Very flexible schedule - dog lover

Pet care experience

I love dogs and they seem to love me...cats, too! I have a pretty loose schedule and I'm in town most of the time. We have a lot of acreage at my house and it's partially fenced, but not enclosed. There is a lot of area for walks where there are no cars or people, it's a very peaceful place. As far as when I've taken care of others pets, all I can say is that I've always been very responsible and there's never been any problems. I have rescued several animals from the wild and from shelters. I believe that I would be described as a very trustworthy and responsible person. I am the assistant manager of a small airport that I run with my wife. We also have an online business where we make replicas of vintage metal flowers customers use for weddings, lapel pins, hair clips, planners, etc. I am also professional guitarist and semi-professional visual artist. I've done computer work for major companies such as MTV, Capitol Records, National Geographic and The Discovery Channel. I'm an NYU graduate and was a music teacher for many years.

Mark did an amazing job taking care of our boston terrier Roxie when we were on vacation. Mark sent texts to us during our week at the beach showing Roxie out on walks and playing in the yard. Her special diet needs were all adhered to, and we came home to a happy, health dog. I would recommend Mark to everyone as a conscientious dog sitter.

Mark loves animals and has had an animal most of his life. He is very caring and responsible and reliable. Mark has taken care of my two dogs off and on for years. I always feel comfortable with my pets under Mark's care. CYS

Mark has been an amazing caregiver to our dog and four cats. He is reliable and trustworthy and has a natural affinity for all animals. I always feel at ease on vacation, knowing our pets are in such wonderful, caring hands. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for animal care.

Mark is a very kind guy and he loves animals. He and his dog Stella were fast friends for many years. Mark has a guitar and I am sure he cries when he plays bo jangles. He is responsible and would treat another's pet as his own. I absolutely recommend Mark. BH
