High energy! Kind! Attentive!

Pet care experience

Hi there! Mario and Brenda have cared for animals for about 20 years each now. They have 5+ years of professional experience and 3+ years on Rover. They are avid dog lovers, and enjoy every opportunity to meet a new pup. They love living in such a dog-friendly neighborhood. They are active people, especially Mario who runs marathons and is willing to out walk/run your dog any day of the week. They like to ensure your dog is comfortable, please share any needs, wants, and advice in your absence so they can cater to your dog the best way possible. Things to bring for dog-boarding: Food and Food bowl. A bed, blanket, or towel (only one of these needed, it helps with stress/anxiety). Leash/harness. Favorite bone/toy (to help with de-stressing). Any special treats they may want. Last thing to note: We do not dog sit German Shepards, thank you.

Mario has taken care of our dog a few times now and it has been great each time- she's thrilled to see him every time we drop her off!

Mario took care of our dog Scooby for the second time last week. It was her longest time with a sitter yet, 4 days. She seemed very happy with Mario, and he took great care of her. 🐶

Mario is fantastic. This is the second time Bessie has stayed with him. Bessie is skiddish and Mario takes his time to make sure she’s comfortable. He sends photos throughout the day to show me how she is doing. I would highly recommend Mario and plan to use him in the future.

Mario did a wonderful job sitting our dog, Scooby, this weekend. He was a natural with her and made her feel comfortable quickly. He also sent great updates.
