About Mario

Experience: 10 yrs

Know that I am semi retired and have a BS in Biochem & Nutrition from Va Tech, a MS Degree in Pharmacology from VCU and a Doctor of Vet Med from Va Tech. When considering my animal care skills, I am a licensed veterinarian who retired from biomedical research after my 24 year career at VCU. I travel a bit for the work that I do for my Church but I live in Chester. I'm semi-retired and looking for some interesting side jobs with maximum flexibility to make a little extra money for travel and personal projects. I can provide high-quality care for your animals and I offer professional pet walking, day care, and medication administration for everything from dogs and cats to exotic pets and farm animals. I am punctual, responsible, and I find true joy in celebrating caring for a pets unique personalities while trying to offer peace of mind. I look forward to meeting your furry, feathered, or scaled friends.
