Highlights
Pet care experience
Loved Like Family, Always
Over 50 Years of Devoted Pet Care With more than five decades of hands-on experience, I have spent my life surrounded by animals—and wouldn’t have it any other way. From dogs and cats to horses, rabbits, and even rescues, caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I have never lived a day without a pet by my side, and animals naturally trust me in a way that feels almost magical. Whether I am gently nursing a senior dog, chasing down a runaway pup with a worried neighbor, or caring for someone’s beloved cat like it’s my own, I bring patience, love, and a deep understanding of animal needs to everything I do. Pet sitting with me isn’t just reliable—it’s personal, heartfelt care from someone who truly connects with animals. If your pets could talk, they’d tell you they can’t wait for me to come back.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own—earning their trust with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. I always follow your specific instructions and routines, whether that means meal times, medications, walks, snuggles, or just quiet companionship. I know how important consistency is, and I strive to keep your pets relaxed and cared for in the comfort of their own home. What I Offer: • Drop-in visits (feeding, playtime, potty breaks) • Dog walking • Overnight stays • Medication administration • Lots of love and attention I also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know your pet is safe and happy. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your animals in someone else’s care—I don’t take that lightly.
Ratings and reviews
Mara is an amazing dog sitter!! The house was kept especially clean, kept in touch with pic and video updates. Would 100% recommend her.
Mara did a great job taking care of our home and animals! I definitely would like to use her again.
I hate the thought of leaving my pup with a stranger but from the minute Mara walked into our home, she didn’t seem like a stranger. Brew instantly took to her and she took such good care of him (even though he’s a bit high maintenance). She sent photos and a video which always put your mind at ease. We will definitely be using Mara again!
Mara was wonderful with our Goldendoodle. She was very kind and energetic and matched our dogs enthusiasm for play. We could tell right away her love and care for our pet was just like her own.
