After coming home from what seemed like a loooong vacation, seeing my pup made my whole year!! Mark is extremely, without a doubt, the best dog sitter ever. Kiyomi was happy and I didn't worry at all about the care she received. He sent updates so often and we can't thank him enough for being here and taking care of our home as well. We love you, Mark!! 💘

We had Mark as our Rover sitter this weekend, and he was absolutely fantastic! From the very first message, he was super communicative and made us feel at ease. He came by to meet our pets beforehand, and throughout the weekend, he kept us updated with adorable photos and little updates. What really stood out was how he noticed all the quirky little personality traits of each of our pets things we know about them but never even mentioned. He just naturally picked up on them, which was so thoughtful. We could tell he made himself right at home and made our pets feel comfortable and happy. They took to him immediately, and honestly, we joked that they might like him more than us now! In short, Mark did an amazing job, and we truly appreciate the care and attention he gave. We’d absolutely recommend him to anyone! We will absolutely be using his services again!
