Dog Handler at Local Animal Shelter
Pet care experience
Hello Fellow Dog Lovers! I am an experienced dog walker, as I’ve been volunteering at a local animal shelter in Beacon since 2019. For two years now, I walk, play, train, feed, and give medicine to various dog breeds, sizes, and personalities. They all fill me with such joy! A trainer regular visits the shelter and has provided good guidance on how to train dogs and positively reinforce those behaviors we love. Presently, I have a lot of flexibility on the weekends and weekday evenings. In the summer, I will be available almost any day/time. I LOVE to be outside, ensuring your precious fur baby gets the exercise and enrichment they deserve! In terms of COVID-19, I am very cautious in my social distancing habits and will communicate effectively with you to ensure that we all remain safe during these crazy times. I will also been fully vaccinated in a few weeks!! So yay - brighter days ahead! I look forward to fun times with your beloved pet!
Reviews
Marisa was great with our guy! Always sent pics and updates on his walks. Very knowledgeable about dogs and their individual behavior. Would hire again!
Marisa is exceptional at taking care of dogs. She volunteers at a rescue shelter which has given her experience with dogs of many sizes and differing personalities and she is great with my 2 dogs whenever they need a dog sitter.
I've volunteered at the Animal Rescue Foundation Inc. with Marisa for 2 years and couldn't say enough good things about her! She loves every dog that she works with and treats every one with the same level of care and attention. Throughout the two years we've volunteered together, I've seen Marisa successfully handle all different types of dogs, from 80 lbs. rambunctious dogs to a litter of 11 puppies. Her calm demeanor and mindful time that she gives each dog leaves them feeling comfortable and makes her all the better at working with them. She is diligent, responsible, and attentive, ensuring each detail and task is completed properly and done well. I'm confident that Marisa will continue to successfully handle any dog that she works with and any pet owner will be lucky to have someone so passionate about animals to work with their furry friend!
Marisa is the most responsible and dog loving person I know! She is extremely respectful and diligent. I can't think of a better person to look after a dog!

Information Marisa G. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know things that may “trigger” your dog to become potentially more alert, cautious, anxious, or even aggressive. In contrast, what are some of your dogs LOVES? What are special treats, activities, places for your pup? I want to ensure that our experience together is as positive for your dog as it is for me!
