Luna came home happy and tired! Mario told me he was even able to ride a bike with Luna next to him.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 02, 2026

Mario was able to watch my high energy and a little anxious dog on short notice. This was our first visit and my dog is very happy and very tired.

Mario is a remarkable pet sitter. We have trusted him for years with our dogs and never have any concerns while they’re in his care. In fact, they come home more well behaved after being with him as he is also great at dog training! Mario is truly an asset and anyone would be lucky to allow their dogs to be taken care of by him!

Mario is not only only amazing with animals but is very intuitive with dogs. He has watched multiples of our pets. He has been with us through the passing of our senior pets, to helping with a new puppy. He gives medication, walks the pups and was open to watching our dog in diapers. He is always helping dogs through fostering and is an asset to the rescue community. I would highly recommend him for your pet care needs. They will be in good hands and treated like family!

Schedule

I'm home full time currently. I have four dogs of my own that have a set routine and are walked daily. Most dogs that we've cared for in the past assimilate to the pack norms quickly.

Pets

A typical day

I have 4 dogs so I like to integrate any dog I watch into our daily routine. Our back yard is big enough for everyone to run around and get out their energy.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Mario can host up to 2 pets per night
It's important to know everything the owner thinks I should know about their pet aside from the obvious such as general behavior around other dogs as well as humans.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
