I am Mario a Certified Dog Trainer!

As a family we’ve had pets my whole life. I am 35 now and I received my Certification for Dog Training through Animal Behavior College. I have worked at pet hotels for 3 years. I have experience professionally in Dog Care Services for almost 8 years now. I also have experience from Best Friends Animal Shelter. I am very excited to meet and take care of your pup. Thank you for your time. I live in an apartment near Downtown Long Beach close to; parks, trails, dog parks, dog beaches, etc. I am Certified through Animal Behavior College in Dog Training that stands by our LIMA Method in Dog Training (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive). I believe dogs are beautiful souls that need love and connection.

Dog Walking • Juli 01, 2026

Mario is teaching Osita a lot of walking and leash etiquette that we’ve let slide. She is getting used to him slowly but doing very well.

Doggy Day Care • Feb. 23, 2026

Mario did a great job taking care of Mowgli. He walked Mowgli frequently, took him on multiple potty breaks and made sure he was fed before we picked him up. Mowgli seemed content and happy in the photo Mario sent. Mowgli was also plenty happy when we picked him up. Mario was attentive and took great care of our boy. I would recommend him if you are looking for someone attentive to take care of your pup.

Doggy Day Care • Dez. 06, 2025

Our senior pup has some limited mobility due to a recent injury, but Mario was great with her! His calm demeanor had her comfortable in no time. He was professional and very responsive during booking, and Zoey is looking forward to her next visit with Mario!

Mario was great. My dog stayed with him for 2 nights while k was out of town. He accommodated some last minute scheduling changes for pick up, and took great care of my dog. Would highly recommend him if you’re looking for a dog sitter.
