Personal Pet Nanny

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs for more than 20 years, both my own and other's. Currently I do not have a dog, but I love to make friends with dogs of all breeds, including terriers, large and small. With my remote job I can give your dog 100 percent of my time. If your dog likes to be pampered, I'm his or her man. I like to be active with dogs with long walks or trips to a park, or just sit and relax with them on the couch watching TV. I have the patience to understand even the most shy dogs. I have lived in Annapolis, Chicago, Florida, Ocean City, even Italy--in these places I have many satisfied repeat clients. I look forward to meeting you and your furry buddies. I work full-time from home on Chicago central time with the flexibility to focus on the care of your pets. I have few current distractions. I dog-proof the house of all dangers. I ensure they are watered and given attention. If medications are necessary, I'll ask for the schedule and adhere to it

Mark takes exceptionally good care of our animals - he’s very detailed, clean and always sends updates with pictures. We have a 14 year old dog who needs lots of attention and a 2 year old dog - they are always happy when we get home!

Our 3rd time with Mark and he did an amazing job as usual! Very detail oriented, clean and our fur babies were cared for like we were home with them. He sends thoughtful updates and lots of pictures which we loved. He was also very patient with our teenage dog who had been a bit aggressive/anxious on walks recently-he was able to walk him successfully the entire time and we were so relieved.

After our usual house/critter sitter was sidelined with a severely broken ankle, I had no choice but to try to find a good match on Rover. Very pleased to say Mark worked out very well for us! With 2 large golden doodle puppies and 2 cats, he had his hands full. Still he took time to send regular photos and updates to help keep our vacation relaxed! We came home to a house there barely looked like he’d been here but happy dogs and cats… no chewed up anything - a true accomplishment for the puppies! Hopeful Mark will be willing to take it all on again throughout the coming months!

Great communicator. We’ve used Mark multiple times. Dogs seem disappointed when he leaves

Information Mark S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know about a dog's personality, temperament, age, experience with sitters, medical/health needs, normal routine and schedule, which includes meal times and bathroom breaks.

A typical day

I don't walk your dog; your dog walks me. If they have the stamina, so do I. I understand geriatric dogs and will allow them to "tell" me when they've had enough exercise. I also enjoy being taken to the parks.
