Pet care experience

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!

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!
