Your animal's 2nd best friend

Pet care experience

Howdy there! My name is Mario and I am a longtime dog lover, owner, and friend. My family had dogs throughout my entire youth, and I helped raise two more during my time at Ohio State. For several years, I've compounded medications for dogs and other animals at a local pharmacy. My skills include the ability to recognize behavioral signals, patience with all breed types, and reliability. I guarantee nothing but you and your animal's happiness! I live in a safe community and you can rest assured knowing that your animal is on close watch and leashed (if preferred) at all times. I look forward to getting to know you and your beloved pets.

I was very concerned with finding a good match for my dog as this was the first time he was ever left alone with a stranger and especially in a new environment. Mario was very professional and kept in good contact while I was out of town, definitely will be a go to in the future when the pupper needs watching!

Mario has always been nothing but wonderful when he has watched my dog. He gets her lots of exercise to tire her out- long walks, trips to the dog park and lots of hiking. He’s extremely accommodating whenever my pick up time changes and gives continuous updates of his & my dogs schedule. I trust him completely with my dog & will continue to use him in the future!

I could not have asked for a better sitter for my dog, Osa. Mario was very professional throughout the entire process and had excellent communication with me before, during and after Osa’s stay. Most importantly, he cared for her as if she was his own. Osa tends to get “thrown off” when she has to stay somewhere unknown overnight, but when she came home from Mario’s house she was completely relaxed and didn’t miss a beat. It’s clear Mario gave her tons of attention and she felt comfortable in his home. If I could give Mario more than 5 stars, I would. If you’re considering booking with Mario, do it!

We are glad we found Mario as a sitter for our dog, Duke. Mario was awesome with Duke and took care of him as his own. He sent lots of pictures of Duke's stay, including the ones on hike. It was obvious that Duke loved Mario and had a great time because he wasn't excited to come home. Mario went above and beyond our expectations and I would highly recommend Mario as a sitter for your dog.
