Professional Handling Experience

I have nearly 8 years of professional work experience with dogs and cats. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I feel comfortable with all sizes of dogs but do prefer large and giants! I work at an Animal Shelter so I do have experience handling various breeds, ages, temperaments, etc. on a daily basis. I vaccinate, microchip, and sometimes help medicate the animals at the shelter I work at. I have a “problem” child of my own so I know how to work with stress/anxiety, on leash reactivity, and wariness of strangers in dogs. I’m patient and understand the stress that dogs/cats feel when their owners are gone. Most importantly I understand how hard it is to find a person to trust your pets with.

Safety, trust & environment

My dog, Charlie is very reactive to dogs and new people. I practice safe management every day. I do the same for dogs that I care for.

Marissa is not only a trustworthy, wonderful person, but a completely passionate animal lover and caregiver! She has the experience that makes her a great rare find for people who need a responsible home for your pet while you’re away. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!

I have known Marissa for quite some time and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to take care of my dogs except for her. She has taken care of my 4 dogs many times and they are always well cared for and happy when I come home. I strongly recommend her.

Please let me know if your dog has any behavioral issues or medical concerns. I ask to be made aware if the dog has a bite history or history of harming any other animal, so I can be proactive in the type of care I provide.
