Highlights
Pet care experience
Dependable, and caring, pet sitter
I’ve had plenty of experience caring for dogs, having regularly looked after them for friends and family, including overnight stays. I always make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply sticking to their usual schedule, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. I’m experienced in caring for puppies and senior dogs, understanding the extra patience, attention, and care they may require. I’m also happy to follow any training routines or specific instructions to ensure consistency while you’re away. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, walking, and feeding visits, always making sure your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and has plenty of companionship. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos throughout my time with your dog, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and having lots of fun.

I always ensure ai carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walking routes, medication, and daily routines, to help your pet feel as settled and comfortable as possible. I will always treat your home with the utmost respect, making sure it’s clean and secure, just as you left it. Also, I’ll ensure your pet has plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. Alongside this, I’ll send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.
Ratings and reviews
Marisa looked after our cat, Gölge, for two weeks while we were on holiday, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She did everything we had agreed on and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure Gölge was happy and well looked after. She developed such a lovely bond with her, and it was clear that Gölge became very comfortable and trusted her. By the end of the two weeks, she was behaving with Marisa just as she does with us, which was so lovely to see. Marisa also kept us updated throughout our holiday with regular photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind and made being away much easier. We are so happy we chose Marisa and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and thoughtful pet sitter. We would happily ask her to look after Gölge again!
We had such a wonderful experience with Marissa! She was incredibly responsive, attentive, and patient, especially while getting to know our rescue and taking the time to understand his personality and needs. She was kind, caring, and really took the time to build his trust, which meant so much to us. We felt completely reassured knowing he was in such capable and loving hands. She also left the house tidy and clean! She was absolutely fabulous, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!
Marisa is a kind and responsible young lady who is very comfortable around animals. She takes great care to understand the needs of the animal she’s looking after. She has taken care of family pets for years, and still does, including her own two family cats. I would recommend her for both cat and dog sitting as well as dog walking.
Marisa took wonderful care of my dogs, Archie (a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) and Mocha (a Mini Poodle). Mocha is usually quite shy around new people, but she took to Marisa almost immediately, which says a lot. Both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after when I got back. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I’d happily ask Marisa to look after them again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
My boys loved Marisa!! She treated Oscar and Zorro so well whilst I was away and made sure to send me regular updates of them being spoilt! Great sitter xx
Marisa is such a caring and responsible pet caregiver. She is wonderful with dogs, reliable and attentive, and I would happily recommend her for both house sitting and dog walking. She genuinely cares about the pets in her care and always goes the extra mile to make sure they are happy and comfortable.

Schedule
I currently work full time in a school, finishing at 4:30pm on weekdays, so I’m available for evening drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. I’m also available on weekends and throughout the school holidays, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with your pet. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s usual routine to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
