Pet care experience

Veterinarian wants to work for you!

# About Me Hi! I'm Marisa, a veterinarian with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (VMD) degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals has been both my profession and my passion for many years. My experience includes working in general and shelter medicine, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, providing medications, monitoring pets with medical conditions, and recognizing subtle signs of illness or discomfort. I also worked as a veterinarian for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, where I helped care for guide dogs throughout their training and working careers. Outside of my professional experience, I've raised a guide dog puppy, volunteered with therapy dogs, and have shared my home with dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have one senior Labrador Retriever and four cats, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a playful cat, a senior companion, or one who requires medications or a little extra patience, I will care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I provide reliable communication, detailed updates, and plenty of photos throughout each visit or stay so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing the compassionate, knowledgeable care they deserve!

Safety, trust & environment

I strive to keep each pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while they're in their own home. I'll follow your feeding, walking, medication, and exercise instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean environment. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for until you return.

Schedule

Over the past few months, I've been focusing on personal growth while also helping care for my aging parents. This has given me a very flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I can be reliable, accommodating, and attentive to each pet's individual routine and needs.
