About Mark's Happy Pets
Mark's Happy Pets is committed to providing the best care for your furry family members. With years of experience and a passion for animals, I am dedicated to ensuring that your pets are happy, healthy, and safe while in my care. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to tailor my services to meet those needs. Your pet's well-being is my top priority. During my dog walks and sitting I am happy to utilize specific canine training approaches to work on reinforcing basic commands or reduce challenging behaviors like mild-moderate leash aggression and leash pulling.
About Me
Dr. Mark Kinkema, PhD
Owner and Pet Carer
Dogs and cats have always been an integral part of our family. In addition, I have volunteered for years at local animal shelters and rescue organizations to help care for animals in need and to serve as a foster parent. I will bring this same level of compassion and dedication when caring for your beloved pet. The extensive experience that I have acquired by working with my own pets, strays, and abandoned animals of all sizes and breeds will enable me to provide excellent care for your dog or cat.
​
I am also passionate about building stronger and happier relationships between people and their dogs through the use of canine training. I am actively studying canine training approaches and the science of canine behavior. In addition, I work daily on training my own dog Charlie, which is helping to strengthen our bond, develop beneficial canine behaviors, and curb challenging behaviors such as leash aggression. And Charlie really enjoys our training sessions as well!
​
I decided to pursue my passion for animals and start a pet care business after working a long career in the biotechnology sector in both Australia and the US. I have a PhD in Biology and have been involved in teaching and directing research programs in the areas of molecular biology and biotechnology.
​
Now I look forward to working closely with each of my clients to provide you with all the support you need for your Happy Pets!
