Experienced Animal Caregiver

Pet care experience

Hello, Thank you for visiting my profile! I've always loved animals, which is needless to say because I’ve had pets most of my life. I am mostly experienced with smaller pets. However, I volunteer at my local dog shelter and have hands-on experience with larger dogs. Volunteering at the shelter has taught me valuable skills. Like how to avoid confrontations between large dogs, and how to provide the best and most enriching socialization for dogs. After all, a happy dog is a healthy dog. I am very passionate about providing high-quality animal care full-time and enjoy every second of it. Your pet will be in great hands. In my freetime, I love to go on hikes and paint. However, there's nothing I love more than spending time with animals. Since I live in an apartment complex, away visits and stays would be ideal. I always make sure that your furry friend is taken care of and comfortable at all times. I am very good at figuring out what to do in any scenario that may present itself. I always make sure to understand your pet's needs and forms of expression to be better equipped in general. I am not content with my work until I'm 100 percent positive that your best furry friend is completely satisfied.

Mark did a great job house/dog sitting our three dogs. He kept in touch and sent pictures as well as giving our dogs their meds and eye drops. Will use him again in the future.

Information Mark R. would like to know about your pet

Any special circumstances or needs about your pet should be brought up before I care for them. I am a lover of ALL dog breeds and don't have a particular favorite.

I personally love taking dog to parks and places where they can explore the flora and fauna around them. I also love playing catch and/or running with dogs, Since it's a great and fun way to make sure they are getting a healthy dose of daily exercise.
