Basically a human golden retriever

Pet care experience

I've taken care of both my own pets and those of my friends and family since I was 15 years old (now 23). This has predominantly been composed of walks, feeding and bathing, and training on special occasions. I am well versed with all sorts of personalities, especially pets that are not so friendly with their four-legged colleagues, and will make sure that your pet is not only well protected but understood despite their adorable quirks. I work remotely and have a lot of flexibility with my hours during the week so I can be available anytime Monday-Friday. On weekends I do play soccer/tennis Sunday mornings from 10am-12pm but this is also something I can adjust if need be. I have a fantastic 1 bed room apartment in a brand new building in Downtown Jersey City. My building partners with Bark Buildings and thus has its own dog run, dog treats in the lobby, and of course, a surplus of potential four-legged friends running around so i am very capable of providing service in my home as well as yours! With regards to how I will care for your pet, no one knows a pet better than its owner, so I am always very open to suggestions and recommendations from the pet owners themselves. My personality type is very playful/energetic so I tend to give a lot of attention to the pet I'm taking care of but I'm well-versed with all personality types so I can adjust accordingly.

Dario took good care of Stella for us. He shared a few photos and she took to him quickly. Would definitely use him again!

Dario did a great job with Maya. She has a strict schedule which they stuck to. I was late in picking her up but they were really flexible. Dario was also very approachable and available throughout the day for updates. Appreciate the care. Will definitely recommend.

Dario will always treat your dog like one of his own. He watched my dog for 2 nights and always kept me in the loop with updates and photos. My dog is extra energetic so I'm usually worried about getting other people to take care of her, but Dario exceeded my expectations and paid special attention and gave her extra walks and playtime.

Dario is a reliable, trustworthy, and outgoing person who has a passion for dogs. I have been using him as my dog sitter for the past 10 months and I could not be happier. He treats my golden retriever like it’s his own and my dog is so happy to see him every time he shows up. He will send me pictures of my dog throughout the time he watches him so I know how he is doing which I love. Thank you so much Dario for being the best!

Information Dario F. would like to know about your pet

I understand no one knows a pet better than its owners so it's absolutely crucial to me that I get a decent understanding of the dog, how it plays with others, what kind of attention it likes, and even preferences on treats! Of course, any health-related concerns are my priority but the more I know about your dog the better experience I can provide for them!

A typical day

I love to go on walks with my girlfriend along the Jersey City waterfront and I have 3 dog parks within a 3 block radius of my building that I would be thrilled to take your dog to. If your dog prefers longer walks, Hamilton Park is one of my favorite places in the city and it is my go-to for adventures. If your dog is extra energetic, I'd love to throw a ball around and maybe even teach it some soccer as I did with my own dog!
