The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them. Please let me know about their routine, fears or triggers, medications, allergies, dietary needs, and anything else that is important to know.

A typical day

I always customize our daily activities around your pet’s age, energy, and health needs. My priority is to keep your pet safe and comfortable, but also ensure they are having fun!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Marissa! Animals are a huge part of my life. I pick spending time with animals over everything else! I have been dog walking and pet sitting regularly since I was a teenager. I also previously worked at an animal hospital, so I have a lot of medical knowledge regarding pet wellness and health. There have been cats and dogs in my family my entire life and I’ve raised my own puppies and kittens all the way to seniors. I’m comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and ages, and I can easily work with each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs.

Marissa was very caring and sweet to our pup Marley! She took great care of him and provided several pictures during the visits. She is super kind and friendly as well!

My dog Georgie really enjoys Marissa. She is prompt, dependable and understanding. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for dog walking.

Marissa did a great job with my dogs. Mia tends to bark when new people come in the house, but all was fine with Marissa. A big concern off my mind. She returns texts right away and does a great job.
