Baxter

This website is dedicated to "Baxter", the finest Bassett Hound I had the pleasure to care for.



We have thoroughly enjoyed the pet sitting services provided by Mark Darcy - A Furry Godfather Professional Pet Care.  Pet Sitting is hardly the word to use.   Mark takes detailed care of all our pets as well as being genuinely compassionate and caring.
He watches over the house, waters plants and has many years of experience and knowledge on home security.  In the past, we used a kennel.  Our personal experience was that our pets would become very sressed. Now that we can leave them at home, in their own environment,  we know that they are receving excellent care.  When  we return, they are always happy, well cared for and content.  In fact, I think they miss Mark when we come home!  One thing we really appreciate is Mark's daily diary of pet care notes and attention to detail.  We highly recommend the services A Furry Godfather provides.

"After knowing and working with Mark for several years, I've come to the conclusion that he is one of the best pet sitters I have ever met.  His forestry and wildlife education, plus his law enforcement background, make him more qualified than anyone I've ever met to be trusted with pet care and home security. Anyone who hires Mark is hiring the very best."

"This letter is to detail my experience with Mr. Mark Darcy, A Furry Godfather Professional Pet Care.  My husband and I employed Mr. Darcy to pet sit for our two dogs over the 4th of July holiday.  On our trip we received several calls from Mr. Darcy "checking in" to let us know that our puppies were happy and healthy.  Upon return from our vaction, we were greeted by two well cared for dogs and a wonderful note from Mr. Darcy that let us know what we had missed while we were away.  The house was tidy and all of the matter we had covered with Mr. Darcy in the pet sit consultation were attended to.  We found Mr. Darcy to be conscientious and thorough and my husband and I felt very comfortable having him stay in our home and take care of our two precious puppies.  We are looking forward to using Mr. Darcy's services on our next vacation and have recommended him to both our family and friends."

"Mark has been so great with our elderly cat. He comes to take care of her physical needs, but does so much more; he spends time really visiting with her, giving her lots of attention. In addition to taking care of our cat, he attends to our outdoor goldfish pond, feeding the fish and checking the water level. He is also concerned with the security of our house and we feel absolutely at ease leaving everything in his hands. He is a pleasure to work with and is completely  professional. If you need someone to care for your pets, Mark is the best!"

"I have known Mark Darcy all my life and he has been a true friend.  Over the years he has always been trustworthy, especially as it relates to following through with his commitments.  Mark house sat and pet sat for us for about three weeks.  Mark attended to our cat "Tiger" and rabbit "Bunny".  We consider our pets to be part of the family and Mark made sure they received that special attention.  Mark also attended to all the responsibilities of maintaining our home while we were away. The mail and paper were collected and organized by date on our table and the house was vacuumed and kept clean. I also felt comfortable with Mark because of his law enforcemement background. I knew Mark would bring his unique perspective about security to our home."

"Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our beloved Buttercup. This was the first time that we have left her that she wasn't mad at me when I returned home.  Especially since we were gone for 3 weeks.  It is a real comfort to be able to leave our pet and not to have to worry about her care. She is of course much happier at her own home and with her normal food and routine.
 
Looking forward to using your service on our next trip."
