Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Mara was amazing! We were traveling for a wedding, and our dog who is typically great being left alone was barking in the hotel. We found Mara and asked if she could care for our dog for 6 hours while we were at the wedding. The wedding ending up getting delayed and the transport back was an hour + late, and Mara was understanding, kind, and relaxed. We had a stress free evening, as she sent photos of our dog being fed, walked, going to the bathroom, and resting. She was patient and understanding and kind. We would highly recommend!
Mara took great care of Luca during her afternoon check in!
Mara was the best - communicative and responsible. Made sure our cat was fed and not lonely while we were out!
Mara was great! Very attentive and communicative
Sammy loves Mara, and we know he's on his own vacation when he boars with her! Mara is reliable, and a great dog sitter. She is our first choice for Sammy.
Mara was wonderful, and took great care of our cat Gerome while we were out of town. Very communicative and sent lots of photos.

Schedule
Born and raised in the Menlo Park area, I am navigating post-grad life. I am available to provide your pets with my full attention during my time with them.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am extremely attentive to you and your pet's need. I will abide by whatever instructions you provide for your pet and home's care. I am very comfortable providing dogs with off-leash exercise in regulated areas if you desire, as well as providing lots of on-leash exercise and enrichment. I will closely follow all directions regarding your home. For dogs staying in my home, I live in a one-story home with no stairs. I have a completely fenced-in backyard with grass for dogs to run and play. I live with my mom and we have one dog, Eli. He is a 15 year old Shih Tzu and he sleeps most of the day. Eli is very sweet and friendly with all dogs, but mostly minds his own business in his old age. We are a dog-loving family and have had dogs my entire life.

A typical day
I love to play with your dogs and ensure they are properly stimulated. We will go on walks, play indoor and outdoor games, sniff around the neighborhood, go to off-leash dog parks (if you desire), and make sure they are tuckered out by the end of the day! We will relax and snuggle on the couch while your pet is showered with love!
