Med student who loves pets

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting for families since high school. My friends' parents entrusted me with taking care of their pets and houses, only to be surprised at how clean their house was when they came back. Their animals are also very bonded to me and I like to keep them company. I still pet sit for them whenever they need me to. I have worked with dogs, cats, fish, and even bunnies. I have also worked with a range of pets, some being more difficult to work with, but I have enjoyed all my experiences nonetheless. I hope I can make new connections with your pets, and care for them the same way!

Safety, trust & environment

I have had a dog since I was 8 and trained her as a kid. My whole family has grown very attached to our yellow Labrador, Petunia, and we give her nothing but the best. My mom did research on the best brand of food for dogs, and settled on Royal Canin. We love this brand because it specializes each dog breed. Labradors tend to not chew their food, so they designed a larger kibble to teach them to chew, and Petunia learned to chew her food because of it! Before we got her, my mom got me a book on Labrador Retrievers and we all educated ourselves on how to care for one. Petunia has grown up to be quite the diva, and I don't know what I would do without her. She is the friendliest and most-loved dog to all my family and friends, and to anyone else she touches. The same love and care I have shown towards my dog, I show for the pets I care for. I listen carefully to instructions and follow them thoroughly. I know how high maintenance animals can be, but I honestly enjoy it! Petunia even has dog allergies and we have to take special care of her paws. Overall, I understand how important it is to keep our pets in their routines, and I look forward to caring for and connecting with more. As Petunia ages to become a senior dog, my family and I never stopped taking care of her. We tried to make her as comfortable as possible while she was in hospice. Now she is running on the rainbow hill, happily enjoying her sweet life. I am so glad to have known her presence and grown with such a sweet soul in my life.

Information Marisa P. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any restrictions or medications they need, it is important for me to know so that I can keep them the healthiest possible. I also like to know a little bit of background about your pet and their personality quirks. I always enjoy a good story of how silly pets can be, and it helps me get to know them!

A typical day

I enjoy playing with dogs. Whether it be fetch, tug of war, or simply running around, I am ready to take on the energy of any dog. I enjoy taking dogs to the park for walks, especially dog parks! My favorite thing to do with my friends is play with their cats. I love spending time around cats.

I am in med school currently, but I will work around my schedule to accommodate clients best I can. I will be able to drop in to feed your pets, take them out, play with them, and spend some time with them in general.
