Biggest dog lover at your service!

Pet care experience

I have cared for and loved dogs since as long as I can remember. Dogs have always been a part of my life and my family. Growing up with many different breeds of dogs has taught me so much on how to properly care for a dog - from Alaskan Malamutes to Portuguese Water Dogs. We currently have a 6 year old French bulldog that is just about the friendliest thing you'll ever meet and I'm sure our dogs will have a blast together! We have a large backyard and provide daily walks and the best care. Both my fiancé and I work from home so your dog will always be looked after during their visit!

Mara was an amazing sitter! She was sure to send us lots of pictures and updates to keep our minds at ease while she watched our little guy. She gave him lots of love and did a great job administering his ear drops. He came home happy and tired! We highly recommend Mara and her partner.

Mara is amazing as always. Taking Charlie on long walks and snuggling him while we are away.

Vito loves staying with Mara - he is happy and tired every time we pick him up! We so appreciate the pictures we get and the love he gets while we are away.

Information Mara O. would like to know about your pet

I always like to know from the owner what sort of things will make their dog the most comfortable during their stay with me. Anything from sleeping preferences to specific food needs is definitely helpful to know so your dog can have the most enjoyable stay with me in their home away from home.

A typical day

I always cater to a particular dogs needs. If the dog is able to and enjoys long walks, that's what we'll do. Hikes? Awesome! Snuggles on the couch? Always!
