Pet care experience

Since the summer of 2020, I have been caretaking and fostering dogs helping them to learn desirable behaviours and training them to make them feel more confident and prouder than ever. I have experience with various breeds and have an entire home that the pups can have access to if housebroken! I love to spend time getting to know what makes each dog unique and figuring out the best way to interact with them. I enjoy looking after dogs from all walks of life, those young or old, energetic or lazy, food or play motivated, and more. While I look after a pet, I do my best to reinforce desirable traits without rewarding negative ones, all while ensuring they have a fun and relaxing time!

I am pleased to recommend Mario as an exceptional pet sitter. Mario has been an invaluable resource for pet owners in our community, providing reliable and compassionate care for their beloved animals. Mario's love for animals is evident in everything he does. As a pet sitter, he goes above and beyond to ensure the comfort, happiness, and safety of each furry friend entrusted to his care. Whether it's feeding, walking, grooming, or simply providing companionship, Mario approaches every task with genuine warmth and dedication. One of Mario's greatest strengths is his unwavering reliability. Pet owners can rest assured knowing that their pets are in capable hands when they entrust them to Mario's care. He is punctual, responsible, and always goes the extra mile to accommodate the needs and preferences of both pets and their owners. Mario is also highly skilled at handling a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to birds and small mammals. He understands the unique needs and personalities of each pet and tailors his care approach accordingly. Whether it's administering medication, handling special dietary requirements, or addressing behavioral concerns, Mario handles every situation with professionalism and expertise. Moreover, Mario possesses excellent communication skills, keeping pet owners updated with regular updates and photos during their absence. His transparent and proactive approach to communication helps alleviate any concerns and ensures peace of mind for pet owners while they are away. In addition to his technical skills, Mario is a pleasure to work with due to his friendly demeanor, positive attitude, and strong work ethic. He approaches every pet sitting assignment with enthusiasm and care, treating each animal as if they were his own. In conclusion, I have no hesitation in recommending Mario as a pet sitter. His passion for animals, coupled with his reliability and professionalism, make him an outstanding candidate for any pet sitting role.

Mario is great, he’s very nice and communicative. I needed my dog to be trained while i was away for work. My dog was still 4 months old and Mario did a great job. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but he potty trained him (going out to his yard every 4 hours or so) taught him how to walk and leash manners. Overall, great experience! Would 100 percent recommend

Mario was a trainer I hired that helped to train my dog for me! I met him through Kijiji when he was first starting out with training and he provided me plenty of knowledge that I continued to use long after our training sessions! We have remained in contact and he still checks on me from time to time!

I feed my current dog and cat their necessary meals twice a day with plenty of treats and training in between. I ensure my dog gets a minimum one hour walk per day with many days exceeding that amount, while I constantly reinforce positive behaviour. My animals are allowed with me wherever I go and spend their time glued to my side!

Please let me know any special needs or special training behaviours that your dog may require. I am willing to accommodate most needs and am willing to learn the schedule that fits THEM best and stick to it!

A typical day

Due to the flexibility of my job, I am able to dedicate my full attention to our dogs throughout the day while also providing plenty of playtime and stimulating activities! In between our play sessions, mealtimes and walks, I typically enforce naps by putting the pups a quiet room that has access to a crate, water, and safe chews, allowing them to unwind and relax for a little while before our next fun time!

My job allows me the ability to work from home and take frequent intermittent breaks. I dedicate all the free time I have to ensuring our dogs are stimulated mentally at all times, while giving them plenty of exercise to stay physically active.
