Information Mark S. would like to know about your pet

Tell me what your dog likes and dislikes, and if they have any special health concerns. I would like to duplicate their normal routine, but also make the visit a special experience.

A typical day

Based on my experience, pets like both love and a routine. I can offer both indoor and outdoor activities. I have found that lots of dogs like playtime in the afternoon or early evening when the client normally gets home from work.

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and cats as pets, and enjoy giving them them lots of TLC. I am very flexible, but specialize in smaller dogs. My wheelhouse is senior care, but I very much enjoy caring for younger dogs.

Mark is just the best to take care of my two pups!!!! They were spoiled and loved. Plus they got daily walks that they just love doing. I feel that Mark is very very good with dogs and would not hesitate to use him again!!!

Found the absolute perfect dog sitter with Mark. My two Toy Aussies consider Mark and his wife their second dog parents. Mark took care of my two Aussies perfectly. He send me updates and pictures every day. I will used them for all our international trips and dog sitting. They are the most perfect, loving, caring, dog sitters.

Mark was excellent with our dogs, he updated us and took pictures for us to see. He was responsive when I reached out as well. My dogs look very happy and relaxed. He also played with them a lot which is a lot of work as one of my dogs doesn’t seem to ever get tired. I would definitely book with Mark again, I would highly recommend him also to anyone else who’s looking for a dog sitter who pays close attention to your dogs and takes great care of them.

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.
