Your Pet’s care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I love starting my mornings with a walk, which is the ideal time to take your furry baby out, especially before it gets too hot. If I know a pet is coming, I plan my day around their needs—whether it's scheduling walks, giving them their medicine, or just spending quality time together. And if I have to step out, my husband is always here to make sure your pet is cared for.

Information Mara W. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to hear more about your pet and how I can accommodate their unique likes/dislikes. If your furry baby has any special needs, please let me know in advance so I can make sure to accommodate them. I’m here to ensure they’re pampered, loved, and treated like royalty. Thank you for considering me for this precious opportunity! I can’t wait to meet your furry baby and make them feel right at home! ❤ - Mara Wager

A typical day

When I’m caring for your furry friend, the fun never stops! We’ll go on walks, visit the park, and even take trips to pet-friendly spots with your permission. If I have errands, your pup is welcome to tag along—whether it’s grabbing a treat at Starbucks or having a bite at Manhattan Bagel before heading out for a hike or a stroll in the park. Every day is an adventure, and your pet will be right by my side, enjoying the moment! My Philosophy: When your furry baby stays with us, they’re more than a guest—they’re family! My husband and I welcome them with open arms (and plenty of belly rubs!) Whether they want to snuggle on the couch, sleep in our bed, or explore freely they have plenty of secured space to roam. We're easy-going and flexible, catering to any special needs or routines to keep your pet happy and stress-free.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Mara, a loving, caring, and responsible pet sitter with a lifelong passion for dogs. Growing up with my two beloved pups, Bodoque (dad) and Junior (son) both being Maltese-French Poodle mix, I learned how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. I am bilingual (Spanish) and eager to accommodate pets of various ages and mobility. That’s why I’m saving up to become a certified Pet Communicator! Yes, you read that right—speaking with your furry baby to understand their needs and feelings even better. Your trust helps to deepen this connection and make this dream a reality.! Why Choose Me? I genuinely LOVE dogs, all kinds! Whether it’s a walk in the park, playtime, or cozy cuddles on the couch, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each pet has unique needs, whether it’s medication, extra attention, or just some tender loving care. My goal is to make sure your furry baby feels at home, safe, and happy while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind. My husband and I recently lost our beloved Boston Terrier, Meatball, in 2022. He was 16 years old and the heart of our home. Although we miss him dearly, we have so much love to give. Think of us as the cool aunt and uncle who adore spending time with your pets! Beyond pet sitting, I aim to build a deep connection with each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved during their stay.

Mara took amazing care of our Milo for the past 3 days. She has watched him before during the day but he has never boarded with her before. She is so responsible, and caring! She helped us feel comfortable leaving Milo in her hands. She sent frequent updates and pictures of their adventures both in her home and out and about. I highly recommend you share your fur babies with her—for day care or boarding. She will take great care of them.

Yesterday Milo spent his first day with Mara—the beginning of a long happy relationship ( hopefully) ! He was so happy and playful in her home. She was so caring and attentive to him. She sent us lots of updates and pictures about his day, his activity, meal/snacks etc! We are grateful and highly recommend! Milo can’t wait to go back!

Mara is absolutely fantastic! The level of care and attention our pup received was above and beyond what was expected (and we had high expectations based on our meet-and-greet!). You can book with complete confidence.

Mara is amazing! Bailey is a bit of an anxious, needy dog and Mara made him feel welcome and loved. Mara kept us informed throughout our trip. And she’s just a lovely person who loves dogs and it shows! She never blamed our dog for have dog feelings- she really seems to understand pups. We will definitely be using her again!
