Marisa can care for
Availability
Pet care fits into my routine in a consistent, structured way. I offer early mornings, limited midday visits (based on proximity), and evenings, and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I can be on time and fully present for each pet. This works well for clients who need reliable, ongoing weekday support.

About Marisa A.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine and following all care instructions carefully. Safety is a priority—I use secure leashing and entry practices, pay attention to each pet’s behavior, and adjust as needed to keep them safe and calm. I’m respectful of your home and provide clear updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
Information Marisa A. would like to know about your pet
It’s important to know each pet’s feeding schedule, medical needs, medications, allergies, behavior quirks, triggers (like fear of other dogs or loud noises), and emergency vet info. It also helps to know their routine, favorite activities, leash behavior, and any house rules so I can keep them comfortable and consistent with their normal care.
A typical day
I prioritize feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins based on each pet’s routine. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on schedule. For fun, I do walks, fetch, toy play, and outdoor time for dogs, and interactive toys, play sessions, and attention for cats—always based on what they enjoy.

Reliable Walks & Drop-Ins
Pet care experience
Hi! I offer dependable dog walks and drop-in visits with a focus on consistency, safety, and genuine care. I love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I grew up with dogs and have cared for a variety of animals over the years, including cats, birds, and other small pets. Being around animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and temperaments. I also have my own dog, which has reinforced how important patience, structure, and understanding behavior can be. I take a calm, thoughtful approach and always aim to make pets feel comfortable and cared for during each visit. With my background in healthcare, I’m very detail-oriented, reliable, and respectful of routines. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific instructions, I make sure everything is followed closely.

Reviews
Marisa was great! She sent cute pics of my little cutie 🐈⬛ and had great communication before and after the drop in.
Marisa is great. She was on time and followed our instructions. Thanks Marisa!
We couldn’t be happier with Marisa! From the very first meeting, she was warm, patient, and genuinely attentive to Zeke’s needs. It’s clear she has a real love for animals — she took the time to understand Zeke’s quirks and comfort level, and never rushed the process. What sets Marisa apart is how trustworthy and reliable she is. We always feel completely at ease knowing Zeke is in her care. She communicates consistently, shows up when she says she will, and goes above and beyond to make sure Zeke is happy and well looked after. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, look no further than Marisa. Highly recommend — 10/10!
I can’t recommend Marisa highly enough as a dog walker. She has a natural connection with animals and has always had dogs in her life, so she truly understands their needs, personalities, and energy levels. She genuinely loves being outside and gets so much joy from spending time walking and meeting dogs in the community. She is incredibly trustworthy, punctual, and reliable—someone you can absolutely count on. I’ve trusted her many times to care for both my pets and my children, which says everything about the level of responsibility and care she brings. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own and ensure they’re happy, safe, and well-exercised, she’s the perfect choice.
