Marisa is truly a dog lover. She is very sweet and loving to my 2 basset hounds. She has petsat for them countless times and my dogs just love her. They are always so excited to see her, even my shy pup who never jumps on anyone is so excited to see her and jumps to greet her every time! She does a great job of paying attention to them as well as feeding them their strict diet and making sure they are drinking enough water. She likes to take them on walks around the neighborhood and takes them to the dog park to have play time with other dogs (with my permission beforehand, of course). She does a great job of making sure they get enough exercise and playtime. She also sends me plenty of pictures and detailed updates throughout their visit with her during walks and stays. I feel at ease when my dogs are in the care of Marisa!
