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.

Mark and his wife are such a sweet couple, they took such a great care of my older dog. He was pampered and loved while I had a short vacation with my family. I was getting wonderful and timely updates throughout my trip. I would highly recommend them if you look for home away from home for you pet. I know I will be back when going out of town in the future.

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.
