Pet care experience

Your dog's adventure guide!

Hello, pet parents! Your pup is in for a treat! I enjoy going on adventures! We check out state parks, forest preserves and beaches during our time together. I take lots and lots of photos to help capture the magic and share the fun with you. Of course for pets with more of a relaxed temperament, cuddles, belly rubs and more low key quality time is also greatly enjoyed. I look forward to spending time with your pup!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm very detail oriented and tidy. What ever your dogs routine is, I'll adapt. I'm also a neat freak so I do a great job of leaving your place cleaner than you left it.

Marissa is fantastic! She took great care of Our dog and our home. Marissa went over and above also caring for our outdoor plants. Really appreciate all she did for us. 🐾

Marissa is simply the best! We were away for 5 days, and Marissa did such a fantastic job taking care of our doggo. She was extremely communicative, always sent the best pictures of our dog, and gave our dog so much love, attention, and care while we were away! Marissa stayed overnights with our doggo and kept our place in wonderful condition. I will definitely plan to reach out to Marissa again when we go on vacation! Thank you again, Marissa!

Marissa was AMAZING. She stayed at our house with our anxious dog Nicko for a week. Every single day he went on a loooooong walk, or to the park, or both! And that was even when she was a bit under the weather. I’m pretty sure our house was cleaner when we came home than when we left. Her communication was consistent, lovely, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She will definitely be our go to girl moving forward.

Marissa watched over Benny, our elderly greyhound while we were away and we're very happy with her. Communication was very good, Benny got his meds on time (super important!) and we got good pics which is always a plus. We'll definitely have her back next time we need a sitter.

Marissa took wonderful care of our greyhound, Cash, while staying in our home. She was thoughtful, neat, and left everything very clean when we returned. Throughout her stay, she sent great photos of Cash, which gave us real peace of mind while we were traveling. Most importantly, Cash was very happy and well cared for. We were extremely pleased with Marissa and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and respectful pet sitter.

Marissa was the most responsible sitter ever! She had to deal with some crazy things thrown her way while she was with us. Our fence fell down from the wind, one dog had tummy troubles and the our flight home cancelled ohh and it snowed. Marissa handled everything perfectly and went above and beyond our expectations!! She sent pics and update often and communicated with us the whole time. She even took on the difficult job of walking our 3 dogs at the same time. We would love to have Marissa back anytime. The pips loved her and I can tell she really cared about them too!

Please let me know if your dog gets along with other dogs and if your dog gets along well with kids. I'd appreciate knowing ahead of time if your dog has any unique personality traits such as excessive barking when nervous. It would also be kind to warn me in advance if your dog struggles with problematic behaviors such as humping or nipping.
