Experienced Vet Assistant

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 2 years and have also been trusted by family, friends, neighbors, and other personal clients to help take care of their pets. 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 communicative, reliable, and I enjoyed the pics she sent of her time with my pup at my home while I was away for two days. I’ll definitely ask Mara to dog sit again in the future. Thanks, Mara!

This is the second time I've asked Mara to watch my pets. She was very communicative with me about my shy and reluctant to eat pets. She took time to make sure everyone was well taken care of and all my babies were happy when I arrived home. I would definitely trust Mara to watch my pets again in the future!

Mara was great! I asked her to watch my dog and 4 kittens for the night. She was polite, punctual, and responsive with communication. Would definitely trust her to watch my babies again ??

I wholeheartedly recommend Mara to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals makes her the exceptional choice. I am incredibly grateful for the peace of mind she provided during my absence and the outstanding care she extended to my furry kiddo. I was particularly impressed by the regular updates she provided during my time away. Her thoughtful gestures, such as sending me photos of my dog, not only reassured me but also allowed me to feel connected and involved despite the distance. I was impressed by her punctuality and adherence to our agreed upon schedule. She ensured that my dog's meals, exercise, and medication needs were met. Her ability to maintain the routine and provide a comfortable environment for my dog undoubtedly contributed to Wyatt's well-being and happiness.
