A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
My housesitting career was born from two things: a deep appreciation of homes and a love of extended travel. I’m a detail-oriented and thoughtful person with a good memory and an easy laugh (or so I'm told!). In my day job, I’m a product manager and corporate innovation consultant. I take my housesitting responsibilities seriously and enjoy building a genuine connection with clients.

MY APPROACH TO HOUSE AND PET SITTING
NUANCED CARE
Before starting the house sit, I'd like to connect with you on a call to understand the detailed needs of your house and pet. I want to understand what will make this a great sit for you.
FREQUENT UPDATES
I understand that when you're away, a photo or video of your pet and home can go a long way. I'll be in touch daily to let you know how things are going, and you can always give me a call.
EXTENDED STAY
I specialize in longer term stays of 3+ weeks in length. During that time, I like to build relationships with my clients and make a friendly impression on anyone I meet in their community.

Pet-sitting 'Peanut'
APR 2021
Peanut definitely had a good time with Mark. I'd receive a couple videos each day from Mark with Peanut playing or sleeping - it was really nice and kept me comfortable that Peanut was doing well. Mark also took good care of the house and fixed an issue with my car.

House-sit '2BR Home'
DEC 2019
Mark watched our home while my husband and I were away during Christmas. He kept the house very tidy and in excellent order. He also left the car with a full tank of gas and gifted us a great antique tray he found while in town. We'll use him again soon!

Pet-sitting 'Thumper'
JUN 2020
While I was traveling to Colorado, Mark came up from New York to watch the house and our pet cat, Thumper. We have a big property and he was able to help with upkeep in addition to playing with Thumper. I'd recommend Mark.
