Marissa did a great job caring for my two large dogs while I was out of town for the holidays. The people that usually watch Kingston and Moose were also going out of town for the holidays, so I had to find someone else. It can be difficult to find someone to trust, especially over Christmas. Marissa was quick to respond to messages, and came over the next day to meet the dogs. It was easy to see that Marissa had experience with large dogs, and the dogs warmed up to her quickly. This was the first time I had someone house sit, and stay at my house, rather than take the dogs to someone's house. I think this was easier on the dogs, and it was nice to know that someone was going to be with them overnight. Marissa had excellent communication, sent pictures, and let me know what her schedule was like, so I would know when she was going to be with the dogs. I highly recommend Marissa as a house/dog sitter, and would not hesitate to have her watch my boys again the next time I go out of town.
