I’m happy to take care of your pet(s) needs at your home. I have cared for sick dogs and cats. I’m completely comfortable giving medication and/or injections.

Information Dario F. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the routine of the dog. How many walks per day and times, eating times. Is the dog social with other dogs. Is the dog comfortable around other people, kids, bicycles etc. are there things that easily scare your dog?

A typical day

I love to take dogs on long walks at the beach, mountain trails, parks or city streets. I like to stimulate dogs by playing with them, tossing a ball, stick or frisbee.

TREAT YOUR PET TO A VACATION 🦮🐈

Pet care experience

Throughout my entire life, I have had the pleasure of owning and caring for a variety of furry friends including dogs, cats, bunnies, and chickens. My last dog, a Labrador, is absolutely amazing and currently resides with my daughters. As a former owner of a dog grooming business in Los Angeles, we proudly upheld a cage-free environment and groomed over 8,000 dogs annually with the occasional presence of 10-25 dogs in my office at any given time. I am a patient and calming individual, and I have also trained my own dogs. When it comes to your pet's needs, I am happy to walk them through city streets, parks, or trails or simply cuddle with them at home. I am also attentive to maintaining their schedule and dietary restrictions. As a semi-retired professional, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to dedicate ample time to your pets. Living in Montrose, I have a reliable car and am able to commute with ease. If your furry friend is in need of care at home, I am more than happy to assist. I have experience caring for sick dogs and cats and am completely comfortable administering medication and/or injections.

Dario was very responsive from our initial contact. Judging from the photos Dario sent while we were gone (much appreciated!), our very independent cat warmed up to Dario in record time! Dario communicated with us regularly, and we knew Rocket and our home were in very good hands. I hope Dario is available when we travel in the future. I recommend him without hesitation!

One of our dogs has anxiety when we leave to travel, so that always concerns me. We also have a 6 month old puppy and this was the first time we were leaving her. They all did great!!We got updates and photos every day and they all looked happy . That made. It easier for me to be away. We will definitely use Dario again.

Dario went above and beyond taking care of our kitty Flynn and our chickens. He kept me updated daily with texts and photos. We came home to a happy kitty. Dario is reliable, trustworthy and I highly recommend him.

Dario was just amazing. Over and above my expectations. I was nervous as I don’t often leave my dogs. He made me feel very confident and comfortable.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
