Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover forever
Mario: I have owned a dog for a majority of my life, from small to big sized dogs. I have owned pure bred and rescues throughout my life, every dog deserves a good home. My favorite dog is the Boston Terrier and I have owned 3 in recent years. I have experience with caring for older dogs and raising pups. My last Boston became sick with a neurological problem which provided me experience with giving daily medicines and changing her diaper multiple times a day. Since her passing, I have adopted two more Boston Terriers. Yoshi is a 2.5year old boy with a quirky personality who loves to give kisses and cuddle at night. Most recent addition to my home is an 8 month old girl named Mochi. Both of my pups are dog friendly, they love going to the dog park to run around and play. I have watched over my brother's 80 pound husky/cattle mix, my parents mixed rescue from a puppy mill, and friend's fur babies in the past. I provided plenty of stimulation with toys, bones, walks, dog parks and general play time of tug of war, fetch, etc. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby and promise to love them like my own!!!

Ratings and reviews
Mario did a great job caring for Benji while I was out of town. He sent wonderful photos and videos of Benji playing with his dogs. I will definitely be using him again to take care of my dog and would recommend him to everyone.
Mario was great with our dog and provided lots of updates! Will book again in the future!
Great working with him, patient, and communicated well with me when gaining access was a bit difficult. Took great care of my pup!
Mario was great! Very communicative and accommodating for drop off and pick up. I appreciated the photo updates while we were away.
Mario was great for our dogs and really cared for them while we were out of town. We were worried leaving during fireworks since one is terrified, but he calmed him down great! Mario was very informative and replied quickly. We will definitely use him again!
What a great experience for our dog Lincoln! He had a long stay and was so happy! Mario was great, he kept me updated and sent photos! Will sent Lincoln to stay with Mario again!

Schedule
Mario: I work full time on a hybrid schedule. I work from home 2-3 days a week; when I do go to the office I am gone from 7am-4:45pm. My dogs eat in the morning then go for a walk to take care of business before I leave for work. When I work from home, I have more flexibility to take the dogs out for more walks or to the dog park (weather permitting). After I come home from work the dogs are fed and taken for another walk; my two dogs keep each other busy, either playing tug-a-war or keep away of their favorite toy. I will also play these games and fetch if they want me to but they tire each other out way better than I ever could. I have a small fenced in patio with grass area for them to do their business, I let the dogs out whenever they want to.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a small fenced in patio (4ft high fence) with an astro-turf area for the dogs to go potty. I provide a loving and safe environment at my home for my two pups and would do the same for yours. I provide plenty of toys and treats for good behavior, using positive reinforcement. I do crate our dogs when I leave, your dog doesn't necessarily need to be crated if they are well behaved. My pups also sleep in our bed, I would accommodate you to the best of my abilities on the structures and rules your pup has already in place.
Pets
A typical day
Outside of having two boston terriers that constantly play with each other and other dogs I have watched in the past, Iprovide stimulating activity with toys and bones. Playing tug of war, fetch, chase around the house, etc; if you're comfortable with me taking your fur baby to the dog park I would be happy to do that as well. I try to go at least 2-3x a week with my pups where they play with other dogs or a big ball I bring for them.
