the right care was really important to us. From the very start, Mark was amazing with Cookie and she settled almost immediately. He made sure to stick closely to her daily routines, especially around feeding, which was important for us. Cookie had the most wonderful and active weekend, enjoying the outdoors with Mark, his partner Lucy, and their dogs, Marlo and Flash. We received regular daily updates, photos, and videos, which really helped us relax and enjoy our time away, knowing that Cookie was safe, settled, and having a great time. If I’m being completely honest, I was worried she was enjoying herself so much that she wouldn’t want to come home! I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for day care, overnight stays, or holiday care for their fur babies. Cookie will definitely be spending all her future holidays with Mark.
Mark was recommended by a friend whilst I was staying in Scotland. Belle, my Greyhound, took to him straight away, as did I. Mark has a welcoming and gentle personality and an obvious love of dogs. I was very happy to be told that he is completing a canine first aid course. Belle was with Mark for the day. She had a lovely walk with him and his two dogs. He kindly sent me photo's. When I went to pick her up she was fast asleep and very content. I'm not 100% sure that she wanted to leave! I highly recommend Mark and will definitely call upon his services when next up North. There are not many people I will trust with my precious girl but Mark is now on that small list.
I have entrusted mark to take care of Flash for me over the last year or so. Flash has epilepsy that comes with a range of complex needs. He’s on a strict medication regime where he takes 3 different medications upto four times a day. He’s on a strict diet and also, in order to identify seizure triggers sticks to a pretty strict daily schedule around exercise also. Given that I work away from home in my new job on occasion, mark has been looking after Flash for overnight stays and takes amazing care of him. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with him like I trust mark. Flash absolutely loves mark and I know I don’t need to worry about him when I’m away. Mark has had experience in dealing with Flash’s seizures which includes administering emergency medications and soothing him during and after an episode. Despite the seizures being horrible to see, he really jumps into action and takes amazing care of Flash.
