Pet care experience

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. I have a a small park within walking range, maybe 5 minutes walking, lots to do there. 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.

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.

Mario was amazing. I was out of town and needed someone last minute in a pinch. He was available and we spoke on the phone so he could understand exactly what I needed for care for my dogs. He was great with them, and communicative with me! He took care of the house and of course the pups, sent daily photos, and kept me updated. I didn’t have to worry at all with him caring for my two guys.

Mario is very reliable dog sitter , followed all our instructions on taking care of our fur baby, gave us an update regularly along photos and videos ?, I highly recommend him and plan to hire him again for future dog sitting needs.
