Safety, trust & environment

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!

Information Mara H. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

I love making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away! Depending on each pet’s personality and energy level, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch or tug-of-war, practicing simple tricks with treats, and giving lots of attention and cuddles. For more relaxed pets, I’m happy to spend quiet time with them, provide companionship, and keep their routine consistent. I also love sending photo updates so owners can see their pets having fun and feeling cared for!

Pet care experience

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!

Mara was amazing! My cat is a bit shy but warmed up to her so quickly! Would 10000% recommend her to anyone! Lots of photos and videos were sent my way which was so sweet!

Mara went above and beyond to consistently provide my senior dog with love and companionship, food, medication, walks, and playing in the grass. She clearly adores Bella, and this shows in her dedication and skill. I had a superb experience with Mara.

Mara is the best! She gives lots of updates and pictures! She was so great with our senior dog and took really good care of him! Very happy we found her. We will definitely use her again!

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!

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.
