Pet care experience

My love for animals goes back as far as I can remember, beginning with my family's loyal, protective German Shepherd, Max. My extended animal family eventually expanded to include two additional dogs, a chinchilla, a cat, a very friendly tarantula, and two horses, all of whom taught me many, many lessons in life as I grew up here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Years of wildlife experience and anatomical study further enables me to understand and appreciate why you insist on the raw chicken atop one and a half cups exactly of the dry food, or why it's crucial their medicine be administered no later than 9 am, so have no fear! (: I'll send you as many photo updates as you desire. Open to requests that involve travel for small travel fee. Utmost discretion for at-home sitting/drop-in visits. Feel free to contact me with any questions! :)

Marissa was excellent. She was attentive to Mayberry's unique habits, and kept me well informed. Marissa is responsible, intelligent, extremely pleasant and trustworthy. Highly recommend, but I get first dibs!

Information Marissa D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the dog's general disposition before meeting him or her, and if there are any behavioral traits I should know about in advance. Any aggressive tendencies should definitely be made known. This doesn't dissuade me! It just helps us both have the most comfortable time in each others' company.

A typical day

I love to hike! I would love to take your dog for a romp in the woods in a more rural setting, whether it's Frances Slocum State Park or a low-key wooded area near your home. I am also very careful when it comes to fleas and ticks, and will perform thorough checks after any woods walks to ensure your pooch is pest-free.
