Pet care experience

Pets are pawsitively pawsome!

I grew up with a dog and a cat. As an adult I have raised guinea pigs and adopted 2 rescue dogs and 2 rescue cats. Both of my dogs lived to 15 and I just recently said goodbye to my second dog. My 2 cats have very different personalities. My most recent one was abandoned and very shy. It took about a month of gentle coaxing to get her to come out of hiding and now she is such a big part of our household. Mango, a Pomchi puppy, has just joined our family and we love her to pieces!

Marisa was took great care of our 3 somewhat complicated cats. We felt confident they were in good hands while we were away.

Leaving our dog Harper is never easy, but this experience made it completely stress-free. From the very beginning, it was clear how caring, reliable, and attentive Marisa was. She went above and beyond to make sure Harper felt safe, happy, and loved, treating her like one of her own. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious Harper was having a wonderful time, and I could truly relax knowing she was in such capable hands. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. Marisa’s kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member. Thank you for making what is usually a difficult goodbye such an easy and reassuring experience—I will absolutely be booking with you again!

Marisa was so wonderful! She and her husband took such great care of Reuben while we were away for the weekend. She responded quickly to my messages, provided pictures of Reuben settling in and quickly discovered all the things he loves. It was so nice not to be worried about him while we were away because we could see he was being so well cared for. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you, Marisa!

I'm available days, evenings and weekends. My husband sometimes works from home and so is around during the day most of the time. We love walks on trails and the city waterfront.
