β€œI think this is about the 4th time that Mark has sat for us and the reason that we keep inviting him back is because his care of our cat and our home is exceptional. Easy to get hold of, self-sufficient, tidy and caring. No hesitation in recommending Mark to care for your pet and home.”

β€œThis is the second time Mark has sat for us and we were so pleased to see him again, including Kaiser and Oso! Mark kept in touch with us while we were away which calmed Cristina's separation anxiety lol! Whilst the boys were pleased to see us when we returned we could tell how happy they were with their Uncle Mark! The house was clean and tidy, the bedding stripped, the lawn mowed - the perfect house sitter! We now consider Mark a good friend and very much look forward to seeing him again!”

β€œWe cannot speak highly enough of Mark. He looked after our elderly dog, 2 cats and 3 chickens with great care and compassion. It was a delight to have him stay in our home, which he showed great respect for, leaving it beautifully. We arrived home late at night to very chilled pets, which shows just how happy they were in his care. We will certainly ask Mark to sit for us again without hesitation.”

β€œMark was the perfect house sitter. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned, but more importantly our dogs were well looked after. Mark took them out twice a day on different walks. He is obviously very experienced and confident with dogs, and both were walked and let off lead. We were all happy to see Mark again next year. A big thank you from all of us.”

β€œMark has just completed his sit for us and we can honestly say he allowed us to have the first confident anxiety-free holiday ever! We contacted Mark almost a year in advance and developed an easy rapport from our first Zoom call. He was even more reassuring in person from the start. Mark took great care of Kaiser and Oso and kept in touch with photos, walks and how they were doing.”

β€œThis is the third time Mark has looked after our spaniels, but this time he also cared for our daughter's stuff. He arrived the night before we departed, as usual, and our dogs seemed to recognise him. Again, they were very well looked after and were relaxed when we got home. Mark gave Finn's arthritis medication and coped with Finn's sore paws. The house was clean and tidy when we returned. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark.”

β€œMark was warm and friendly when we met him and he knew exactly how to introduce himself to two very anxious cats. He managed our house and looked after our patio and houseplants responsibly and soon built up a rapport with the cats, who were clearly relaxed and well when we returned from our holiday. He left our home in a clean and tidy state and had laundered the bed linen and towels when we arrived home. Throughout his stay he kept in regular contact and seemed both capable and trustworthy, leaving us with no anxieties and therefore able to totally relax and enjoy our holiday. We would be more than happy to have him as a sitter again and would not hesitate to recommend him to other home and pet owners.”

β€œMark is just fantastic. He has sat for us 3 times and he is sitting for us again. Monty was attacked before he got to us and he trusted Mark completely. I cannot recommend him enough; he is such a good sitter and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to sit, as he is a loving person who just loves animals.”

β€œMark was fantastic, as always. So reliable and took care of Koi's paw, which was a little infected before his sit. Koi loves him and has a very relaxed, calm energy with him, which is fantastic for our old girl.”

β€œWe were away for 2 months and have never left our dogs for this amount of time before. Mark enabled us to feel very comfortable with us leaving them. He was very friendly, looked after our 5 acre property and walked our dogs for long periods of time every day. We couldn't have asked for a better house sitter, care and effort. We would definitely recommend him and will be using him again! Thank you.”

β€œDonna and Rob Bain returned from a wonderful holiday to find our furry friend Georgia happy, and very well cared for by Mark. Mark kept contact with us with photos of Georgia walking on the beach. Mark also took great care of our farm animals too. As we have a 4 hour drive home from the airport Mark had cooked us dinner. Our lawn was mowed, the house was spotless, clean and tidy, all phone messages and documents collected, and more. For any house/pet sitting we would thoroughly recommend Mark to our family and friends.”

β€œMark looked after our big furry Bernese Mountain Dog, Rufus, when we had a few weeks holiday in Turkey. Mark was very conscientious about making sure he understood Rufus's routine and kept us up to date with the things we were really appreciated. Rufus never chewed during the week, and we returned to an immaculate clean house and a very happy, healthy dog. Mark was also the first person we had managed not to have anything chewed during the week – Rufus was a shoe, remote control and tea towel fan!”
