Pets

I've grown up with dogs all my life

Pet care experience

I've grown up with having a dog in the house since I was born, from puppies to full grown dogs. I currently own a Boston terrier and a French bulldog, both of whom I love soooo much. I have experience in puppy training since raising two of my phone, along with basic command training. I love going to the dog park and going hiking on trails in the area and would love to take your dog there also! When i'm not working/have a day off I enjoy taking my dogs out with me wherever I go. Lots of pictures and texted updates are always given! Thank you for taking the time to read this, i'm dedicated in keeping your furry friends happy, satisfied, and tired out!

Marissa is absolutely amazing! She is always on time and most importantly extremely communicative and provides may animal pictures and updates. Would recommend her 10/10

Marissa was incredible with our dog Ollie! She went above and beyond while walking and hanging out with him. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Marissa was an amazing dog sitter! Astro absolutely loved seeing her, and she took such great care of him. She sent plenty of updates, communicated clearly, and made the whole experience stress-free. Highly recommend!

We couldn’t be happier with the way Marissa took care of our dog Rocky, she made us feel very relaxed and allowed to enjoy our getaway without worrying about Rocky. We surely would recommend her to anyone who wants to feel comfortable about who is watching their pet and we of course will use Marissa again in the future.
