Safety, trust & environment

I am very attentive and instinctive with pets. I listen thoroughly to any concerns or special requirements of each clients pet. I most likely will not be able to host pets in my own house because of my kitten, but if you have an animal that is especially friendly with cats there can be an arrangement made!

Information Marisa C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animal has any special needs or behavioral specialties. I want to assure I am fully equipped for taking care of your baby!

A typical day

I love being outside and going for long walks, I enjoy playing fetch and getting some physical activity in for your dog! If watching cats I love getting their energy out with theirs toys and running around with them!

Pet care experience

‼️Currently not accepting bully breeds with the exception of Boxers. Thank you for understanding‼️ I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. Caring for these animals has been part of my daily routine and for others as well. I grew up with two golden retriever.. Sugar and Cookie who are still with us as well as cats. I have my own kitten named Zoya who is a ball of joy and love. I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with dog walking and cat sitting for the last several years.

I am so glad we found Marisa to watch our 19 year old kitty while we were away for a few days. My cat had never been watched by anyone outside the family, and with his age and medical needs I was nervous about leaving him alone. Upon arriving Marisa sent me a video of him crawling into her lap to cuddle, and I immediately felt so much better! Marisa took excellent care of my boy, made sure he got his medication on time, made sure he was well fed, and provided him with great company. I also really appreciate all the updates Marisa gave us throughout her stay, and that she checked in with us about his separation anxiety. After a long few days of travel we came home to a happy, healthy cat, and a clean apartment. Thank you again, Marisa!

Marisa watched my two cats over Memorial Day weekend- she did an amazing job sending photos and videos and following care instructions. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!

Marisa was amazing with my cat over Memorial Day weekend! She was reliable and made me feel so much better being away. Sent great pictures and took such good care of him. Would definitely book with her again :)

Marisa took care of our pups and home for a little over a week while we were on vacation. We have a young mini dachshund who is inconsistent with her potty-ing and a very senior lab. Marisa was very careful and patient with our pup’s quirks. They always seem so happy and tired when we get back! Our home was also spotless, as we left it. My plants also seemed very well cared for. This our second time working with Marisa and would certainly book with her again
