Pet care experience

Reliable Walks & Drop-Ins

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.

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.

Marisa is the greatest! She took wonderful care of our three animals (two cats and a dog) while we were out of town and kept an eye on our home. She is conscientious, friendly, and communication was perfect. Our animals absolutely loved her, and our normally water-hating dog even went out in the rain with her for a walk! She even picked up mail and let us know about minor issues with the house and trash can while we were away. As long as Marisa is available, we will continue to book with her. Thank you!!!

Schedule

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.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Marisa can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
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.
