About Mark

Hi there, a bit about me is that I enjoy living nomadically, and currently am doing so as a petsitter. I have been a self employed painting contractor for most of my life, but since selling my house I have been exploring other things, working gigs and small jobs, and travelling more.

I am a big animal lover, and I have the time and space in my life to help look after other people's pets right now, so that's what I'm doing. I hope to focus on British Columbia, possibly going into Alberta and Sask as well. I'm from Saskatoon originally.

Currently I live in a camper van in between petsitting jobs, and do not have my own place to host your pets. I prefer longer term jobs, but I'm open to opportunities that make sense!

So far, I have experience looking after pets of friends, and their homes also. I love getting outside and dogs are a great motivator for that.

I am interested in gaining more experience to be able to travel as a house and pet sitter. My experience training and caring for my own dog for 12 years gives me the confidence to do so. I can handle large dogs, and dogs with behaviour issues, though I'm not a trainer. I've also cared for cats, including giving them oral and eye medicine.

I'm a responsible, self motivated and energetic person. I am taking online courses currently, and doing outdoor workouts currently as a daily routine.

I hope to be meet some of you and your pets very soon. Thanks!

I've cared for both cats and dogs in the owners home while they were away. Some medications hae been involved, including oral and eyedrop meds.
