Information Mark R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavior. I would like to know your dog's age, the activities your dog enjoys and what kind of personality your dog has.

A typical day

I would love to take your dog for a walk in your neighborhood, explore a nearby park or let your dog enjoy relaxing in your yard. Playing ball is a great activity if your dog likes to retrieve.

Pet care experience

I know the importance of customer service from pet sitting for dogs and cats since 2013. I have volunteered at the PAWS animal shelter in Norwalk and at the Connecticut Humane Society in Westport, assisting with the care of their dogs and cats. I have completed the American Red Cross certification in Pet First Aid.

Mark was great with my boys. He was very attentive and kind. Me being away for a week is real stressful for my cats, but he made them feel at ease and comfortable. He even took quality time to play with the kitten, which made the kitten so happy. Mark was great with communicating and keeping me updated with the visits. I would use Mark again and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a professional sitter who is kind, gentle and caring.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
