Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Best Friend
Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years, that love turned into something even deeper: a commitment to helping animals who need it most. I’ve spent years rescuing cats (non‑professionally) from difficult street conditions in Costa Rica, giving them safety and a chance at a loving home. Today, I share my home with my wife and our three rescue cats, all adopted there and cherished like family. They’re my babies, and they remind me every day how much joy and love animals bring into our lives. Your pets won’t just be looked after. They’ll be cared for with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own.

Safety, trust & environment
I can provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes. I know how important it is for pets to keep their routine, even when their owners are away, so I follow their usual schedule and habits to help them feel comfortable and secure.
Ratings and reviews
Mario is fantastic!! Very caring and awesome with my dog, Rocky!! He is professional, friendly & went out if his way to make sure Rocky has everything needed. I am definitely using Mario again & again!!
I highly recommend Mario as a pet caregiver. He is someone who truly loves animals and takes care of them in a very thoughtful and comprehensive way. He always makes sure pets are safe, comfortable, well-fed, and happy, while also paying close attention to their emotional needs. Mario is extremely responsible, honest, and reliable. He follows instructions carefully and treats every animal as if it were his own. I would trust him completely with any pet, knowing they would receive excellent care, patience, and lots of love.
