Let Me Love Your Dog!

Pet care experience

**Rates are negotiable/I provide individualized rates!** I have been a sitter on Rover for 6 years (including working at their corporate office), but have spent my life around dogs. I recently have a dog friendly apartment and have decided to offer boarding again! I will be your dog's best friend- I brake for ALL dogs! I'm the type of person who will go out of their way to say hi to your dog (if it seems like parents and dogs are ok with it) I work full time ten blocks away. I live within 3 blocks of TWO vet hospitals, and have a car for adventures and emergencies if necessary. My home in the middle of Capitol Hill is central to no less than five parks and two dog parks. I am very flexible and go with the flow- my house is your dog's kingdom while they are here. I am happy to follow all training and rules mom and dad lay out, but your dog WILL get all the belly rubs and snuggles they want no matter what! I require a meet and greet before booking, and my clients should know that its a possibility that I take up to two dogs at a time- but not before assessing compatibility. I also have processes in place for safely feeding separately and separating little friends that may need more space and care.

My dog Lua is so happy when she stays with Marissa. I feel she completely forgets about me! Marissa sends lots of updates and follows care instructions. I am grateful for Marissa! Thank you!

Marissa helped us out last minute and did a great job watching Bear at our apartment. We really appreciated the photos! :)

Information Marissa D. would like to know about your pet

Before we meet, l like to know if your pets have anxiety issues, and what helps them through it, allergies, any specific preferences- l like to have a little treat or toy waiting for my first time visitors. I would like to know how your dog does with other dogs, people, and animals. I want to make sure that everything is comfortable as possible for them. I do not mind dogs with behavior issues, but do want to know ahead of time.

A typical day

I tailor my stays to the dog's activity level and pet parent's wishes! I love taking my dog pals out for walks, visits to dog friendly establishments, and generally try to give my four legged clients a mini vacation of their own while away from mom and dad. I'm also happy to set up facetime or skype dates so you can keep in touch in real time.
