Your dog will love it here!

My name is Mario and I am a video editor and producer. If your pup needs a good, friendly spot to hang just hit me up. About this sitter: Hey my name is Mario and I am a dog lover in San Mateo. I am great with training puppies and love to go for long walks on the beach or through parks with pups. Why I love dog sitting I am a life-long dog owner and have helped train a lot of my friend's dogs with terrible behavior. I was the loving owner of two beautiful rescue pups that loved long walks on the beach and candle-lit dinners with kibble and water. I am great with older dogs, and young dogs with manic energy (raising a abused rat terrier, and troubled beagle was a crash course in dogs with neuroses). I will walk your dog at least twice a day/night per stay as part of the stay. I like lengthy 30-45 minute jogs as well for energetic / working dogs. My major service I offer is fixing issues with young pups or anxious dogs. Correcting bad behavior and training is something I worked a lot on during Covid as I spent a lot of time training pups after my pups passed. Your dog is going to love me. Thanks everyone. M.

Mario was excellent! We took our 7 month old puppy (Benji) to him for 3 days of boarding. It was the first time we had to board Benji and I'm very happy we chose Mario! Mario is super knowledgeable and took great care of our pup. It was clear Benji got a lot of attention and exercise throughout the weekend! We received a lot of updates and excellent pictures. Looking forward to working with Mario in the future. We highly recommend him!

My dog is very shy with new people and Mario made sure she was okay. Mario gave her the extra attention needed for their first visit and took bunch of photos. I would recommend as my dog got comfortable with him quickly. Thank you Mario!!

Safety, trust & environment

Lots of long walks in the park. Lots of playing in the house. The usual things dogs like. Early riser so day starts around 7.

A typical day

Your dog's sleeping arrangement I usually ask if they have a bed, bring it. Time I'll spend with your dog 8-14 hours usually, I work from home 80/90 percent of the time. I work at my computer in my home office and walk often as my job requires numerous breaks for walks/coffee and such.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
No females in heat
Mario can host up to 2 pets per night
I like medium sized dogs and small dogs. I always need to know if they have health or behavioral issues. Normally I ask if they are friendly with other pets/children and people. What medication they need, and what they prefer in their routines so the dogs and I can all be on the same page.
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.
