Pet care experience

Fast response. Grooming. Same day.

Very friendly with animals. I can usually do last minute calls or emergency stop bys incase something of yours comes up and you need a sitter, just text me. Ive owned dogs since I was very little, now in in a time I dont have any, I want to help others with theirs. I have a reliable car that can can get me to your house and room for dogs in it. I have plenty of space on on the outside of my house to walk around and play. Walking, running, playing. Im always on call or text if you need me, just ask me. Can help with older dogs too. Hablo español por si si acaso tienes preguntas en español. Si necesitas que te traduzca, no hay problema. Si tienes emergencia, avisame y te cuido el perro.

I love when Mario watches my boys, he genuinely cares about them, updates me with photos, and my boys are always comfortable and happy. It’s a blessing to have found him.

He is an honest person. For 15 days, he kept in touch to ensure I felt at ease, and I am grateful for everything.

Mario was absolutely incredible. As someone that was weary because of past experiences with people watching my dogs and how important they are to me, Mario eased all my worries, answered all my questions, sent me daily updates of my boys and took exceptional care of them. I would recommend him to my loved ones and will absolutely be using his services again

I was very disappointed in Mario’s care of both our home and our pups. The home was not well kept as we left it, blood stains on the greasy filthy floors, and blood stain on the wall/door. Neglected our pups and left our disabled senior dog laying on her sides so often for extended periods of time she developed bed sores all over her body and face. Never walked her per the care instructions and developed severe muscle atrophy. She was able to walk unassisted prior to Mario and when we returned, she couldn’t even stand or even support herself sitting up. Completely abusive negligence. This was so severe, we may have to euthanize our pup. On top of that, Mario gave us an update 10 out of the 21 days of the stay, sometimes prompted by me asking for an update. This was highly opposite of the reviews I’ve read from prior stays, so I have no idea where things went wrong.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a good sized room for pets that I can keep in while I go work, and plenty of space around that is safe for animals to walk in.

A typical day

We have a nice area around my spot that can be good for walking and is safe, enough to even play in, and a big house with plenty of space.

It should be enough to just have the feeding schedules and potty schedules for your animals, and any other medicine that they need written in text and sent.
