House Sitting in La Joya

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give Mara ten stars, I wouldn’t hesitate. Mara spent an entire in-home week, here. We, my family, have not gone on a vacation in years. We live in the country with 4 dogs, 4 parrots, a group of parrotlets, an old german owl pigeon named Hootie, 2 Sulcata tortoises, 3 aquariums, 1 Honey bunny, & a small flock of free range bantam chickens. I explained all of this to Mara prior to our meet and greet & gave her every opportunity to “run for the hills,” so to speak. To my surprise, she wanted to meet with me. Mara was more than willing to put in the extended period of time needed for our meet and greet. She welcomed the learning experience & embraced the challenges of what it takes to care for our multi species family. I was particularly concerned in regards to our parrots (Eclectus, African Grey, Dusky Pionus & Blue Crown Conure). I was worried Mara would find them intimidating. I was worried about her level of confidence, handling them & meeting their emotional needs in our absence. I had nothing to worry about. Mara asked tons of questions, and I watched her interact with them. With her positive energy, they accepted her almost immediately. And, with all of the feeding, I did my part to help set her up for success. Our dogs absolutely adored her & Mara adored them. She let them sleep with her like we do! She spent time with all of our companions. Throughout the week, she sent pictures that reassured me it was ok to have fun void of home worries. Mara has such a great disposition & attitude. She’s so positive and upbeat. Because of her, I DID enjoy a week off. She did such a great job for all of our companions. And, she kept up with the house & kept it clean. I cant imagine ever hiring anyone else to care for our large crew. I would highly, highly recommend Mara to anyone. She takes pride in her work & in the happiness and wellbeing of those left in her care. I am grateful beyond words. Thank you so so much for all of your above and beyond Mara!”

“Erika did a great job both house and pet sitting. She was very good with all of our furry and feathered “kids”, and very communicative the entire time. It was nice to feel at ease while on vacation. She also left the house very clean on our return, which was much appreciated.Highly recommend!”

“Lauren was a delight! She watched our 2 dogs and 1 cat for 2 weeks while we were away! She took care of all our animals very well ell and sent many pictures each day. She was accommodating to the doggies routine and even extended watching the animals on short notice when our flight home got delayed. Will definitely reach out when we need pet sitting again.”

“Kat did a terrific job watching our dog and cat while we went out of town for a week! We got lots of cute pictures and updates and came home to happy pets and a clean house. We will definitely be booking Kat again in the future.”
