• What Our Clients Have To Say About Us

  • Kathy F

    Mark is excellent. Reliable, personable and great with Buddy!

  • Michael S

    Mark is an awesome petsitter! I called him on short notice to take care of my two rambunctious dogs over a weekend before the fourth of July. Not only was he very responsive and timely, he adapted to my dogs in no time. He provided excellent care, spent extra time playing with them over and above the walks, and kept me posted by text message so I had piece of mind while away. This was my first experience with a sitter, and I will never use a kennel again. I'd recommend Mark to anyone!

  • Tom H

    Thanks for taking care of my cat, Mark! You were extremely professional, thoughtful, and totally made me feel confident that Nika was fine while I was gone. You will definitely be getting a call next time I'm planning a trip

  • Ruthie S

    We are from out of town and needed a last minute pet sitter in Philadelphia. Naturally, we were very nervous about leaving our pet with a complete stranger. But alas, Mark is kind and gentle and helped us to feel completely comfortable from the get-go. We received a text message update and pictures of our pet which just proves the care and effort that he puts into his business. We were very impressed and would strongly recommend his services to anyone

  • Dee M

    Mark was awesome with our dog Laney! We have searched for a long time for a person we trust with our dog and Mark exceeded our expectations. His gentle nature was a perfect match for our beagle! In addition he coordinated so well with my 86 year old mom (where Laney was staying while we were out of town). He is dedicated and earnest and we fully intend to use Mark for walks whenever we have to be out of the city. We recommend him fully!

  • Don M

    Mark is the nicest person and he really loves animals and he is very good with them

  • Maggie W

    Mark has taken care of my puppy, Lily, at various times. This includes taking her to the local dog park and also to vet visits. Lily absolutely adores Mark. I certainly believe that using his company is a wise choice
