About Marisa

0

have extensive experience in pet care that began in childhood and has continued into adulthood. Over the years, I've been responsible for walking, feeding, and sitting for dogs of various breeds, ages, and temperaments. This hands-on experience has allowed me to develop a strong understanding of canine behavior, including how to address common issues such as anxiety, reactivity, and leash pulling with patience and consistency. I've learned to read and respond to behavioral cues, adapt routines to fit individual needs, and maintain a calm and attentive presence in high-energy environments. Whether working with senior dogs requiring gentle care or more active breeds needing structured play and exercise, I always prioritize safety, trust, and the pet's well-being. My long-term experience has taught me the importance of routine, positive reinforcement, and building strong bonds with animals through reliable and compassionate care.
