Marisa was a great dog sitter to Barry!!! She was extremely communicative, helpful, and sent a lot of great pictures of our sweet boy! I will definitely rebook!

Marisa was wonderful! She spent the weekend expertly caring for our 6 cats and dogs as if they were her own. Marisa was really good about communicating with us throughout the weekend, both in writing and through sharing pictures. Caring for 6 fur babies is a lot to begin with but she handled all of them so well. I would recommend and would love to work with Marisa again.
