I love to cuddle with dogs that are up for cuddling and taking dogs walking around Dallas since there is a lot to enjoy and the nature is the best part in my opinion! Definitely can’t forget the dance parties, they look at me weird I know they enjoy it.

Pet care experience

Pretty much grew up pet sitting his own set of dogs and one cat. Currently have a pet snake and love animals. I am detail oriented and animals do love my welcoming chill aura. Dogs probably love me because I like to pet, play and feed them. Cats adore my calming nature.

Mario was a great help to us, and we are very thankful for the care he provided. We are new to the United States and to Dallas, and since we travel frequently, we were hoping to build a trusted relationship with someone who could help care for our dogs when we are away. After the initial meet and greet, we immediately noticed that both of our dogs, a German Shepherd and a Shih Tzu, were very comfortable having Mario around, which gave us a lot of confidence. Mario came to our home at the requested time and made sure to spend time with the dogs, helping them feel comfortable and settled after we left for our trip. Since he works from home, he was available most of the time, which was very reassuring for us. He also kept us updated daily, which we really appreciated. He followed their regular routine, took them for three walks each day, and made sure they were well cared for throughout his stay. When we returned, our dogs were happy, energetic, and clearly comfortable, which meant a lot to us. Mario also kept the room clean and left everything just as we had left it. We would be very happy to have Mario help us again in the future.

Mario is an excellent dog sitter. He was available to book last minute and he took great care of our home and our dog, Roscoe. His communication was very good and he sent frequent feedback and pics. Roscoe absolutely loves him and we knew that he was in good hands for the week. We will be using Mario on a regular basis!

My fur babies absolutely loved their uncle Mario! They were so calm when we came back from our 6 day vacation. Even my shy kitties liked him, and that says a lot. He went out of his way to take care of my baby grandpa and his hyper brother. He is honest reliable, clean with great energy. I would book him again in a heartbeat!🙌🏾✨️ Thank you, again!
