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 was a great sitter! She had our sweet senior lab for over a week and kept us updated about her stay. She was friendly and communicated well. I highly recommend her!

Marissa was awesome! She sent pictures or videos every day and detailed updates. Foxy gave her a bit of a hard time at first and Marissa was very patient with her until she was comfortable. Thank you Marissa for caring so well for Foxy.

Marissa was an excellent dog sitter. She communicated very well before the sit, asking thoughtful and pertinent questions to make sure she understood Tony’s needs and routine. Throughout the experience, she was caring, attentive, and clearly invested in his well-being. I felt completely comfortable knowing Tony was in good hands. I would definitely use Marissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.
