Years of Pet care & Pet love

Pet care experience

I've taken care dogs and cats and each animal is a unique experience. At one point I had 4 dogs and moved. No pet left behind!

I've known Mark for 25yrs. He has always had in his care rescue animals dogs and cats. He has raised several shelter dogs from pup to 17yr old lab. Whom he had taken in has a puppy from an animal shelter. And several other dogs in the time I have known Mark. Genuine and caring human being. I've been a witness to Mark jumping out of the car to save stray dogs. Highly highly recommend Mark. TY
