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 💗⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was the second time I used K to care for my home and kitties.  Again she did a great job of communicating on a regular basis and made sure my kitties were loved and that Buster's meds and feeding routines were carried out as directed.  Unfortunately she had to leave a few days early because of some issues at home.  She had made me aware that the early exit might be a possibility upon her arrival.  She contacted me as soon as she knew that her plans had to change, then she contacted a neighbor and instructed her in the current medicine protocols and feeding for both of the cats.  Before she left she cleaned so that the apartment was in good shape when I returned.  She is someone that you can feel comfortable with being in your home and can be certain that you will return to happy and heathy pets!  I look forward to having her return for future sits.

Tyler was very professional - I felt like Mixon had all of his needs met while I was away. He also did a good job with my plant collection. The house was EXTREMELY tidy upon my return which was nice.

I could tell Rich was extremely respectful starting with my interview with him. I was so happy he applied for our short sit!

Rich read my welcome guide in detail before he arrived. He came one night early so we could overlap and show him the ropes. He was already familiar with much of what I showed him since he did his homework. 

Rich even took a photo of the sofa so he could put the pillows back where we had them. He leaves a light footprint on the house and we returned as if we hadn’t missed a beat. 

Our dog Colin liked Rich right away. If Rich applies for your sit you are in good hands.
