About Mara D.

Safety, trust & environment

While in a client's home I will try to clean up any mess a pet will leave behind and try to make the animal feel as safe as they possibly can. As a cat owner I have enough patience to move mountains when pets act out and will remove them from any situation they feel stressed or fearful in.

Information Mara D. would like to know about your pet

It's important for me to know everything your pet needs in their day to day, like medication, any disabilities or triggers I need to keep an eye out for, and if they have any important commands I should know of - like if they have a command for meal time.

A typical day

I love giving any animal lots of attention and try to find the play style they are most engaged with. Like for my cat Momo, he loves to wait and pounce at toys like a little predator, so I often find myself slowly dragging toys on the ground until he strikes.

Pet care experience

In highschool I earned a certificate course completer in pre-vet, and competed in the statewide Future Farmers of America (FFA) competition. While there I learned how to properly administer oral, otic, ophthalmic, and injected medications. I truly love and care for every animal I meet! I always try to make them as comfortable as possible by recognizing their body language and tending to their needs. I've owned two cats for over 13 years and have owned several other kinds of pets like fish, freshwater snails, and leopard geckos too!

Mara loves animals. She is very kind, compassionate and patient with our highly anxious cats. She is good at knowing when to give them space and when to cuddle. She’s reliable and consistent when keeping them fed and their litter box clean. I trust her to help maintain a clean safe environment for our cats. They love her.
