Fulltime Professional Loving Care

Pet care experience

Welcome to my pet care profile! Thank you for taking the time to explore my services. I understand that selecting the right caregiver for your cherished pet is a significant decision, and I'm excited to share a bit about myself to help you make an informed choice. With over 12 years of experience in pet care, I have a strong foundation in providing exceptional care to furry friends. For the past 6 years, I've been an active member of the Rover platform, and for the past 5 years, I've dedicated myself to full-time pet care. My experience spans dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I'm genuinely enthusiastic about getting to know each pet's unique personality. Beyond dogs, I've had the pleasure of caring for cats, birds, and even pigs, which has given me the confidence to handle a diverse range of animals with love and joy. While I may not be a professional groomer or trainer, I've gained valuable insights over the years that I'm more than happy to share, along with offering bathing and brush-out services. My boarding service operates in convenient 24-hour periods, while daycare is available for a 10-hour duration. During both services, your pet will receive individualized, top-notch care and plenty of attention. Whether it's playing fetch, snuggling, or anything in between, I'm here to cater to your pet's needs. I have a secure, fenced yard and an abundance of time and patience to ensure your precious pooch has a fantastic experience. Allow me to introduce my own furry companions. First, there's Pugga, my sweet 10-year-old pug, who adores snuggling and leisurely walks but also relishes attention from people and treats. Our newest family member is Kelso, a 2-year-old German Shepherd who has a job as my service dog. Kelso is an energetic player, especially fond of chasing balls, and is incredibly gentle and loving with smaller and older dogs. Bella, my Mini Aussiedoodle, loves ball games, cuddles, and plays harmoniously with dogs of all sizes. Kelso, Pugga and Bella are well-acquainted with welcoming visiting pups, and their varying energy levels ensure your pet will find a suitable playmate, whether they prefer lounging with Pugga or engaging in active play with Bella or Kelso. For me, pet care isn't just a job; it's a lifelong passion and commitment. My primary objective is to make your pet feel so comfortable and content that they won't want to leave. The regular canine visitors become like family to me, and I derive immense joy from pampering them while their families are away. I hold no biases against specific breeds, having grown up with German Shepherds and Jack Russells. Each dog is a unique individual, and I'm always willing to accommodate their specific needs, including one-on-one time for those who may be hesitant around other dogs. Simply let me know your pet's preferences, and I'll tailor their experience accordingly. If you have any more questions or need further information, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm known for my reliability and excellent communication skills, ensuring you stay updated on your pet's activities while you're away. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome your pet into my extended family and provide them with the highest level of care and attention. Warm regards, Marissa

Marissa took great care of my puppy and took the care to find a good playmate for him. She did wonderfully with communication and updates and was so friendly.

We've used Marissa several times and she's always communicated well and been super flexible if the schedule had to change.

Marissa was wonderful with my juicy girl. This was our first time going to a sitters house. Marissa updated me throughout the day and sent pictures of my girl. We will most definitely be back

Information Marissa C. would like to know about your pet

I want to learn their favorite things to do, their feelings on new people and new pups, and I want to answer any questions you might have so you feel confident and comfortable bringing your pup to stay with me.

A typical day

Our typical day always starts with an early morning bathroom break. I usually feed everyone around 7 30 AM and PM, but if your pup is used to a different schedule I am happy to do that. The rest of my day is open, we might go for walks, play ball, cuddle, and of course get lots of love and belly rubs.
