Pet care experience

Covington, Mandeville, Madisonville

I AM NOW A FULL TIME PET SITTER! I have worked as a Veterinary Technician for almost 3 years, but I've worked in the animal field for 8 years. I've always owned and loved animals from ferrets to horses and thought I should use my love for animals and start a business for myself. The thought of having my own business and being able to do what I love made me very happy. I've noticed over the years of working at boarding facilities that pets seem to like be in an environment that they're used to. A lot of animals become anxious or down right terrified. This can cause aggression and harm for both pets and employees. I have never in my years of pet sitting had a dog terrified or anxious when they're home (aside from the ones anxious with fireworks and loud noises). But I have also felt that heart-breaking feeling when I have to take my dogs to be boarded somewhere. I spend most of my vacation wondering if my babies are being properly cared for or are they just spending their days locked in a kennel scared and worried if I'll ever come back. So here I am, providing a service that makes you and your pets happy too.

Marisa was terrific. Obviously an animal lover. Everything about the process and stay was perfect. Would definitely recommend without reservation. Thank you for taking such good care of my sweet fur babies, Marisa!

I have a fenced yard and a laid back blue heeler that is up to play as well! I don’t leave anyone unattended without supervision.

Pets

A typical day

If I am allowed, I would love to bring them to the dog park, nature trail or lakefront! If you decide to board your pup with me, I have an acre of land and a kiddy pool the pups can romp and play in! Of course for the elderly or smaller dogs, there's always room for walks and snuggle time!

Cats

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Marisa can host up to 15 pets per night
I would love to know any medications taken, if they react to certain things differently, (my moms dog has to sniff people before they pet him) whether they chew, dig, escape etc. Are they body sensitive (doesn't like their ears touched) If there's more than one dog do they have to be separated to eat, can they have bones around. Are they dog friendly, do they pull on a leash.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
