Pet care experience

Senior's Best Friend

Now a darling little old man, I've been caring for my senior dog, Manu, since he was a puppy. Throughout the past 15 years, I have regularly attended to his needs, which as a young dog included hour-long daily walks and plenty of zoomie time, and now have graduated to include complications such as a heart murmur and luxating patellas. I brush his teeth and make sure he gets his important medications daily; dispensing medicine is a walk in the park for me! I have experience visiting owners' homes to check on their doggos and make sure they have their daily meals, bathroom breaks, and of course, play time! I also have experience with caring for other lovely animal friends, such as bearded dragons, tortoises, fishies, kitties, and hamsters. I love animals with all my heart, and it would be an honor to help you care for yours.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I treat caring for others' pets in their home with the utmost respect and honor, as it is a great privilege and one that I take very seriously. Pets are family, and your home will always be treated as a sacred place that holds your dearest loved ones. Whenever I am entrusted to watch over pet companions in their homes, I make sure to leave everything better than when I found it, and I guarantee that there will be no traces of my presence left; any and all messes or disorder will be thoroughly cleaned and set to rights. Again, it is an honor to be entrusted to watch your family in your home; I will not forget that I am a guest and will treat this duty with all the care it requires!

Dog Walking • Jun 18, 2026

Marisa tried her best to get Nori walking each day. For some reason, Nori doesn’t like to go walk with any dog walker other than my husband. She doesn’t walk with me either😫 Marisa was so patient, and kept at it until she got comfortable enough to walk and follow her lead. We will definitely ask Marisa to help out again.

Marisa is absolutely amazing! Our fur babies always come back happy after being in her care. She takes them on adventurous walks and showers them with lots of affection. You can tell that Marisa genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I don’t have to worry when our fur babies are in her care.

Marisa has taken care of my dog, Ludwig, many times over the years from when he was a puppy to now a senior dog. As Ludwig has aged, he has had medication added to his daily routine. She has managed his care with ease, and Ludwig loves her. She will take care of any pet with the love and attention they deserve.
