Highlights
Pet care experience
Love spending time with dogs
Ever since I was little I have loved dogs. Although I have my own dogs that I love so dearly I also love meeting and spending time with new dogs. It is so fun to get to meet new dogs and their personalities!

Safety, trust & environment
While caring for pets in my clients home I will be sure to follow all the rules and schedules that have been given to me. I will make sure that all pets are made to feel cared for to ease the absence of their owners.
Ratings and reviews
Mara is great, she is prompt and friendly and my dog loves her. My dog Maddie gets so excited when Mara arrives.
Mara is simply the best—highly recommended! My husband and I have never trusted anyone outside of family to care for our two senior dogs. One requires medication, and the other is extremely anxious, so finding the right person felt overwhelming. Mara immediately put us at ease. She took the time to meet with me and my dogs before her scheduled visits and was incredibly patient while I learned how to use the app. Not only is she kind and attentive with my pets, but she is also very capable and handled their somewhat complicated care with confidence. She communicated clearly, letting me know when something came up without causing unnecessary worry, and managed every situation thoughtfully—even things I hadn’t anticipated. Mara is responsive, flexible, and truly easy to work with. When I needed to add a service last minute, she responded right away and accommodated my request without hesitation. I can’t say enough good things—she is trustworthy, compassionate, and incredibly reliable. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dogs.
On time and very responsive to reach outs!
Mara is great with Maddie. She loves her walks with Mara.
First two days of walking and Maddie enjoyed Mara.
Mara is absolutely wonderful with dogs of all kinds, from big gentle giants to the smallest pups with big personalities. My Shih Tzu had a tough past—he was abandoned before I adopted him and can be wary of new people. Despite that, Mara earned his trust with patience, gentleness, and consistency. She respected his boundaries while still giving him the care and attention he needed, and over time he’s grown to adore her. Now he lights up when she arrives and trots off happily on his walks. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in safe, compassionate hands. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands dogs and treats them like family, Mara is the one.

Schedule
I’m currently working as a substitute teacher and a hostess so on some days I will be available whenever but other times might be more constricted. As long as I know a bit beforehand I can usually make something work! During the weekends I am basically open despite when I am working at the restaurant.
