West LA located friendly, communicative, reliable pet professional. I found and reached out to Marisa after a quick Google search for my area, and things couldn't have turned out any better. I felt much more at ease traveling for the first time in a while after meeting with her. Thank you Marisa, until next time!! read more

Marisa is amazing! She took phenomenal care of our kitty Leela and provided immense peace of mind while we were out of town for two weeks, including Christmas day. We felt very comfortable with Marisa taking care of Leela in our home; she is very warm and considerate. She provided daily updates and pictures describing and showing how happy Leela was with her care, including plenty of playtime and cuddle sessions. Marisa was very thorough, including coming for a meet-and-greet ahead of our trip, providing excellent communication throughout the whole process, and her prices are very reasonable to boot! Leela has never been so content and cheery following our return home from a trip. We were able to fully enjoy our holidays knowing that Leela was in such good hands. Marisa will definitely be our first call for any future travel, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter! Thank you again, Marisa! :) read more

Marisa has been pet sitting for me/my pets for well over a year. I have two cats and one of them has diabetes and needs an insulin shot twice a day. Marisa comes in when I go out of town and also is able to come in when my schedule does not allow for time sensitive insulin shots. I so appreciate the care, pet knowledge and consistency. Marisa always spends time with the pets, takes a photo and gives me a quick report. I recently had a stray cat I was feeding outside. Marissa feed that cat too and even made a little food shelter when it rained- now that's really awesome! read more

Marisa is the perfect pet sitter. Here's why: - She was quick to respond - Extremely affordable - Excellent at communicating - Super friendly with me and my pets - Sent me pictures of my pets daily I highly suggest Marisa to anyone that is looking for a quality pet sitter who is trustworthy and will actually take care of your pets. 5/5! read more

Super great dog sitter she always comes by when I leave town to feed my dog spooky!!! She sends pictures and everything so you know your dogs doing good read more

Marisa has been taking care of my cat, Ralph, for over a year. She is the best pet sitter I've ever had and Ralph absolutely loves her! She always shows up on time, spends more than the required time with him and I always get the added perk of pictures before she leaves. She is the most dependable and always responds to my texts within an hour. I can't recommend Marisa enough. She truly is the best and I don't know what I would do without her. When Ralph got diagnosed with renal failure a little over a year ago, I was devastated. Marisa took away all my worries when I knew she would show up for Ralph's afternoon visit. She allowed me to not worry during the day so I could actually function at work. Happy to say that every time Ralph went to the vet they said he put on weight! The complete opposite of what happens with cats with renal failure. I owe it all to Marisa for taking such great care of my fur child. read more

We have used Marisa a handful of times now to take care of our cat, Tuna, when we leave town. Most recently, we took a 2 week vacation and set up a day by day schedule with Marisa (including some overnight stays) while we were gone. She was so accommodating and went out of her way to keep an eye on Tuna. Tuna is a grump. And Marisa has tamed the grump; which is no easy feat. She sends pics each day to let us know when she's stopped by, which is so nice and reassuring. We could not recommend her more highly! read more

My wife and I have been using Marisa to help us raise our puppy, Woofie, since the week we brought her home. It has been such a gift and treat. We recently went to Europe for a week. Out first time without our baby. Marisa welcomed her into her lovely home. We got daily updates and Woofie made fast friends with Marisas adorable dogs. I travel for work often. I really rely on Marisa and I'm always beyond happy with the level of service and love we get. I can't recommend her enough. read more

I found Marisa by fate about 7 months ago. I was preparing my life for a new puppy and was on a hunt for a dog sitter. After meeting Marisa and talking to her about what I was looking for, I knew she would be my life saver. Due to my constantly changing schedule and long hours at work, I really needed someone who was able to make multiple visits during the day and do all the things that a puppy needs. She was able to do all that and more. While at work, I'd frequently receive updates on my little guy, Ollie, or she'd leave me a note for each visit. It was a relief to know that Ollie was in such great care. I've referred Marisa to other friends and all have had great experiences as well. If you're looking for someone to take exceptionally great care of your dog, Marisa is your best bet out there. read more

