Pet care experience

Love is a wet nose & a wagging tail

Growing up, a dog was always part of our family, starting with Mitzy, a field beagle, then Chalupa, a Sharpay, and Audi, a rat terrier. I got my own dog, a rescue puppy, Jade, a terrier mix. I can calm excitable pets, play with them and give them the attention they deserve.

Mark was wonderful and quick to respond with last minute shuffling to get care for our dogs. He sent photos and updates on our pups which was such a relief for us as we were first time Rover users. He provided excellent, diligent care and we would absolutely recommend Mark!

We appreciate Mark’s communication leading up to the care for our dog, as well as after. He was very timely & we received pictures of their walk together. He followed the care instructions just as we requested. We will definitely ask for Mark again!

Mark is timely and reliable. He takes care of your dog and wants to learn their habits/tendencies. Detailed and conscientious with consistent/informative communication.

Please let me know the energy level and any special needs your dog may have beforehand. I am not wary to any certain breed. It would be nice just to know the breed before I care for the dog. That said, I do not want to work with any dogs that are aggressive toward strangers.
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.
