Safety, trust & environment

At home, I live with three small, friendly dogs. I will not introduce your pet to mine unless previously discussed. Safety is always number one. I’m very active and enjoy adventuring and long walks.

Please make sure to let me now any temperament details with other animals/people, how much exercise is expected, dietary restrictions, bathroom expectations, leash procedures... I will not introduce your pet to mine unless previously discussed. Safety is always number one. I appreciate any details, because I will treat your pet as my own and ensure its safety and the safety of others around!

A typical day

I am an avid long-walker and enjoy being active! If your pet likes social public parks, I will be happy to take them to any spot you refer. I will be sure to give them what need whether its only short bathroom breaks and good scratches, or ball-chasing energy-draining activities. I will not introduce your pet to mine unless previously discussed. Safety is always number one.

Pet care experience

I’ve always been a go-to pet sitter for my neighbors and friends, whether it be one day or 2 weeks. I have my own dog whom I love like a child, and I will take care of your pet as the same. My dog & I just moved from Colorado to LA and we love hiking, long-walks, mixed with cuddles and play at home. I stay very aware of cars, people, & other animals while outside and always bring poop bags and treats.

Marissa was great with Pooh Bear this morning! She showed up on time, made Pooh Bear feel at ease right away, and the two of them headed out without hesitation. When PB came back, she was all smiles, full of pep, and clearly had a really fun walk. It was obvious Marissa took great care of her, and the whole experience felt smooth and reassuring. Highly recommend.

I can't say enough great things about Marissa and the love she has for my dog Luna. Like many pet owners, my dogs mean the world to me and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is also very flexible and reliable. I highly recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a dog sitting services.
