Mara was amazing! Had a last minute booking for my older cat and 2 very young kittens and she made me feel super comfortable with leaving them. She sent so many pictures and updates. Will be booking Mara again!

Dog Walking • mai 16, 2026

Mara was wonderful in walking my big gentle giant Great Pyranee (Cooper). A few weeks ago I needed someone quickly to fill in to walk him, and she replied quickly to meet and greet walking him a day later. I would strongly recommend her to anyone.

Mara really exceeded expectations. One of my cats is very shy and takes a while to warm up to people Mara had her curled up in her lap in no time. Was very relieved knowing she was at our place taking of our two cats.

Mara was great with our pets and provided frequent communication throughout our trip which put our minds at ease. We will definitely use her again in the future!

Mara was amazing! She took great care of our cat while we were traveling. She was super communicative, very friendly, and took the best pictures I’ve ever seen! Could tell from the pics that Astrid really liked her! Will definitely be hiring for future trips.

Mara is outstanding. She gives our dog so much love and attention, lots of walks and cuddles and even gave him a bath when he had too much fun outside. We also love all the cute pics she sends. Highly recommend!
