Safety, trust & environment

I would love to do a meet and greet prior to any walks/drop ins, to make sure you and your pet are comfortable with me! For drop ins, I would be very respectful of your home and treat it as my own. For walks, please let me know what you/your dog's boundaries are. I believe communication is key, so it's an open line of dialogue if you have any questions/concerns for me.

Information Marisa B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you dog has any special needs, allergies or behaviors so I can best care for them! Also, if they have any favorite treats or fun quirks :)

A typical day

Walking around the neighborhood, cuddles and kisses, playtime and treats! If okay in the car, Civic Center Park is near me and I've walked many dogs there before :)

Pets

Let's walk! I love all dogs & cats!

Pet care experience

I have been around animals all my life! I grew up with two standard poodles and currently have 3 pets of my own- a fluffy cat and two adorable pitbull mixes :) I'm also part of a dog walking program at my local shelter (CVAC), so comfortable with walking dogs of all sizes and breeds! My current dogs are both over 50lbs and I am the main caretaker/walker.

Marisa is amazing!!!! She takes great care of our pups and her communication is great. We have used her before and have been more than happy every time. I can’t recommend her enough. The dogs love her and so do we!

Marisa was fantastic. Easy to initiate booking and very responsive. Took notes during my requested initial visit and remembered everything. Sent detailed updates and photos. Made it so easy to be away and not worry.
