Pet care experience

I’ve always been the go- to sitter for friends and family when they go out of town. I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes, from bloodhounds to yorkies. I have personally owned cats, snakes, spiders, and guinea pigs. I am experienced in giving medication through pill form and subcutaneous injections.

Marisa took excellent care of Wade for us! She sent us lots of pictures and detailed updates so we always knew how he was doing.

I would like to first off start by stating that I went through five different interviews in order to find Marisa!! For the original meet and greet, I was worried as she was one of the last people we were interviewing from the Rover app. She was on time and made no excuses about being tardy, nor having to reschedule ultimately very reliable from the first time we met her after that she did come and do a test run with the drop in visit and did absolutely amazing. For example, my dog ended up urinating in my house and she had seen some Clorox wipes and obviously there was paper towels and other stuff there she could have left the urine on the ground and that would've actually been fine with me because I would've picked it up, but she actually went the extra step as to clean it up and use Clorox wipes and she threw it away!! So from the beginning, I knew she was absolutely amazing Ever since then she has been walking our dog and doing drop in visits. She has done multiple and I will continue to book with her because my dog is a puppy (1.5 years old) still and doesn't know how to control his excitement so to other people he can be scary, but to Marisa she was able to contain him get his behavior traits, lockdown and ultimately be able to already to train him in a certain routine that they have together which he absolutely loves Now that we won't be out of town coming up soon she may not be walking him or doing drop in visits as much but we will definitely be using her on a regular basis. I would 100% recommend for anyone that is needing drop in visits or pet care to hire Marisa because she is absolutely amazing and again my dog is 80 pounds plus being a Staffy mix with American pitbull he is super strong and can be very aggressive towards other dogs and she has been able to keep him under control. Thank you again Marisa for providing the most amazing outstanding care for our baby and loving him just as much as we do I will forever be grateful for finding you. Thank you again!!!

Overall, animals have strengthened her sense of compassion for all living things. Marisa owns a ball python snake, a black cat and a jumping spider. She has unconditional love for these pets and avoids judging any animal based on their breed or appearance. She is inherently an animal lover. I would highly recommend her to take care of my pet as I have witnessed her capabilities with many breeds of cats and dogs!
