Pet care experience

Big animal lover!

I grew up with pets galore, from cats to dogs to gerbils to chinchillas to turtles and fish! I grew up in Utah and just moved to Salt Lake, I’m looking for some furry friends to come on walks with me! I can’t wait to meet them and love them!

I prefer to watch pets in your home, as I’m in an apartment with no yard. Happy to do pop ins to feed them, let them out, and go on walks!

Mara was wonderful with my dogs. She's incredibly sweet and they immediately loved her upon our meet and greet. She sent plenty of pictures and updates and went above and beyond. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again!

Mara has been absolutely amazing with my Husky, Kita. She’s incredibly reliable, communicates clearly, and always sends photos before, during, and after each walk so I know exactly how things are going. Kita genuinely loves her and gets along with her so well. Mara even went above and beyond by cleaning up an accident Kita had one day without me asking. I’m really grateful for the level of care she gives. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog.

Mara is hands down the most reliable, helpful, and genuinely caring Rover sitter we've ever had. She stepped in last minute to watch SkyeBoat and Roxy when we were in a bind, and she absolutely saved us! From the moment we connected, Mara was responsive, thoughtful, and clearly cared about making sure our pups were comfortable and well loved. She kept us updated, gave us complete peace of mind while we were away, and treated SkyeBoat and Roxy like they were her own. It's rare to find someone who is not only dependable but also so incredibly kind and attentive. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs, which says everything about the care they received. If you're looking for someone you can trust completely with your pets, Mara is the one. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Mara, for going above and beyond!

Mara was beyond amazing. She came over for a pre meeting and I knew immediately she would make a great sitter. Everyday she sent me updates about Princeton. She was very accommodating and most importantly felt safe to watch my baby. I’m grateful she was so diligent and warm towards my dog while I was away. I will absolutely be requesting her services in the future.

Before watching a pet, I like to know about their personality, routine, energy level, and any special needs so I can give them the best care possible. It’s especially helpful to know about feeding schedules, medications, allergies, favorite activities, potty routines, and how they interact with other people or animals. I also appreciate knowing any triggers or behaviors to watch for so your pet can feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
