Certified Veterinary Technician!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Marisa. I’ve been passionate about animals since I was little. Their entire world revolves around the care and affection we provide them. This is why I dedicate my time to making sure each pup I meet knows they are loved! I've interacted with almost every canine breed, and I haven't met a pooch yet that I couldn't get to love me! I had an abundance of pets growing up—my parents rescued as many animals as they could afford to care for. At times, we had up to 20 pets a once! I currently have a cat that I rescued three years ago when I found him wandering around the woods of West Virginia. I work full-time at an animal hospital as a Kennel Technician and I recently graduated school as a Certified Veterinary Assistant. I’m eager to continue my education in the veterinary field, my goal is one day to become a Veterinarian. I live in a private community in a house with a fenced-in yard. My neighborhood is very quiet, walkable, and pet-friendly. There are two small ponds near my home that my dog enjoys moseying around as well as huge lake and community park a few minutes down the road with over three miles of walking trails. In my free time, I pet sit for Rover. I have ample experience batheing and giving medications to animals, treating ill or disabled pets, and providing overall care. I’m also knowledgeable in behavioral training and have a lot of patience with difficult dogs. Since I’ve looked after pets with all kinds of personalities, disabilities, and quirks, I make the perfect caregiver for any animal.

Our experience with Marisa as a house sitter was fantastic! We left our babies and they were so well taken care of. Marisa sent us pictures and was extremely responsive if we checked in on them. Our house was clean when we returned and she even helped with washing the sheets before she left! I will definitely be using her again. Big thumbs up!

Marisa did a great job! She traveled quite a bit out of her typical area to care for our elderly Boston Terrier, Godiva. To say that Godiva has issues is an understatement, as she has some medical issues that require special care and attention. I strongly recommend Marisa to watch your fur baby, and would book her again without hesitation.

Marisa is awesome! She’s super responsive and came to meet my girls and get to know them before taking them for their first walk. They love her and our walks with Rover have been great! She always goes the extra mile when she comes to walk them, bringing in any packages we have and even our trash cans! Marisa will be house sitting for us in a couple months and we trust that our dogs and home will be in great hands with her! Highly recommend her for dog walking or house sitting!

Marisa was excellent. I appreciate the experience and confidence that she has. She was very engaging with my cat and put me at ease about the Rover/pet sitting process. Her customer service is top-notch and I have recommended her to friends in the area. I was referred to Marisa from a close friend and she did not disappoint.

Information Marisa P. would like to know about your pet

I love all dog breeds and don’t have any preferences. I’d like to know about your pup’s feeding schedule and exercise requirements. I also prefer all pets to have vaccinations up to date and male pups to be neutered (unless they are young puppies). Let me know your preferred vet, as well!

A typical day

One of my favorite places to take my furry friends out for walks and playtime is Laurel Lakes. The community dog parks are also excellent for getting some energy out—there are at least three within a few miles of my house, some of which have agility courses. I also don’t mind cleaning cages, backyards, or tidying up your home. Dirty work is no problem for me. I have an open, friendly communication style and am very responsive and attentive to my clients. I love to send owners cute photos of their fur babies during our time together. Each animal I care for is treated as if they are my own beloved companion. I value building a connection with each client and pet individually.
