Over the last 7 years I’ve had over 30 sitters from Trusted Pet Sitters, and Marisa is one of the few special people who arrived as a sitter, and left as a friend. Firstly, she travelled over 12 hours from New York to South of France to do my sit. If that doesn’t deserve a pet sitter medal I don’t know what does. When Marisa arrived she was instantly easy to get on with - easy going, funny, no dramas despite having flown for a day and having jet lag hit her. She was upbeat, chatty, full of good energy and life. It sounds like a cliché but I felt like we were old friends as soon as I met her. The handover was easy (with 3 ferrets it’s not always easy) and Marisa learned their faces to names quicker than anyone ever has. I felt so relaxed with her being in my home and looking after my fur babies that when I got sick during my “holiday” my last thought was to check my phone to check in on her. Marisa dealt with my absence due to bedridden Covid like a pro - even though the ferrets were throwing her curveballs that I hadn’t foreseen, she was caring and invested and professional and even managed to make me howl with laughter when I finally did check my texts to learn about their antics. This girl will make you laugh or your money back 🤣 She even got a ferret scar during her time but didn’t make a drama out of it, just took it in her stride. I felt like she really loved and understood my animals which is what we all want to feel when we are away. Once I got home after this 7 day sit, she picked me up from the airport (in my car, unscratched, so you can trust her with your car) and we got on so well I invited her to stay at mine for a long weekend sit extension, over New Year’s Eve into the new year. I’ve never had a sister but hanging out with Marisa at home for a few days gave me a glimpse of what having an easy going, funny sister that you can tell all your stories to must be like. We even face timed her mom who was 6 hours behind France’s time zone and her mom is just as warm and lovely and ended up inviting me out to her home in the states. Just a wonderful and warm family in all. This was a fantastic experience for me and my ferrets who loved Marisa and still miss her. I can recommend Marissa with more than 5 stars to whoever is lucky enough to have her apply. She is resourceful, has loads of common sense, is great with animals and has a huge love for all animals - and if you have the chance to hang out with her then I can guarantee very interesting conversations and lots of belly laughing. Marisa thank you 💗⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rachel was so easy to work with. She's articulate and engaged, asking questions and volunteering info that pertained. We have a total of 16 cats and she sent daily updates and pictures of them. Our very shy indoor cats liked her right away and it was great to know they had someone to snuggle with. My house full of plants were all alive and healthy after 2 weeks. The house itself was clean and organized. Rachel even changed the sheets and towels and filled the car with gas. We will certainly reach out to her this summer when we plan to leave again.

We were very pleased with Drisana (& Jason) as sitters for our home, cat & wild critters. Drisana is a calm and down-to-earth person that gives off an aura of peacefulness when you're around her. Our cat was very relaxed and looked well-cared for when we returned home. We would gladly have her return to sit for us.
