Information Marisa M. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your dog or cats likes/dislikes, preferred toys and activities, anything that might make them anxious or reactive and anything else you’d feel is important to share with me about your fur baby! Please leave detailed written care instructions for your pet here in the app or on a note in your home so I can follow your pets routine and care exactly how you would! I love caring for all dogs and cats no matter the breed, size, age, personality, etc!

A typical day

I’d love to do any of your pets preferred activities, whether that’s a short slow walk or a long fast paced one, playing with toys inside or outside while also taking into consideration if your pup needs high energy or low energy play. I’m happy to find preferred toys and engage in play with your cat or just chill with them if they prefer to relax! If your curious about any enrichment activities or toys for your dog or cat I’m always willing to share my recommendations and make sure that your pet has a great time each visit with me!

This is our second time with Marisa caring for our cats. She really understands them and adapts well to what they need. She is warm and empathetic and sends lots of great pics and notes. It’s like she’s part of the family. We know our trio is in great hands while we’re away.

This was my first time using Rover, and Marisa came highly recommended by a friend. I was incredibly impressed with her daily communication, detailed updates, and the wonderful pictures she shared each day. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our cat and gave her lots of care and attention. When we returned home, our cat was calm, relaxed, and content—which is very unusual, as she is normally quite vocal and upset when we’ve been away. We’ve had friends and neighbors stop by before to give treats and check in, but it was never the same level of care and companionship that Marisa provided. We are so happy with the experience and would absolutely love to use Marisa again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive cat sitter!
