Safety, trust & environment

If caring for your doggo, I will be sure to learn their commands (if any) before you go for communication between your pup and me. For walks, I am a vigilant walker with my dog (no headphones) so rest assured that your pet will be safe and enjoy their time outside. (Note: No stranger to big fur babies or pocket sized!) If you need to keep a schedule for your pets needs, we can figure out a plan to ensure the best care for your kid.

Pet care experience

There have been very short periods in my life without having an animal-friend around; Cats being the most common companion, followed by dogs. (Note: Pit Bulls are A-OK with me! Hash Buddy was my first dog growing up and he was a loving and good boy.) I am also no stranger to snakes, hamsters, mice, ferrets, and fish. I love them all! I have experience with senior pet care - administering medications, helping with old joints, and vet visits. They deserve their best life too. Having animal-friends around all the time means I am also excellent at managing a multi-pet household. A plus for all you fellow animal lovers!

Marisa recently stayed at our house to watch our 2 dogs while we were out of town. She was very responsive in her communication, she asked great care questions when we did our meet and greet and was superb in caring for our dogs and house. I highly recommend her and plan to hire her again when we leave town.
