Hi there! My name is Marisa and I'm I have loved all animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up I had everything from fish and frogs to hamsters and ferrets, but dogs have always had a special place in my heart. To me, they are more than just pets, but lifelong family members and friends; And I promise to care for each and every one as if he / she were my own! I am blessed with the ability to connect with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and--whether it be for last minute walks/care or routine visits--I am confident I can provide them with all the love and attention that they require. ***Unfortunately I cannot board dogs in my apartment at the moment, ONLY house sitting in your home, drop in visits, day care/check ins, and walking*** - I am an active person who loves the outdoors, and I would be more than happy to take your dog(s) on extra long walks or runs if you'd like (in rain or shine!) - Although I enjoy lounging about/cuddling with dogs as much as the next girl, I am equally attentive and energetic, and would not mind playing tug of war or fetch for hours on end! - I have plenty of experience with grooming / maintenance, and would have no problem providing extra teeth or hair brushing, as well as baths - I am great at handling and soothing anxious animals, so if you're dog is particularly nervous or hesitant with humans I'd be more than happy to put in any extra time, love, or care to bond with him or her - I'd also be willing to administer any medication your pup requires What I'd Like to Know: - If your dog has any particular medical conditions, or emotional needs (ex: anxiety, etc) - If your dog has any particular behavioral issues, or quirks (ex: a fear of bikers or skateboarders, bigger or smaller sized dogs, etc) - If there are any house rules you'd like me to follow (ex: staying off furniture, jumping, etc) All in all: Your pup will be showered with love and affection no matter what we do or where we go! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions or concerns. I look forward to befriending you and your dog!
