Safety, trust & environment

Some qualities that I can say that I am proud of having is staying calm and being patient in any given situation. Seen in many experiences, pets will react the same way that the owner/caregiver will react, which is why it is better to not panic or freak out in any given circumstance. As well as being a psychology major, I have studied and learned about identifying behaviors not only with humans but with animals as well in multiple classes these past two years in college. I understand that sometimes pets simply do not like to get touched as much or may not be super comfortable with a stranger around, which is absolutely fair and respectable. Overall, I am very excited and prepared to get to know your pet(s) and be able to build a trust and see what they love. Not only do I want to build a trust with them, but their owners as well. I am also bilingual, fluent in Spanish. I love taking the funniest pictures of your pets, but do not worry I will make sure to add the cute ones as well.

Information Mario H. would like to know about your pet

If an certain accommodations are needed, please do not hesitate to let me know. The sooner I know, the better I will be prepared. Let me know if you prefer a certain schedule, whether it be for feeding or walks.

A typical day

If you chose me as your pet caretaker, I will make sure that your pet will feel like they being treated like an A-list celebrity. That comes with consistent attention, security and protection, and fun activities for entertainment. Whether your pet likes to chill around the house, or likes the ball to be thrown, they will be having a great time. I have taken a photography class and it is one of my main hobbies. As much as I like taking cute, high-quality pictures, I love to take goofy, unfiltered pictures the most.

Pet care experience

Hello pet owners and lovers! I do not have a preference when it comes to dog sizes, I own a small dog and currently live with a big dog when I’m at college. I have more pet care experience with smaller dogs but I have had more experiences with bigger dogs ever since starting Rover. If considered for a booking, I personally make sure that your pet feels loved and cared for every second I am with them.

Mario was awesome! Very communicative, showed up on time for every walk, and was able to handle my large and energetic dog with no problem. Highly recommend!

Mario was reliable, considerate, punctual, and my pup loved him. He made my long weekdays so much easier because I knew I could rely on Mario to take good care of my dog Artie.
