Pet care experience

Responsible lover of all dogs!

I've had cats and dogs and taken care of them since I was a child. Animals, and dogs specifically, have always been a huge part of my life. I recently was a dog dad to the two most wonderful miniature schnauzers on Earth and unfortunately, lost them both in the two years. I'm here to spend time with some wonderful dogs and give them the love and care that I can no longer give my own. Thanks for reading!

Have you ever had a dog walker that cared more about the dogs well being than they did about the bitter cold of winter. Well, Mark is that guy. I was called into work last minute and I am also new to the Area with my pup Aura. It was negative degrees outside and I was in panic mode because I did not want to leave my spoiled little girl home alone in her new apartment. Mark not only stepped in to save the day, but he asked such great questions to get a feel for who I am as well as what Aura needed. Mark was scheduled for 3 walks, each 1 hour. It was negative degrees outside and he not only walked her, he did 3+ miles each walk! I was given an update when he arrived, when he departed as well as a map tracking the walks with pictures of Aura's happiness. I even said to Mark, because it is so cold you can also just hang out in the apartment. He said thank you but still walked her 3+ miles every time. I came home everyday to a joyful and content puppy, who I could tell had plenty of energy released while I was gone. It was nice to come home after a hard days work to a puppy that is content and not running at you looking for her turn of your energy. Thank you Mark, and I will certainly be reaching out in the future!

Dog Walking • Feb 04, 2026

Mark is incredible, I was in a bind and was called into work last minute. I also just moved to the area and my pup Aura was still getting comfortable to the area. In the coldest negative degree weather, Mark took Aura for 3 walks and each walk was just over 3 miles!!! When I got home, Aura I could tell was so content and happy. Mark even sent the route in which he walked Aura and pictures of Aura's happiness while Mark took care of her! I also informed Mark that we are new to the Area and he assured me that he would take such good care of Aura and completely understands. It is so great to have someone like Mark, who shows interest in your story, and truly cares for the animal and there best interest. It was freezing outside and Mark cared more about the dogs experience and joy to be out and about, then he did over the cold. Thank you so much Mark, you are truly a great person to have in my dogs life!

I’ve known Mark for over eight years and have seen firsthand the exceptional care he gave his own dogs. His patience, nurturing nature, and dedication to their well-being were qualities that initially drew me to him as a person. He is dependable, punctual, calm under pressure, and highly attentive to each dog’s individual needs, safety, and routines. Mark understands the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and building trust through steady, attentive care. He treats every animal with genuine respect, compassion, and responsibility, and I would feel completely confident trusting him to walk and care for any dog.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs as well as how much exercise the dog ideally can get. I spend a lot of time outside and enjoy getting exercise with dogs.
