Responsible & Caring Dog Lover

Hello! My name is Marissa and I am a HUGE dog lover! I have been caring for dogs through high school, college and now during my spare time as a public school teacher! I can do drop by visits to feed, walk and play while owners are out for the day or away for a few nights. As the owner of a diabetic senior dog who receives multiple medications and insulin injections daily, I know how overwhelming it can be to leave your fur baby in the hands of someone else. I promise to give your dog the love and care they need while you aren’t home. Please reach out so we can arrange a meet and greet. I am looking forward to meeting more canine friends!!

Marissa was fantastic. Excellent communication throughout, very flexible with a short-notice schedule change, and took great care of Peanut during all of his walks. Highly recommended.

Marissa was so great with our brand new puppy, Lola! She was so caring and thoughtful and had the BEST updates. We were so nervous leaving our baby alone but we felt so good with her in the care of Marissa.

We had 2 dogs when Marissa first began assisting us when we were out of town. She is extremely responsible and really paid attention to the needs of each dog. This was especially important since one of our dogs needed more than one medication at different times.Marissa is reliable and trustworthy too.

I have known Marissa for over nine years and have seen her grow into mature young lady. She started her own cake baking business, and now venturing into dog sitting. She has watched my dog overnight and even took him to her house to sleep! She’s very organized, caring, and loving towards animals and people! She even sat and played with Bruce, my dog, after she took him for a long walk. Bruce is very happy when he sees her come in the door, and is very content with her. Marissa has her own dog as well, that she has had for many years and takes excellent care of him.

Marissa has been phenomenal with my two dogs!! She is incredibly trustworthy. Marissa goes above and beyond taking care of my dogs and she is willing to go the extra mile to make sure they are well taken care of! She spends plenty of time walking and playing with them. Additionally, she is very easy to get in contact with and she is great with accommodating any last minute changes. My dogs always seem very happy and healthy when she takes care of them. I highly recommend her!

Marisa is a very reliable dog sitter. She has watched my 12 year-old several Pomerian times over the years and I was always confident that she would walk Reese when I asked, follow instructions that I left, and treat Reese kindly. When I felt I would be gone rather long, I asked Marissa to stay a little while with Reese to keep her company and I was assured that she did. I felt 100% confident to leave my loving dog in Marisa's good hands.

It is important to me that we have a meet and greet session before I care for your dog and I do have a couple of basic questions of my own I like to ask ahead of time. I also keep my phone nearby when watching dogs and ask that you do the same in case there are any issues.
