Pet care experience

I get much joy with dogs & cats!

Hi! I moved to San Diego in July '22, and really enjoy all the outdoor space and amenities available to keeping our pets happy and healthy! I currently have a 15 year old female cocker spaniel named Coco, a 3 year old pit shepherd named Cali, and 2 year old boxer shepherd named Mocha. I love taking them on walks, exploring new neighborhoods together, and giving them all the love and attention they deserve! I'd very much welcome being a part of your pets' lives (dogs and cats) and I'll make sure to give them all my love and attention while keeping things fun! I know there are many experienced dog handlers to choose from, and I thank you for entrusting me with your pets' daily routines.

Safety, trust & environment

Since I work from home, I'm with my dogs all the time, so I can easily keep my eye on them. My doors and gates are locked all the time, so no issues with them running out. I'll make sure to do the same at my client's home and I'm happy to follow any special requests they may have to care for their pets.

Mark is the best! He's the only one I trust to walk my golden retrievers. He's very dependable, communicates, and my dogs love their walks with him!

Mark was a HUGE help and he did a great job! I really appreciated his help with my somewhat anxious, big but loving dog.

I'm pretty flexible with handling dogs and cats. It would be good to know if there are any issues that I should be made aware of for your pets, so I can best be prepared during my care for them.
