A reliable, animal loving, teacher.

Pet care experience

My name is Marissa and I am an elementary school teacher. When I’m not at school with my students, I am at home relaxing. I am available for watching pets in my own home while you are away for your weekend trips or even week long vacations. I am also able for drop in visits at your home and dog walking. My availability for drop in visits and dog walking is more open during school breaks and the summer. I only pet sit for one family at a time. I will watch multiple pets if they are from the same family. My house is one story, is in a safe neighborhood, and has a fenced in back yard. I have grown up around dogs and am very comfortable caring and playing with them. I grew up with my family dog Samson, a shih tzu and bichon mix, and my sister’s dog Max, a black lab mix. Your animals will be in great and loving hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry loved ones!

Marissa was so kind, and pleasant to work with! She was very accommodating for our senior pup! Would recommend her to everyone!

Marissa did a great job watching Bailey. He got lots of attention and took advantage of her fenced in yard. I will definitely use Marissa again if I'm in town.

Marissa is great with our dog. She understood the needs of our dog and provided him with great care. She is super responsive. Thanks Marissa!

Marissa was amazing! We will definitely be booking her again. Our little Molly was at a local boarding facility a couple weeks ago and came home very upset and anxious. When we picked her up from Marissa last evening she was doing great. She has been in great spirits since. Knowing she can stay with someone who cares for her like we would is the best feeling!

Safety, trust & environment

I try my best to keep things similar at my home as they would be at your home. I am comfortable with dogs having free range of the house if that is what they are familiar with and they are well trained. If your dog is used to staying in a crate while you are gone, please bring a crate when you drop them off. Pets are welcomed on the couch and bed. I also highly suggest bringing food/water bowls, toys, a blanket, and anything else that would be beneficial for your pet to feel more comfortable in a new place.

Information Marissa C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any behaviors/habits I should be aware of or has any medication that they will need to be given. I know some dogs are better at taking medication than others so please share your tricks on how to successfully give your dog their medicine!

A typical day

I would love to play fetch with your dog outside in the backyard. I would also love to take them on walks around the neighborhood. The neighborhood is a decent size and has lots of different routes to take.

I work full time during the school year and will be gone for about 8 hours a day. After work I come home, do things around the house, and relax. I would love to snuggle with your pet after I get home from work. On weekend and during the summer, I don’t have a set schedule. If I have to leave it’s typically no longer than 4-5 hours at a time.
