About Jess and Mario

Hi there! We’re Jess and Mario, passionate pet lovers from Washington DC, now living in Greytown, New Zealand. Since 2018, we’ve been dedicated to pet sitting and walking, both in the US and now here on our spacious, fenced property with plenty of outdoor space. We treat pets like family because, to us, they truly are. Whether it’s a young pup or a senior dog with special needs, we’ll make sure your pets are well cared for and feel right at home.

After bringing our own dog, Freyja Marie, all the way from the US, we know how crucial it is to have a reliable caregiver in NZ that will provide a home for your pet. We’re committed to making your pets feel loved and happy while you’re away, with daily pack walks and group feeding times. For everyone’s safety, we do require vaccinations and can’t wait to give your furry family members the attention they deserve.

Doggy Day Care
Iain, 2024-09-06

As always, our dog was delighted to be dropped off with Jess & Mario. We saw from the photos throughout the day that she had a great time and was well taken care off.

Many thanks to Jess & Mario for doing a great job.

Thanks so much for looking after Ajax and for sharing the videos and photos! He was very settled with Jess and Mario with all the comforts of home. Will absolutely be using Jess and Mario again.
