My life pretty much revolves around pet care, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. Being a fitness pro gives me the flexibility to spend heaps of time with our four-legged pals. We start our days bright and early at 6am with a refreshing walk. It's the perfect wake-up call and sets us up for a day full of fun and activities. Jefferson Park is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from where I live, plus there's a great dog park right outside our door, so adventure is never far off. Afternoons might find us exploring further or enjoying the local dog park for some extra playtime. As the day winds down, we chill out together, capping the evening with a relaxed stroll. Weekends are our chance to amp up the adventure, think longer hikes or new spots to explore, always keeping in tune with what each dog is up for. I'm all about creating a balanced, consistent routine that makes dogs feel secure and looked after. It's about more than just walks and play; it's about ensuring they're happy, comfortable, and feeling right at home. Having the chance to share in their care, giving them the same affection and attention as if they were my own, is genuinely rewarding.

Information Mario G. would like to know about your pet
Getting the scoop on your fur-baby lets me roll out the red carpet for them! So, here’s the lowdown on what I’d love to know to make their stay absolutely paw-some: Triggers: What gets your pup's tail in a twist? A certain sound, a specific sight, or maybe a particular situation? Behavior: Is your furry friend the life of the party, or do they tend to watch from the sidelines? Maybe there are certain things that make them a bit jumpy or cautious? Personality: Are they the boss of the dog park, a happy follower, or the perfect mix of confidence and chill? Social Skills: What’s the vibe like when they meet new two-legged or four-legged friends? Have they mastered the art of polite sniff greetings, or are they still figuring out the social scene? Routine: Just like us, every pup has their own flow. What’s a day in the life of your dog look like? Are they all about action, or do they prefer leisurely lounging with occasional bursts of energy? Health: Got any health quirks I should know about? Anything from allergies to “uh-oh, I ate something I shouldn’t have” tendencies, or maybe they get a bit anxious when you’re not around? The more I know, the more epic the stay. Every little detail, from their adorable quirks to their specific needs, helps me make sure your dog feels more than just “at home”, they feel like they’re on the best doggone vacation ever! Let's make their time with me a full-blown, tail-wagging fiesta! ???
A typical day
Hanging out with me means every day is a non-stop tail-wagging party! I’m all about diving deep into the world of fun and exploration with our four-legged buddies. Imagine your pup, tagging along with mine, getting the royal treatment with walks that aren't just a stroll around the block. We're talking epic 45 to 60-minute adventures every single day! But wait, it gets better! We don’t do boring. Our squad hits up local dog parks, goes on scenic hikes, explores the coolest beaches, and checks out all the dog-friendly spots you can think of. I’m here to make sure our furry friends stretch their legs, fill their lungs with fresh air, and have the time of their lives. Why? Because I live by the golden rule: a tired dog is a blissfully happy dog. And let’s be honest, they deserve nothing less. So, if you’re ready for your dog to have the adventure of a lifetime, look no further. Let’s make every day with your pup an unforgettable journey!

Because here, it’s not just about watching over dogs; it’s about making them feel understood, secure, and joyously happy.
Reviews
Mario provided an amazing care for Ben. He took the time to do some training with him, even though he had him for just a couple of days. Ben was so happy in all the pictures and videos Mario took of him and Angel together, which we absolutely loved. And he was all good and happy when we picked him up (so tired the next morning, after all the exercise hahaha). They went to a lot of parks and, overall, I feel super happy with the service. And also Mario was very flexible when we ask if we could pick him up pretty late.
This was the first time I have left Leni with someone I didn’t know for this long, and Mario made me feel so at ease! Leni immediately settled in so well with him and his own sweet pup. I received picture updates every single day of their adventures, so I knew she was well taken care of and having the best time. I couldn’t have hoped for a better rover for my girl!
Mario is truly the best - our dog has the best time and Mario is so patient with him, even though he is a handful :)
Mario is absolutely outstanding as a dog sitter, and has knowledge far beyond your standard "boarding service." Mario invested over an hour of his time for our meet and greet, paying attention to every detail in meeting our pup. Our dog was not only looked after, she was loved, exercised, and socialized in a safe environment. We gave an overview of our dog's training limitations and Mario was diligent in noting where she excelled and could use more practice. I am thoroughly impressed at how intuitive and knowledgeable Mario is when it comes to dog sitting and training. We will absolutely have our pup stay with him again!
