This is currently my full time job at the moment as I transition in the workforce. That means more time for your pet, more time for play and fun or just naps.

Safety, trust & environment

My space is clean, pet‑friendly, and thoughtfully arranged to keep every pet safe and comfortable. I’ve created a home environment where pets can feel relaxed, stimulated, and genuinely cared for. My neighborhood has beautiful, safe trails just a short walk away, so dogs get plenty of outdoor time, fresh air, and enriching adventures suited to their energy level. Inside, I’ve set up a designated nap room — a quiet, cozy space where pets can unwind, recharge, or enjoy some peaceful alone time whenever they need it.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for my current dog for 5 years, previously I had a pup that I cared for 2 years. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk their pups, keep them fed on schedule. Those early experiences taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me, and that long‑standing trust from the people around me is something I’m really proud of. I am also a huge fan of training pets, though im not certified to do so as yet.

Mark watched my two pets when I was on vacation. My very mellow cat, my energetic, slightly chaotic dog, and I couldn’t be happier. It had been a long time since I trusted someone to stay in my home and care for them, so I was understandably nervous, especially knowing how challenging my dog can be with people he doesn't know. Mark was incredibly professional, communicative, and patient. He sent daily updates, which allowed me to truly enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Mark as a responsible and loving pet caregiver.
