Pet care experience

TLC for your furry friend!

I’ve had pets all throughout my childhood from all stages of life from puppy til the very end so I have lots of experience and can cater my care to fit your animal. I can ensure that I will care for your pet as I would my own, with careful attention and lots of love! Smaller and medium size dogs are ideal as I do live in an apartment and I am a smaller gal myself. My household is just my boyfriend and I, and our 2 cats who are very well socialized!

Marisela is our go to sitter in Portland. She’s so sweet and caring, keeps us updated, and is very patient with our shy guy! She’s attentive, communicative and overall a stellar sitter. We don’t know what we’d do without her!

So impressed by Marisela’s care of my Lucy! She literally said yes to watching her just hours before my flight when my initial sitter stood me up. I’m so grateful for her. Lucy was so happy during her stay, that she pulled her airplane travel bag out of the closet, pulled it in front of the front door and sat inside of it. I think that she was trying to communicate that she wanted to go back to Marisela’s! Would definitely book again!

Marisela is the best. She’s communicative and takes such good care of our pup! We love her updates throughout his stay. She’s our go-to sitter whenever we’re in NW Portland! 💜

Excellent job, as always! Thanks so much. We will definitely continue using your service. You have a repeat client here. Sophie is always so happy when we get her back and it’s obvious she’s very well taken care of.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment but I also have the privilege of living near multiple parks and beautiful walking routes that ensure they’re not cooped up in the house. For care during sittings, I pride myself in leaving spaces cleaner than when I entered. I understand how confusing and stressful it can be for a pet to be in a different space or have a stranger looking after them so I try my best to stick to routines that have already been instilled in the animal, but also showing them love or giving them space, however I can make them more comfortable with their stay.

Pets

A typical day

I love walking the dogs along the waterfront! It can both be relaxing or super exciting, and there’s always a way for them to see new doggy friends! :)

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Marisela can host up to 2 pets per night
I have 2 cats in my house so it’s important for all involved to know that your pet is 100% okay with cats! They’re socialized and curious and wouldn’t harm anybody, I just wanna make sure it goes both ways!
