Safety, trust & environment
After playing catch, a long walk and some dinner your pup will be ready for bed. I’m happy to follow his usual sleeping arrangement whether its sleeping in a crate or on his bed to ensure he feels comfortable and safe.
Information Dario B. would like to know about your pet
As much information as possible. Breed, age, last vet visit, what is a typical day for your dog like? How long have you had the dog? Where did you obtain the dog? Shelter? Pet store? relative? Where is it kept? in Home? Outside?
A typical day
We would go on nature walks/hikes to the beach, park, stay home and play with your dogs favorite toy or work on basic training to create a dog whose primary motivation is based on earning a reward as opposed to avoiding a punishment. I would like to establish a positive relationships with local dogs and their owners.

Pet care experience
With seven years of experience and as a certified dog trainer I embrace working with all types of dogs, no matter height, weight, age, breed or behavior. I can use training techniques to teach dogs obedience and other desirable behaviors. Or we can just enjoy each other's company. I have basic study of canines and their learning theory. I’m an Animal Behavior College alumni, I have interned at The Best Friends Animal Shelter in Los Angeles, CA. Please feel free to ask any questions. I will be more than happy to answer them. A mentally and physically tired dog is very happy dog.
Reviews

Repeat with Dario, our guy was well taken care of. Appreciate the updates and pics throughout the sit. Definitely recommend Dario.

Second time with Dario, responsive, on time and the pup was happy when we got home!! I’d use him again!


We had a sudden family emergency and needed someone on very short notice to dogsit for our two German Shepherds in our home. Dario stepped in and was truly wonderful. We left him with a long (and honestly complicated) list of instructions... different routines, special feeding details, and one of our dogs had wounds on her paw that needed regular care. Dario handled everything exactly as asked and didn’t seem fazed at all. He took great care of both dogs, kept a close eye on the injured paw, and sent us daily updates and photos. That communication made such a difference. During a really hard week for our family, we didn’t have to worry about the dogs, we knew they were in good hands. We had an unexpected guest and 3rd dog show up a few days in, and he handled that calmly and with a great attitude, even helping the dogs get introduced and used to one another. We’re very grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book Dario again.

Dario is wonderful. Incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and our girl instantly took to him.
