Pet care experience

I’ve had animals my entire life and know what exactly they mean to you and your family. My wife and I transitioned our pup last year and now excited to get to take care of others and show them the love and care they deserve… I’m a dance teacher, actor, and do most of my work from home. I have a very flexible schedule and absolutely willing to work with yours…I will be with your babies 24/7 My house is a big house and where we don’t have a yard it is a very dog friendly environment. I can take all sizes and walk all sizes. I’m a little bit pricey but I’m with your babies 24/7 care and give your family the white glove experience! P.S. My house is where they filmed the movie pig as well; kinda a fun fact!

Mark was the best once again. This is our third time having Mark watch Miles, and a much longer extended stay this time. Miles seems happy like he has settled in comfortably. so grateful everything went so smoothly. I highly recommend Mark.

Once again a great stay for our GSD. I knew we were gonna be OK when we arrived and Miles was happy to see Mark.

Mark was the best. We were a little worried, leaving our big anxious German Shepherd overnight for the first time by himself, but we couldn’t be happier. Miles was so happy with Mark. I could tell Miles was relaxed and comfortable. Mark spent all his time with him and that’s exactly what our boy needs! I will definitely use Marc again! And recommend him highly.

Mark did a great job taking care of our pup! We received several updates with cute pictures. He accommodated our anxious/special needs pup super well! We felt very comfortable through the whole process and will be booking again.
