Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Marisa is so sweet and kind. When we did the meet in greet and met her puppy Finnegan and how my dog Abigail got along with I knew I had the right person for the right job. Marissa was very supportive of my issues because I was having surgery done to replace my hip. Again a very kind person.
Marisa does a fantastic job. I have worked with her a couple times now and will continue to book with her in the future.
Marisa did a great job taking care of my cat. She was kind and was able to send me messages and photos. I would recommend her and I already have her booked again.
Marisa was great taking care of Adele and providing daily pictures~ I look forward to her cari g for Adele again in the future~

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.
Home
Information Marisa K. would like to know about your pet
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.
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!
