My dog was well taken care of and had a blast with Marisa! Marisa is communicative and provided great updates of my dog. I was not worried about my dog at all while she was with her. I highly recommend booking with Marissa and I would book again!!

Marisa was great with my pup! Handled his exciting energy really well and gave him a lot of time to play. She was flexible with my schedule and had great communication

As always, Marisa is a great sitter and puts my mind at ease when I drop off my Nisha.

Marisa was absolutely wonderful. She accepted a last minute booking and we are so grateful for her watching our 6-month old puppy. Our dog was in good hands and had a great time!

Bonnie loves her! My dog is normally pretty shy but she warms up to Marisa super quick. Highly recommend!

I was really nervous about leaving both of my dogs with anyone for three days, but Marisa really put my mind at ease! She sent an update and videos of Maggie and Benny to let me know they were having a great time at her home. Very positive experience, would definitely recommend her services.

Safety, trust & environment

GROWING UP I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A VET AND SAVE LIVES. WELL, I TOOK THE MORE FINANCIALLY STABLE OPTION AND BECAME A VET TECHNICIAN AND WAS STILL ABLE TO ASSIST IN SAVING LIVES AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'M WELL VERSED IN VET-MED AND KNOW WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. IF I FEEL LIKE THE ENVIRONMENT IS EVER OVERWHLEMING FOR AN INDIVIDUAL I REMOVE THEM FROM THE ENVIRONMENT AND HAVE A 1-ON-1 AFFECTION SESSION WITH THEM, ENSURING THEY FEEL SAFE. PAWSITIVE IMPACT PET SERVICES HAS CRATES OF ALL SIZES AND SUITES AVAILABLE FOR QUITE TIME OR IF PUPS NEED TO TAKE A NAP OR SIMPLE JUST SOME ALONE TIME.

PLEASE MAKE ME AWARE OF YOUR PETS UPBRINGING & SOCILAZATION SCHEDULE TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR PUPS BEHAVIORS.
