No complaints here! Mark was awesome he provided updates along with pictures/videos. Mylo seemed to have a good time as he seemed very chilled & relaxed with Mark. Definitely would like to rebook in the future.

Mark was great! He took care of Bomba for the day/night while we were out at the beach and sent lots of photos and updates. We would definitely ask him to watch her again and recommend him. TYSM!

Safety, trust & environment

MY APARTMENT: I have a large apartment with a fenced-in backyard. My living room and kitchen are connected/open one another, and this is where your dog and I would almost always be together. I even have a completely empty bedroom, which I would be open to using for boarding, if needed. SUPPLIES: I have a medium crate, a couple of dog beds, bowls, some toys, treats, etc. (Everything is kept clean and in good working condition.) NEIGHBORHOOD/YOUR HOME: I love walking around everywhere and there is a dog park a few blocks away from me. Very responsible, trustworthy and detail-oriented so I will take great care of your pet and your home.

A typical day

Your dog will get a ton of attention and affection from me - petting them, talking to them, laying on the couch with them, etc. There will also be some playtime - whether it's just some simple horseplay or a game like tug-o-war or fetch. I'll usually do a few minutes of training with rewards too (common commands like sit, down, paw, stay, but also willing to do whatever you are working on). If it's ok to take them to the dog park, then I will usually try to go as much as possible. We will also walk together and I have a backyard for quick potty breaks.

Where do they sleep, what do they eat, do they take any medication, can they go to the dog park, do they use a crate. And please let me know what commands and signs you use so that I can keep it consistent - especially if you have a puppy or a recent adoption.
