“Erika is an amazing sitter who always takes the best care of all our animals and home! She has watched our dogs and cat multiples times and we will definitely reach out to have her watch our animals again the next time we go out of town.”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give Mara ten stars, I wouldn’t hesitate. Mara spent an entire in-home week, here. We, my family, have not gone on a vacation in years. We live in the country with 4 dogs, 4 parrots, a group of parrotlets, an old german owl pigeon named Hootie, 2 Sulcata tortoises, 3 aquariums, 1 Honey bunny, & a small flock of free range bantam chickens. I explained all of this to Mara prior to our meet and greet & gave her every opportunity to “run for the hills,” so to speak. To my surprise, she wanted to meet with me. Mara was more than willing to put in the extended period of time needed for our meet and greet. She welcomed the learning experience & embraced the challenges of what it takes to care for our multi species family. I was particularly concerned in regards to our parrots (Eclectus, African Grey, Dusky Pionus & Blue Crown Conure). I was worried Mara would find them intimidating. I was worried about her level of confidence, handling them & meeting their emotional needs in our absence. I had nothing to worry about. Mara asked tons of questions, and I watched her interact with them. With her positive energy, they accepted her almost immediately. And, with all of the feeding, I did my part to help set her up for success. Our dogs absolutely adored her & Mara adored them. She let them sleep with her like we do! She spent time with all of our companions. Throughout the week, she sent pictures that reassured me it was ok to have fun void of home worries. Mara has such a great disposition & attitude. She’s so positive and upbeat. Because of her, I DID enjoy a week off. She did such a great job for all of our companions. And, she kept up with the house & kept it clean. I cant imagine ever hiring anyone else to care for our large crew. I would highly, highly recommend Mara to anyone. She takes pride in her work & in the happiness and wellbeing of those left in her care. I am grateful beyond words. Thank you so so much for all of your above and beyond Mara!”


About: Taking care of my dog for 12 yrs. Professional experience includes having worked at Petcoral Veterinary Hospital and Resort doing boarding and sitting in daycare along with helping veterinarians administer meds & etc. Senior care, med admin, nail trimming and bathing, caring for 30 plus dogs at once. Pet care fits into my daily routine because i'm working on various projects at home so i prefer not to be employed full time. I enjoy the freedom of working odd jobs and the enjoyment of meeting new pets/people. I'm happy to do whatever you need me to for your pet/s and make sure all their needs are met. I live in a van so i don't care for pets in my home but i'm happy to take them on walks and care for them in your home. I work for the elderly often and i like to travel so pet care fits into my routine perfectly. Pet care is one of my favorite things to do. I care for pets by making sure they're fulfilled physically and mentally. Whether its petting them as much as they want or playing with them, i wanna become one of their favorite humans to spend time with.

“Jenelle is amazing! They are so sweet and gentle with animals. They currently live with a myriad of pets and they take care of each and every one of them so well and thoughtfully. They are full of love, patience, and understanding for animals. Anyone who hires Jenelle is in good hands and would not have to worry about a thing!”
