Safety, trust & environment

We like to both give lots of pets and love. Whatever your instructions are for your pet, we follow them. I have cared for several pets that had unique eating habits and I am more than happy to follow any unique instructions.

Information Marisa M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has special needs or if they are anxious around people or other dogs. I have experience with that because my dog has anxiety.

A typical day

I love walking dogs through lots of different parks and neighborhoods. I am new to Whatcom County, so this would be a great way to get to know the area. I would love to take your dog to a big open field and throw a ball, if that is what they are really into as well. My daughter loves to play with cats, so if your cats likes to play with toys she’s really good at that.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. I’ve always had cats and a few caged animals. When my husband and I moved to Alaska we got dogs. I currently have a Miniature Schnauzer, and 1 Siamese cat. I can care for the needs of your cat, dog, or other animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pets. I currently work for the Ferndale School District, but I have summers off from June-September. I will have my 10 year old daughter with me occasionally to also care for your pets. She is an avid animal lover and a big help with pets. I can care for your pets Monday-Friday during the summer. I have a cared for a variety of pets through the years. I have ever cared for chinchillas. I am also an avid gardener and can care for your plants as well.

Marisa and her daughter took great care of our two cats while we were camping. She sent pictures, and gave us detailed updates. I would definitely use them again!
