Safety, trust & environment

I don’t have a fenced in yard but my complex has a dog park and lots of space to walk them. Even a trail! So I am more than happy to take your dog out on a leash and walk him or her. I love going out side so you don’t have to worry about them not getting exercise or enough potty breaks. I want them to have a good time and be as comfortable as possible while they’re away from home.🙂

Information Marissa A. would like to know about your pet

I know this isn’t the typical message for this box but I need to put it somewhere. Just wanted to let you know that I’ve been getting a lot of requests lately and they all seem to be around the same dates, so whoever messages me back first and confirms booking I will take them and have to decline the other. Nothing against you just prefer to do one at a time, hope you understand.🙂 (I would only make an exception if both dogs are dog friendly.)

A typical day

We will go on walks and sometimes the park if you give me the ok if there allowed. I want to make sure they get out and release all their pent up energy if they have any. I’m lucky to have roommates that love dogs just as much, so you don’t have to worry about them not getting attention.

Marissa took wonderful care of our dog, Hugo, while we were on vacation. We loved the regular updates and photos, and Hugo was happy and well cared for when we returned. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!

Excellent Sitter. She is very caring and kept up with his schedule well. She communicated with us daily with txts and photos. Our Baloo loved her as she played with him and kept him active.

Marissa was absolutely wonderful with our dog Miso during his stay from November 26 to December 1. From the very first night, she kept us updated with cheerful messages, photos, and videos that showed Miso happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It was clear he was getting plenty of attention, playtime, and affection—not just from Marissa but also from her roommate, which added a nice social touch. She was responsive throughout the week and made pickup coordination smooth and stress-free. We especially appreciated her thoughtful communication and the genuine care she showed for Miso’s comfort and well-being. We’d happily book with Marissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, attentive sitter who treats your pet like family.
