Pups Before Profits – Team Brooklyn

Marisa is awesome. Our dogs love her and she is a great handler. Super responsive, flexible, understanding of special needs and in tune with their complexities. Great if you have a rambunctious pittie or bossy chihuahua. ;) Highly recommend.

This service is great. Marisa is my walker and she is amazing. My dogs absolutely love her. I have a large pit that can be weird with strange dogs and a corgi mix that’s slightly shy outside. This means I have to trust my walker immensely. Marisa has been walking them for over a year without incident.
Highly recommend.

Marisa walked and babysat my dog Sophie before I moved to Manhattan. She is courteous and trustworthy, and Sophie LOVES her. Marisa is very active and was comfortable taking Sophie for runs in addition to walks. It was such a relief coming home to a tired, happy dog after a long day of work.
I’m a neurotic Jewish dog parent, and I’ve never felt worried about Sophie at all in the hands of PbP. They’re all true dog lovers and give dogs affection in addition to exercise. Marisa always texted me after a walk to let me know what she and Sophie did (and if Sophie did a #1 and #2). She never missed an appointment and accommodated quite a few last minute requests. More than once, I asked for a sit the day of and if she didn’t have plans she always said yes! I also trusted Marisa completely to stay in my apartment. It was always cleaner than it was when I left after a sit.
I couldn’t recommend Marisa more. I’ve seen a lot of dog walkers around the city with 10 dogs, at the dog park with over the allowed number of dogs (and it’s just not possible to properly supervise 10 dogs at once), and ignoring dogs while texting. A lot of these walkers are associated with companies that charge a lot more than PbP. I also like the PbP is a collective, so the money I pay actually went to Marisa instead of a big company who prioritizes money over the dogs.
A++, really a trustworthy operation that goes above and beyond basic expectations. Marisa still does sits and the occasional walk for me even though I live in upper Manhattan now. She’s always my first choice!
