Kind, caring and empathic dog lover

Pet care experience

I once worked at a PetSMart PetsHotel straight out of high school and I was very good with the dogs and the cats, by playing with them a lot and caring for them. I also have two miniature schnauzers named Statler & Waldorf that we’ve cared for since they were puppies.

Mario was such a pleasure to have stay at my house with Lucy for a second time. He is patient, kind, gentle, and is an excellent choice for pet sitting and house sitting, in any capacity. I’ve used 5-6 different Rover sitters since I moved here in March, and since I’ve found Mario, he is my go-to. He does a great job and id highly recommend him! Will def use every time I go out of town for work

Mario did a really nice job caring for my little cattle dog Lucy while house sitting for me! He was communicative, kind, caring, and followed the instructions I left for my dog and my house. I’ve moved into this area recently and have not been able to find a reliable pet sitter to stay in my home when I am away for work- until now :) I will definitely reach out to Mario again as my top choice. Thank you again!

Mario has been an amazing help with Dugie! Super nice and hard worker. Would recommend to anyone who needs some help with their animals. He shows them love and great attention to detail. Will continue to use Mario for future sitting needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Since I have two miniature schnauzers that I’ve had since they were puppies, I have a fenced-in backyard as well as many gates and fences inside my home to keep them off carpeted areas. I feed them doggy food and water twice a day and let them out in the backyard four times a day.

Information Mario C. would like to know about your pet

Whether the dog needs time to accustom to a new caregiver, whether the dog needs medication and how to administer it, whether they get along with certain dogs or not, if they have allergies or fears or restrictions (i.e. afraid of loud noises, don’t like being picked up).

A typical day

Play toys with them (fetch, frisbee etc.) walk them to the nearest park, tug of war, take them out for long walks or watch tv or movies with them.
