Pet care experience
I am a lifelong dog-owner who is looking to spend time with dogs of all sizes while staying active. I have many years of experience in walking dogs, caring for dogs, and owning a small Cock-a-poo for 16 years. I have also served as a caretaker for dogs with diabetic needs. I love staying active and walking/running with dogs to promote physical health. I like to change the pace/distance of walks to ensure each dog is getting the best and healthiest exercise for their personal needs. I am always willing to discuss the personal needs of a specific dog before agreeing to a walk, and want to make sure that both the pet-owner and dog are as comfortable as possible throughout the entire experience.
Reviews
Marisa not only loves dogs more than just about any person I know, but she is also one of the most responsible people I have ever met. Her sense of responsibility is evident in the kindness she shows to both canines and humans. My own dog can be skittish around people, but upon meeting Marisa was amazingly put at ease. I would trust Marisa with the life of both myself, and my dog!
Marisa and I co-dog sat our neighbor's dog for two and a half weeks this winter. Josie (the dog) was old and required a lot of attention. Marisa went to take Josie out, feed her, clean up any messes, and administer Josie's insulin injection twice a day -- always with a smile on her face! Having had a dog of her own for 15 years, she is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, and knew just what to do when Josie was sick. I would recommend Marisa for anyone looking for a caregiver for the dog in their family!
Marisa LOVES dogs...any kind, any size! She loves to walk and adores furry friends for company - a match made in heaven! She's had a lot of experience with her own dog for 16.5 years! She's very responsible and dependable! She's never met a dog she didn't love.
Marisa has dog sat for my neighbor’s dog in the past, and she did such an amazing job that they increased what they were paying her! She has grown up with a dog all her life, and she’s so loving and energetic with them. She even talks to them with a high-pitched doggie voice. Finally she is also the most responsible person I know. I would trust this girl with my life. Anytime you tell her to do something, she does it on time and goes above and beyond.
