Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Pet Caregiver
I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, having grown up with a family dog and owning cats since early adulthood. I have provided pet sitting services for family and friends, including caring for animals with disabilities and those requiring medication. I am currently a veterinary technician student and work as a veterinary receptionist, giving me hands-on experience in animal handling and care.
Cat care experience
Mara also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
During boarding or drop-in visits, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine as much as possible. For drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and playtime. I’m also happy to administer medications if needed and will always keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit. For in-home pet sitting or boarding, I create a calm, structured environment with regular feeding times, exercise, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to behavior and health, and with my veterinary clinic experience, I’m comfortable recognizing any changes that may need attention. I’ll follow all your care instructions closely—whether that’s special diets, medications, crate routines, or favorite activities—so your pet feels as relaxed and cared for as possible while you’re away.

Thank you, Mara is great ❣️
Mara was fabulous with Wags. She paid close attention to what he needed and how he was doing. Communication with her was easy from booking through the visit. Will definitely use her again.
Mara is absolutely wonderful! She is friendly, professional, and incredibly organized from the very beginning. Mara made scheduling easy and always communicated clearly and promptly, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her experience in a veterinary setting really shows she’s knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely cares about the well-being of the animals she works with. We feel completely comfortable trusting her with our pets, knowing she would notice even the smallest changes and handle anything with care and confidence. Mara has went above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly, and her warm, welcoming personality made the whole experience even better. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care.

Schedule
I work full-time at a veterinary clinic in Chapel Hill, so I have hands-on experience caring for pets and keeping them happy and healthy. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on weekends starting Friday at 6 PM. For clients in the Chapel Hill area, I may also be available for weekday drop-ins depending on my work schedule.
