Pet care experience

I have cared for my own dogs and cats for almost half of my life as well as caring for family and friends' dogs and cats. Any breed, size and age, I can do the job! I have always had a way to easily make friends with pets; no matter how shy they are. My goal is to care for and love your furbabies just as much as much as you do and keep them safe while you're away. I enjoy my job so much that I am a licensed, bonded and insured professional pet sitter and dog walker to make sure I can provide the best care for your pet(s) in any situation. This also helps with your peace of mind while you are away. I have a partner, Shaé B., who will attend the Meet & Greet with me. We DO NOT do housesittings (overnight care) together. We just do the meeting together because we want all clients to get acquainted with us both at the same time. If I am ever unavailable for a housesitting, Shaé B. can take my place if she is available. We use one another as back up and that's it. I get a high volume of booking requests and can't be at two places at once so it is nice to have someone else to help out!

Mark was fantastic with our cherished dog and senior kitty. He took great care of them, each in their own unique ways, while staying at our home. He sent daily updates that were so reassuring and responded promptly with any questions or issues that came up. We felt that our pets were in caring, experienced hands.

Mark house-sat our four dogs for two weeks while my partner and I were out of the country. I consider him an average sitter. He kept our dogs safe, exercised and fed them, and also fed our fish; however he seemed unfocused while we communicated important topics around our dog's care and his updates were brief and infrequent until I expressly requested more information. One of our dogs is a foster puppy still learning manners and socialization, but upon our return, he had regressed in his training and was anxious and reactive. Mark also did not keep our two reactive dogs separated at all times when unsupervised, which we emphasized several times as an unconditional requirement. While Mark may be a fine sitter with well-socialized, non-reactive dogs, I feel he is not suited to care for our pack which requires mindful attention and experience handling challenging dogs.

Mark is so respectful and professional! Zemu loves having Mark stay and I loved that Mark sent pictures and kept Z happy and entertained. I would highly recommend working with Mark and the Barks and Red team!
