I’m active, energetic, & a runner!

Pet care experience

I’m an extremely compassionate and caring person and I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs! Since I was very little I’ve been as comfortable hanging with dogs as I am with people. Amongst friends and family I’m known to be the token “dog whisperer” as I’ve learned some very easy but very helpful basic training techniques through my years of caring for dogs. I’ve made it a point to make sure any time a loved one with a doggo leaves town, I’m the first person they call to help out! I take caring for another’s pet very seriously, as I know from my personal experience having a doggo it can be very stressful (for both you as a pet parent and your furry friend) to have someone new around. I pride myself on being an excellent communicator. Particularly for young pups, it’s extremely important to me that I communicate good, bad, and other behaviors as I know even the smallest bad habit could really change a dogs personality as they grow up. I understand the importance of consistency and routine in a dogs life and that is a point of emphasis for me in helping to care for your pet. I work a 9-5 type job but I’m fortunate enough to have a great deal of flexibility throughout my work day so I can adapt to your schedule very easily- morning, afternoon, and night! I can promise with a great deal of confidence that both you and your furry friend will always feel safe, secure, and loved when I’m around.

Phenomenal job. My dog was crazy about Mark and he left my apartment spotless. Will definitely use him again!

Timely, trustworthy, conscientious. Mark is so great with Winston & Sydney and treats my home with respect. Everything is always in order when I get home. I do think that he & my Sydney have a thing going because she was not really that impressed when I came home (and kept looking for Mark) :) :) :)

Mark is awesome. Very reliable, the kids LOVE him, and he always leaves my home looking better than when I left. Thank you for everything Mark!

Mark was the best! He took care of our very needy, snuggly Italian greyhounds. We have had other dog sitters - but Mark is different. His love for the animals, respect for your house and overall fact that he is a good person makes him a rockstar in our book!
