This by far has been the absolute worst experience for me and my dog. My poor dog was in a room all day tied up. He could have gotten hospitalized, extremely ill or even died. I gave Rosario clear instructions on how to feed my dog and told him to keep his pre packaged pre portioned RAW beef/dog food in the freezer and the raw eggs in the fridge. Well he mixed everything like I told him and my dog didn’t eat about half his food, which tells me he is not getting enough exercise and isn’t hungry. Anyway, he left the RAW dog food overnight outside on his bowl and expected him to eat the left overs 24 hours later because he didn’t want to throw it away. What!!!??? Raw eggs and raw beef overnight in the hot summer August month??!!! That’s a breeding ground for bacteria. My dog could have gotten extremely sick and been hospitalized or died. That’s disgusting. I can’t believe he would put my dog at risk like that. I had to lie to him and send my sister on a rescue mission because I thought he was going to hurt my dog. My sister found my dog tied up and scared and his frozen food not frozen at all. He didn’t follow my instructions. He also lied about playing with my dog because the photo that he sent my dog was scared. Not a dog who is panting and tired. Not a dog who “just” got done playing. If you love your dog don’t leave him with Rosario. My dog came back fearful and not the same cheerie dog he usually is. I don’t know what trauma he was subjected to but Rosario is not to be trusted. He probably goes on a 10 second walk, takes a photo, then goes back to tying back the dogs. He claims he has a back yard yet doesn’t allow anyone to see it. He’s super secretive about his house, probably has bad things hiding. I don’t know, I should have gone with my gut I stict telling me my dog wasn’t safe. I still can’t get over him leaving the raw food outside mixed with kibble for him to eat the next day. I’m just happy my dog is alive. He’s is NOT to be trusted!!!

Rosario did great a great job taking care of Sky! He responded in a timely manner to my texts , and Sky was in good spirits when I picked her up at his home . I would utilize his services again next time I need a sitter for Sky.
