Availability

I work part-time as a court reporter, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I can accommodate morning, midday, evening, or overnight visits, whatever works best for your pet's routine. My remote work setup means I'm often home and can provide extended visit times or last-minute care when you need it. I'm also available on weekends and holidays when finding reliable care can be challenging.

I offer flexible care options depending on your pet's needs and your preferences. Whether visiting once daily or staying overnight, I prioritize your cat's comfort by maintaining their exact routine in the familiar environment of your home. I'm conscientious about home security, keeping doors locked, preventing escapes, and never advertising my or your absence. I'm also respectful of your space, keeping everything clean and following any household guidelines you provide. Daily updates with photos give you peace of mind while you're away.

Information Marisol R. would like to know about your pet

Getting to know your pet before their stay helps me create the perfect experience for them! I'll ask about their health history, any medications they take with dosing instructions, and your vet's contact information for emergencies. I want to understand their eating habits, what food they love, portion sizes, meal times, and any allergies. Their personality matters too, so please tell me how they behave around other animals, whether they're shy or outgoing, and any situations that make them anxious. Knowing their daily routine and favorite activities helps me keep things familiar and comfortable. I also love hearing about their quirks and the little things that make them happy. Of course, I'll need your contact details and a backup person to call if needed. Every pet is different, and these details help me provide care that's tailored specifically to your furry family member!

A typical day

Your pet's day at my home is filled with comfort, fun, and plenty of attention! Mornings start with breakfast and walks or playtime in my backyard for dogs. Cats enjoy interactive play sessions and cozy window perches for bird watching. Throughout the day, pets have freedom to roam in safe, pet-proofed areas (no crates unless that's part of their routine). Dogs get multiple walks and outdoor play, while cats have climbing trees and scratchers. Evenings wind down with dinner, final potty breaks or play, and relaxation time on the couch. Your pet sleeps in a comfortable space, and I'm always nearby if they need anything.

Your Pets Deserve the Best Care

Pet care experience

I've been caring for animals my entire life, as I wanted to be a veterinarian growing up. I have 5 years of professional pet sitting experience and am skilled in puppy training basics (housebreaking, crate training, basic commands). I love working with shy or fearful pets and have endless patience helping them come out of their shells. My clients say I have a natural gift for reading animal body language and making pets feel safe and loved.

Marisol took wonderful care of my two dogs. I left for over a week on vacation with boarding full, Marisol was there to give extra special attention to my senior dog & more difficult/reactive dog. She was sure to update me the whole time with photos too. My pups absolutely adore their sitters. They got all the walks, pets & played a bunch. Can't thank her enough for all of the attention & care!

Mari has always been an animal lover. They have had pets (dogs and cats) through their entire live, and has always shown a lot of love and care towards them. Mari's cat Oogie is one of the sweetest, most loving, fun little fur buddies I have ever met. Mari has taken care of our mutual friends' pets in the past before, and always handled the task with the utmost importance.
