On top of being conscientious and responsive, Mark is just a straight up dog person — he understands them and enjoys being around them. He took great care of my pups during a several day stay while I was out of town. My dogs can be a handful on leash, and he had no problem figuring them out. I definitely recommend him.

Sounds like our dog SugarBear and Mark had a nice time while we were away. Playtime, walks and hanging out. Mark did some brushing out of SugarBear’s coat, which was a big help! Everything went smoothly and house was in perfect order when we returned.

Mark had a great walk with SugarBear, who seems to remember him and was on good behavior. It was very nice to see how nicely the puppy is responding to and getting along with Mark.

Mark was fantastic! We were out of town for nearly a week the first time Mark house/dog-sat (he had previously walked our pup), and Mark handled everything. Most importantly, our dog loves him! But Mark also brought in the mail, kept an eye on things around the house during some large storms, and communicated with us regularly. The day we were coming home, Mark was willing to stay later during a tornado watch when our flights were delayed. He also left the house very clean in terms of dishes and laundry, which was not required but a nice way to come back from a trip. We will definitely be using Mark again in the future!

Mark did a great job walking our 80# Great Pyrenees puppy. We hope to hire him again in the future. It was a bit of adjustment for the puppy, meeting and getting used to Mark; Mark took it all in stride.

Mark and my dog Tank are best friends. Any time we have needed assistance for our Great Pyrenees Mark has been there for him to take him on walks, feed him, or just spend some time with him and keep him company. We and Tank are lucky to know Mark!
