Safety, trust & environment

I strive to make your pets as comfortable as possible as I know separation anxiety can cause significant behavioral changes. I will care for your pet like they are my own and am happy to follow their normal everyday routines. I am experienced with most prescription medicines for cats and dogs, so I can handle that if needed.

Information Mara P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any pre-existing medical conditions that I should be aware of. Also feel free to let me know of any quirks your pet has so I can be prepared prior to caring for them.

A typical day

I am happy to play with your pets and surround them with safe, assuring energy. Let me know about their favorite toys, activities, or niche walking patterns and I will make sure to incorporate them into my routine with them!

Pet care experience

I have lived on a horse farm my whole life and have always had cats and dogs in the household. In addition, I have quality experience working with domestic pets of all sizes at a Veterinary hospital for the past 4 years. To further my love and passion for animals, I am currently in the process of earning a masters degree in animal science! I have always strived to be a responsible and reliable pet care taker.

Mara was wonderful with our kitties, including special feeding for a difficult eater and medicating another that insisted on being under the bed. I would not hesitate to have her care for our pets again in the future.

Mara took wonderful care of our cat! We got photos of him eating and getting some much needed attention while we were gone.

As always Mara was wonderful watching my kitties! Attentive, caring, punctual, and communicative. I will always recommend her!

Great communication. Had a meet and greet prior to needing Mara to come over and watch the dogs. Everything went well and would recommend.