I am so fortunate to have found Marisa to watch my little Maltese! She is reliable and has accommodated my schedule every time. My little guy, Bogie, is always happy to see her. He is so playful and Marisa gives him great personal attention. He has a great attitude when coming back home but I know he looks forward to my next vacation. Thanks, Marisa, for taking wonderful care of my little one!!! read more

Marisa is a terrific dog walker -- really cares, very dependable and responsive! My dog loves her! She is a great person to choose for your dog. I am glad I found her. I interviewed several dog walkers and she was head and shoulders above the rest. read more

Marisa has been walking my dog for about a year. My dog loves her! She is very reliable and texts you after each visit to say how it went. She is reasonably priced and worth every penny! read more

We love Marisa! When we're out of town she feeds our cats, spends time with them and sends us updates with pictures. We feel lucky to have found someone who is so thorough, consistent and reliable. read more

Very good service from Marisa. She only acts in a professional manner and is great with the dogs. On time, fair price, an ease to work with. Thanks Marisa! read more

Marisa has been walking my dog for 1 year. I also board my dog with Marisa for trips up to 10 days long. Marisa walks her at lunch time 5 days a week and I never have to worry about her getting out and being happy. My dog comes back from boarding happy and healthy. I think that boarding with her dog walker makes her more comfortable and less anxious. My dog is an older, rescue dog and she can be timid and indifferent to people and other dogs. She loves and trusts Marisa. She also likes Marisa's dogs which makes boarding with Marisa work well. Some benefits of working with Marisa: 1. She is flexible. I sometimes go into work later and Marisa will do my dog's walk later in the day if I ask. 2. Marisa will stick to any training you are doing, i.e. no leash pulling. 3. Marisa will notify you if your pet is acting strangely, i.e. lethargic. 4. She will text you to let you know she has walked your dog. 5. She is affordable compared to many of the dog centers in West LA. I like that my dog gets her private walk. 6. Marisa quickly "understands" your dog's personality and adjusts accordingly. e.g. my dog does not like wild, young, or overly enthusiastic other dogs so Marisa avoids them on their walks. 7. When boarding my dog I give Marisa detailed instructions on feeding my dog and I don't have to worry that she will follow them. 8. Marisa has a license which many individual dog walker do not have. This protects you and her from liability. She is after all going into your home and taking your baby. I have referred Marisa's services to other dog owners in my neighborhood and they have also enjoyed her services. read more

Marisa was referred to me by a client and we couldn't be happier! Marisa is not only very professional but also very loving with our dogs. My husband and I were going to be traveling for 3 weeks and needed someone to come help take care of our 2 dogs. After we returned we realized what a treasure we had. We now use her several times a week and often its at a moments notice. She walks them, takes them to the dog park, will feed them and also work on commands.we are so grateful for her and I know my dogs are always happy to see her. Thanks Marisa! read more

I have five cats, including two kittens, and feel so lucky to have found Marisa! She is simply fantastic. My kids were so upset to have to be away from our kitties for a one-week trip over the holidays. Marisa texted us with daily reports and cute photos of the cats so the kids would be reassured. It really helped them enjoy the holidays--they looked very forward to each report. The best part is that we've now found it easier to get out of town on weekends, b/c we know if Marisa will be coming by, the kitties will get tons of love and attention. She is the best! read more

I was given Marisa's name by a coworker to help walk and care for our new 3-month old puppy, Murray. Marisa was readily available to help us out on a moment's notice; she was reliable, trust-worthy with our belongings and access to our home, and she clearly LOVES animals. Murray took a liking to her immediately and was always excited for her visit. Marisa is helping us out, as well, and taking care of Murray on Christmas Day which has been SUCH a relief! I would highly recommend Marisa! read more

SO HAPPY to have found Marisa! Our dog is highly suspicious of new people and is not easy to win over. When a stranger enters our home, she will stay right at their feet barking a loud and scary warning. She is not small and her bark is deep and alarming. Knowing this, Marisa walked in and immediately handed her a high value treat, which Becca was thrilled to get but started barking again as soon as it was consumed. Marisa was not afraid and you cannot fake out our dog, she smells fear. We were leaving town and really needed a dog walker as our house sitter is elderly. Marisa was ready and willing. By day 2 of walking Becca, we received a text with a photo of our dog kissing Marisa! That beautiful photo is posted above. Enough said. read more
