Mara was absolutely awesome! My dogs are kind of anxious and unsure of new people. She was patient and knew just th right things to do and they were kissing and snuggling her in no time!! She sent me pictures and gave me updates throughout the time she was at our home. I will definitely have her back and would recommend her to all of my friends.

Mara has been amazing with my dog; I’ve booked her twice, and she will absolutely be my first contact if I ever need a sitter; she’s kind, punctual, and takes wonderful care of my little girl while I’m away. Nothing but great things to say about Mara and her consideration on the job!

Mara was incredible. She asked and answered lots of questions about my dog. She made sure to send updates and pictures throughout the weekend, and was an extremely considerate house guest. I knew my pup was in good hands the whole time, and I will be using Mara’s services in the future thanks to her care and professionalism. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars!

Mara is absolutely amazing. She is caring to a fault, very professional, responsive and dependable. We left our kitty and pup with her for the weekend where Mara house sat for us, and they were happy, exercised, and loved on. It made our first trip away from our pets easy and stress-free. Thank you for all you do!
