Heart-centered dog-sitting
Pet care experience
I used to work as a Registered Nurse and as a licensed massage therapist. I bring the same helping spirit to my work with animals. I‘ve spent over twenty-five years raising my own cats and dogs, have taken care of family and friends’ pets, and continue to do the work I love professionally. I cared for a one-eyed Boston Terrier with multiple medical problems for fourteen years, currently live with a sweet and sassy (luckily, healthy) Boston girl named Coco. I have volunteered with a dog rescue organization and continue to learn about dog behavior and training. I am happy to continue any training that you are doing with your dog/puppy while caring for them. Medical problems are not new to me so please feel comfortable leaving me with medications or special diets. I will love your pet(s) like my own “fur baby” so feel secure in leaving them and your home in my care. Thank you and stay safe, happy, and healthy!
Reviews
Marisa was a wonderful pet sitter for our very shy rescue cat. She communicated with us every day we were away. Our kitty was well taken care of! I would highly recommend Marisa.
Marisa was absolutely awesome - kept us notified everyday as to how things were going to put us at ease. I can't say enough about her, we are totally grateful to have found her and she was a perfect match to our furchildren - i would totally recommend her services! I so hope she will be available next year when we take our vacation. Thank you Marissa! Holly & Mike Gerner
This was the second time we had Marisa stay in our home to care for our dog while we were away. She took great care of our dog, and kept us updated throughout the week.
Very happy with Marisa watching our dog while we were away! She sent daily updates and our house was spotless on our return!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will try to keep your dogs and/cats on their usual schedule of feeding, out time, and play. I prioritize pet safety and will not leave them unattended when outside, in the car, or with new people.
Information Marisa M. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog or puppy crate-trained, good on a leash? Do they have a special diet or medications? What is your pet’s usual daytime and evening routine?
A typical day
I will be happy to go on walks, hikes, or just tossing a ball in the yard. I also would be happy to brush furry pets and even do gentle massage on animals that enjoy this!

I will stay in your home overnight for house-sitting and be there as much as your pet requires. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention whether doing drop-ins or house-sits.
