⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give Mara ten stars, I wouldn’t hesitate. Mara spent an entire in-home week, here. We, my family, have not gone on a vacation in years. We live in the country with 4 dogs, 4 parrots, a group of parrotlets, an old german owl pigeon named Hootie, 2 Sulcata tortoises, 3 aquariums, 1 Honey bunny, & a small flock of free range bantam chickens. I explained all of this to Mara prior to our meet and greet & gave her every opportunity to “run for the hills,” so to speak. To my surprise, she wanted to meet with me. Mara was more than willing to put in the extended period of time needed for our meet and greet. She welcomed the learning experience & embraced the challenges of what it takes to care for our multi species family. I was particularly concerned in regards to our parrots (Eclectus, African Grey, Dusky Pionus & Blue Crown Conure). I was worried Mara would find them intimidating. I was worried about her level of confidence, handling them & meeting their emotional needs in our absence. I had nothing to worry about. Mara asked tons of questions, and I watched her interact with them. With her positive energy, they accepted her almost immediately. And, with all of the feeding, I did my part to help set her up for success. Our dogs absolutely adored her & Mara adored them. She let them sleep with her like we do! She spent time with all of our companions. Throughout the week, she sent pictures that reassured me it was ok to have fun void of home worries. Mara has such a great disposition & attitude. She’s so positive and upbeat. Because of her, I DID enjoy a week off. She did such a great job for all of our companions. And, she kept up with the house & kept it clean. I cant imagine ever hiring anyone else to care for our large crew. I would highly, highly recommend Mara to anyone. She takes pride in her work & in the happiness and wellbeing of those left in her care. I am grateful beyond words. Thank you so so much for all of your above and beyond Mara!

Reliable and loves your fur babies like her own. Highly recommend

Mara did a great job checking in on our fur babies, we will definitely be using her again in the future!

I've known Mara for many years and I don't recall seeing someone that gives as much time, attention, and affection animals as what she does. No matter whose pet she is attending to, she regards the mas if they were her own, and always goes the extra mile for the pet's care and comfort. I would recommend Mara as a pet caregiver to anyone and entrust that their fur-friend was in the most capable, and most trusted of hands.

Mara was amazing with our older dog. He is 13 and has loss of hearing and almost all vision. She handled this amazingly and made us feel at ease while we were traveling. 11/10 will use her services again.

Mara has been watching my dogs & cats for years and always does an amazing job! Did you know she cooks her own dog food? She doesn't just spoil her own pets, she spoils every pet - & I LOVE her for it!
