Enthusiastic Dog & Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

Please note that the reviews on my profile are a few years old, because I took a break from Rover — I am now ready to book new clients! When I say I LOVE animals, I mean it! For however long you need me, I promise to give your pets as much love and affection as I can provide. Caring for dogs and other animals has been a passion of mine from a young age. My family has owned a variety of pets through the years, including dogs, cats, parrots, and small rodents. I currently own one cat of my own. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all different ages, breeds, and sizes. I enjoy getting to know each of my clients’ unique personalities. I also have experience administering medication (oral and injections), potty training dogs, and completing obedience training with my own pets in the past. Your pet will be in good hands! I will play with and walk your dog as much as I can! I am a very active person and will provide as much energy and playtime as your pup needs. I recently graduated from University of Maryland and am starting medical school later this summer; I am trying to get ahead of my student loans. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! :)

Marisa took great care of our cat while we were away, sending photos of playtime and updates! She was great and we would definitely book with her again!

Marisa was great with our giant schnauzer mix Ernie! She was flexible with times and sent us photos of her and Ernie enjoying the park. We highly recommend her!

This was my first time using Rover and Marisa made it an excellent experience. Marisa watched by 11 year old Golden Retriever for a week while I was on vacation. I highly recommend Marisa for any of your pet sitting needs. She was very communicative, flexible with pickup/drop off time and sent plenty of photo updates.Hopefully I get another opportunity to use Marisa for watching Sophie in the future. A++++

Information Marisa A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any specific triggers that may make them anxious or scared and how you navigate them. Also, please inform me if they have a medication regimen.

A typical day

I enjoy tailoring my activities to each specific pet’s needs. If they are higher energy, then I will take them on a long walk or find a dog park that I can take them to run around. If your pet is a cuddler, I will give them lots of physical affection.
