Pet care experience

Your dog? No no no. OUR dog. :)

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by. I'm a goofy guy currently home full time, and aspiring to start up my own animal sanctuary, so you can rest assured pup will have as much of my love and attention as they desire. I'm a lover of all dogs, big, small, slobbery, and high energy. One of my favorite things about taking care of dogs has been experiencing the trust building with each puppy, everyday, during their stay with me. Seeing their tails wag that little extra when their name is called, watching them get the zoomies in the backyard, and even them just leaning their body against you while you're watching TV so they can be that little bit closer to you. It's the best. I enjoy dog training, and can do some command refreshers as a small add-on. I work out and run often so you know your dog is going to get some great exercise with me. I hope I can help you out and take care of your pups sometime! I'll see y'all soon :)

Mario is absolutely the best! We will be using him from here on out. My dogs were well taken care of and had a great time!

First time working with Mario. Our Husky/wolf dog is a little needy, he absolutely spoiled her rotten, kept her engaged and she came home so happy. She needed that interaction as much as we needed a sitter for a few days. We are considering having him sit her 1-2x a month just to get her out of the house and engaged with other activities. We absolutely will book with Mario again!

Mario is AMAZING! We highly recommend him. Knowing this was our first time using a sitter, he provided us with pictures and videos immediately, which helped set our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation. Not one day passed that we didn't receive pictures and an update. Mario is now our "go to" guy.

Mario was absolutely amazing with my dog Minnie! While out of town Mario eased my fears about leaving her and she was having a blast. I will definitely be asking Mario to watch Minnie again, he was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly so loving towards her. I am so thankful for his help, he is the best! If anyone is weary about leaving your dog, Mario will keep you at ease. 10/10 recommend!

Mario is an excellent pet sitter. He was welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure our pup was comfortable and cared for. Would book him every single time.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large back yard that's fully enclosed with tall wooden fences. The grass is well maintained and has plenty of space for several dogs to run around freely and play. I have pet gates throughout the house to create separate areas for any dogs that would like their own space as they get used to sharing space with others pups. There is minimal furniture, so dogs won't have issues running into anything. I also have crates available to keep the dogs safe if I need to leave the house to run an errand or two. The crates are lined with comfy K9 Ballistics beds.

A typical day

I love to take dogs for long and slow walks so they can sniff everything around the neighborhood. I'm working on getting puzzle toys so they can be mentally stimulated as well as physically during their stay!
