Pet care experience

Active & Outgoing Animal Lover!

Hey everyone! My name is Marissa and I have owned pets my entire life as well as taken care of others for around 15 years. We currently have a Belgian malinois, two pup savvy cats, and a very energetic, animal-loving 4 year old daughter. My husband and I are both active duty and would love to help exercise your pets and stay active with them! We also volunteer and foster with 2 rescues based out of Fayetteville and have been with them for quite a while now. I have cared for a variety of animals including, but not limited to, cats, dogs, reptiles, small mammals, and farm animals. Animals of all varieties and sizes are welcome in our house. We will accommodate any needs or requirements for your pets. I have done overnight stays and drop-in visits. We have experience with medications, senior and young pets, and some basic training. While we do not have a fenced in yard, we have long leads that provide a certain level of freedom while your pets can roam our acre of land. We will walk and exercise your pets as much as needed. You will have plenty of photos and videos to view that will put you at ease in knowing that your pet is in fantastic hands! All I ask is that you provide the good, the bad, and anything else you feel we should know to properly care for your pet and have a successful stay. We are looking forward to all the new 2 and 4 legged friends we will make along the way!

Marissa and Avery did and does an AMAZING JOB!!! My dogs can be very intimidating but their courage of steel, helped them overcome all that and took care of my dogs and gave pets to the ones who really wanted. I will definitely contract with them again in the future. Truly APPRECIATE their hard work!!

This is my second time hiring Marissa to take care of my pets. Marissa made sure my pup and kitties were taken care of while we were out of town this time. She followed my pets routines to a T and even did some extra stuff that I really appreciate. She sent pictures from every visit, timed her visits perfectly so they were never alone for too long and let me know what they were up to each visit. She is worth every penny for the peace of mind of knowing our pets are safe and in great hands.

The best dog person ever! She is so sweet and caring. My pup is tough to deal with and this is the first time we left him home alone. I was so worried the whole time but Marissa made it so much easier. I can’t not thank her enough and can’t recommend her enough! Thank you!

I would love to know as much about your pet as possible. I would like to know any quirks that they have, behavioral issues, special needs, or medical requirements.
