Mark

I possess extensive experience in pet care, both in my personal life & throughout my 25-year career in caring for Military Provost & Security dogs. My deep affection for animals sets me apart as a compassionate & reliable pet sitter.

My precious experience provides a strong sense of responsibility, attentiveness, & the ability to handle various situations with calmness & professionalism. These qualities translate directly into the pet care services I provide, ensuring reliability, trustworthiness, & capability of handling any unexpected circumstances that may arise.

Furthermore, I have received training & also instructed in Enhanced Dog First Aid, provided instruction to numerous service dog handlers on advanced lifesaving techniques, catering to both general-purpose & specialised high-risk environment dogs. This training allows for a quick & effective response in case of any medical emergencies or injuries that may occur while your pet is under my care. Ensuring I am equipped to handle any health-related concerns & provide immediate assistance if needed.

I have acquired expertise in Enhanced Dog First Aid & also handling of Military & Security Dogs. Rest assured, both your cherished pet and your home will receive utmost safety and protection during your absence.

To provide an extra layer of protection, all dogs under my care are equipped with temporary Apple Air tags, enabling me to track their whereabouts & ensure their well-being throughout their time with me. My experience in security enhances my ability to provide a safe & secure environment, along with the skills necessary to handle any unforeseen circumstances that may arise, demonstrating a well-rounded & capable pet care provider.
