Safety, trust & environment

I will obviously respect any rules you have in your home. I prefer playing with dogs outside, just to make sure no roughhousing occurs in the house! I’m a big believer in playing tug of war until the dog gives up.

Information Marissa D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs! I’m more than happy to accommodate or respect boundaries. Is your dog afraid of men wearing hats? Does your dog get nervous around groups of people? If I smell like my cat when I come by will your dog freak out? Can I give them treats? How many treats can I give them? Can I give them a lot of treats? And if you’ve got a pet camera or a ring security camera, I’m totally fine with it! I’ve got one to keep an eye on my Kaiju when I’m out.

A typical day

A typical day in my life generally includes working on freelance art projects and then cuddling with my cat kaiju until it’s time for bed. With your pet, I’d most likely take them on a nice long walk and potentially play some fetch.

Pet care experience

When I first meet a client, I typically spend some time getting to know the dog and make sure that he/she is comfortable with me. Either by just laying on the floor, feeding them treats, whatever the best method is. But seriously, I will fall in love with your dog. I haven't met a single one that I didn't like! I had pet rats as a teen, and I continued to keep pet rats, a guinea pig, and a few hamsters into my twenties. I love an exotic animal, and am more than happy to learn how to care for them if you need a caretaker.

Marissa was wonderful! She was available with little to no notice, timely and very pleasant. And Scooby got his much needed adventure 🐕
