Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their home, I keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure your pet receives plenty of attention and affection.

Information Marissa A. would like to know about your pet

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 how they do around other people or animals.

A typical day

For dog walks, I like to switch it up to keep things fun! Depending on your dog's energy level and what you're comfortable with, we can walk at the beach, go on a hike, or just enjoy a walk around the neighborhood.

Caring, trusted sitter & dog walker

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a big part of my life. I started pet sitting and dog walking as a teenager, have had cats and dogs of my own, and previously worked as a veterinary clinic assistant. I am completely comfortable caring for dogs of any breed, size, or age. I love my regular client pets like family and have been caring for many of them for years. I will ensure that your pet receives the highest level of attention, affection, and safety while having fun in my care!

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.
