Pet care experience

Dedicated to your Furry Friend

As a lifelong dog owner, I have extensive experience caring for large dogs and handling a wide variety of temperaments and energy levels. I previously ran my own pet sitting and dog walking business, where I cared for pets while owners were away and provided reliable daily walks and attention. As a pre-veterinary student, I also have a strong background in animal handling, behavior, and overall pet care. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs, and I always prioritize safety, patience, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet while following the routines set by their owners. With my background as a pre-veterinary student and experience caring for dogs of various sizes and personalities, I make it a priority to keep pets active, comfortable, and happy while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care.

Marisa was quick to reply and very helpful with my first time using Rover. She was great with my pup and kept her safe and happy!

I cannot recommend Marisa’s dog walking business highly enough. Her love for animals is genuine, and it shows in every interaction she has with the dogs in her care. She is dependable, responsible, attentive, and treats every animal as if they were her own. Whether it’s a quick walk, extra playtime, or making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away, she goes above and beyond. Any pet owner would be incredibly lucky to have someone with her level of compassion, trustworthiness, and dedication caring for their furry family members. She doesn’t just walk dogs—she builds relationships with them, and it’s truly special to see.

I can’t recommend Marisa enough! She is reliable, professional, and clearly cares so much about the dogs she works with. My dog gets so excited every time she arrives, and I always feel comfortable knowing my pup is in great hands. She provides updates, is always on time, and goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief to have someone trustworthy and genuinely kind looking after my pet. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker!

Schedule

I have a very flexible schedule over the summer, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. As a college student, I can easily adjust my routine to fit owners’ schedules and make sure pets get the time, attention, and care they need throughout the day.

It is helpful to know a pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs ahead of time so I can make them as comfortable as possible. It’s also helpful to know if a dog is reactive on walks around other dogs, people, or certain situations so I can handle them safely and avoid unnecessary stress.
