Pet care experience
I love taking care of furry friends part-time! In the past this has mostly been in the form of fostering, both dogs and cats. I am not ready for the responsibilities of full-time dog ownership (mostly since I live alone), but shorter commitments are doable and very fun for me. I love going on long walks so if your pup needs and appreciates good exercise, I'll be a good fit. And of course, if your smaller doggy is better suited to shorter excursions, I will happily accommodate. Weekends/long weekends are ideal to maximize available time for play, but weekdays are also very feasible. I am a nonprofit accountant by day and live close to my job so I can come home over lunch if/as needed for potty breaks. In all areas of my life am known for being responsible, reliable and easy to get along with. Hope to meet you - I will take good care of your dog!
Reviews
Trace did great with Mara! I felt comfortable knowing that he was safe while I was away and I would definitely use Mara's services again.
This is a very belated review, sorry! I can't thank Mara enough for taking such great care of my dog, Nova while I was on vacation. I was able to enjoy my vacation with great peace of mind knowing Nova was in excellent care. Thank you!!
Mara was great! Super friendly and accommodating. She shared a photo of our dog midway through the stay with a progress report. Everything went great!
My pooches will definitely be seeing Mara again! She did a first class job and they were healthy and happy when we picked them up after their week long vacation.

Information Mara H. would like to know about your pet
No breed preference. I would like to know their typical behavior and comfortability with other dogs so I know what to expect before walking in the neighborhood. Also just in general the best ways you know how to make them comfortable in a new space. Some dogs like attention right away and others are more shy and need space. I want to respect their temperament and do what I can to reduce any anxieties they have.
A typical day
I live in Longfellow area of Minneapolis so walks along W River Parkway or to Minnehaha Falls and/or dog park are likely. Also playing in my backyard. And of course, relaxing on my futon with pets and snuggles.
