Lots of experience, flexible

Pet care experience

I have been housesitting and pet sitting for over 12 years. I have lots of experience with animals of all kinds and all ages. From dogs to bearded dragons I have cared for them all. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to work with your needs. I am willing to stay in your home or drop by for walks and visits. I am happy to provide references and have an excellent background. I have house sat for many families and have cared for their pets as well. I am a responsible professional looking for some extra work. Last minute requests are OK. I am happy to work with your schedule. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet.

Marissa watched my pet Millie while I was on vacation. She came over daily to feed and spend time with Millie. Millie was so well taken care of! Marissa would send a text or picture of Millie playing, relaxing or getting some extra pats and love. She went above and beyond my expectations and make me feel at ease with leaving my fur baby in her hands. I highly recommend Marissa. Her love of animals is strong and it shows in her care.

Safety, trust & environment

I walk daily myself, so love to take dogs for long walks or hikes. I understand that some animals feel more comfortable in their own home, so I am happy to stay with them and give them all the love and attention they need while their owners are away! I know it can be hard leaving your pet, and it can be hard for them too! I am always happy to send pictures throughout the day, keep the dogs busy with walks and activities, and of course lots of snuggles.

Information Marissa D. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to administer medication, special diets, etc depending on your dogs needs. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet if they have any special needs, so I am very attentive to detail. Please let me know if they are a chewer, an escape artist, have a nervous tummy, etc so that I can be prepared!

A typical day

I love to take dogs on long walks or hikes! I don’t mind taking them in my car, so we can go wherever! I know a lot of great trails and places to walk that are dog friendly!
