Hi! I am Mara (pronounced like Sarah) and I am a graduate student here in San Diego. Growing up with both cats and dogs, I am very comfortable with animals and miss my own dearly. There is nothing more rewarding than caring for an animal. Starting from a young age, I fed, walked, bathed, and cared for both my own and neighbors' furry friends. I have worked with dogs both small and large, from yorkies to chow chows, and of all temperaments. Dog walking- since I was small as a child, I learned how to handle even the most excitable dogs on walks. I have also learned how relaxing and rewarding the process can be. House sitting- I have proven myself to be a trustworthy sitter through years of experience starting at the age of ten. I look forward to meeting your furry friend!
