Safety, trust & environment

I provide all my pet care in clients' homes and follow each owner's routine and house rules closely. I make sure pets get the attention, playtime, or company they need. I keep clients' homes organized and clean while I am there, and I send photos and updates to show how their pets are doing.

Lifelong Animal Lover and Caretaker

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, cats since I was born, and dogs since I was 11. Growing up with pets has given me lots of experience with animals, as I've been a primary caregiver for my own animals for years. Beyond my own pets, I started walking and caring for others' pets at 15, including overnight stays. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether they want to play, cuddle, or just hang out with someone. I am patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe and happy.

Mara has been great to work with. Very punctual and asks great questions. She understands our shy pooch and give her space.

Mara has done a great job walking and taking care of our dog for the past several years. She clearly loves being around pets and is responsible and trustworthy - very important traits for being a pet caregiver. We highly recommend her!

Mara is a responsible, kind and reliable person, who has been a great dog walker/sitter for our family and dogs. She would be an asset!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
