Pet care experience

Lifelong Dog Lover & Sitter

Hi! My name is Mara, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and your home while you’re away. I have grown up with multiple dogs and have always loved being around animals. Over the years, I have also provided dog sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family members, caring for pets in their own homes, following their routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience providing more specialized care, including administering IV medication for an elderly animal I was watching. This experience taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention to detail, and following care instructions carefully. My background working in childcare, summer camps, and other safety-focused roles has helped me become dependable, organized, and attentive. I will treat your pets like they are my own and your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

I would highly recommend Mara to care for your dog. I have known Mara for many years and she is a wonderful person. She has a big heart and strong work ethic. Plus, she loves dogs. When I had a dog, she would regularly dog sit for me when I was out of town and she would walk him and care for him when I couldn't. She has a deep love of pets, especially dogs, and has been looking after them her whole life. Throughout High School and College, she would frequently dog sit for neighbors and family friends. Beyond her experience with caring for dogs, employers often rave about her sense of responsibility and determination. She is a problem solver, clear communicator, fast learner and does it all with a smile on her face. Overall, she is a hard and reliable worker, who cares deeply for dogs, making her a great fit for all of your needs.

I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. It is helpful to know their feeding schedule, favorite activities, exercise needs, personality traits, comfort items, medications, and anything that helps them feel safe and happy. My goal is to make their time away from you as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
