Information Mark W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, in many cases I may have had experience with your pet’s condition being a senior dog rescuer.

A typical day

I enjoy sitting on the porch in my fenced yard where my dogs can enjoy the fresh air, also my neighborhood has great walking trails. I also have many dog beds and couches for the pups to nap when I am practicing or working on the computer.

Mark took excellent care of our pug for a week. He’s has such a great space and system for caring for the dogs and a clear love for the work. We’ll definitely seek out Mark’s help again in the future.

Knowing that Mark would be dropping by to check on Jubal made going out of town so much easier! Jubal does not like going to the kennel, so being able to leave him at home works better. Mark sent updates and photos each visit, I know Jubal was well cared for while I was gone. Second time we've used Mark and would definitely rebook!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
