Pet care experience

Caring and responsible pet sitter

Hi there! I’m Marissa—a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have spent years looking after pets for friends, family, and clients. From structured walks and mealtime routines to play sessions and plenty of snuggles, I know how to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m reliable, responsive, and confident in handling a wide range of canine needs. Whether you’re looking for a quick drop-in visit or dependable overnight care, you can count on me to treat your pet like my own. And of course, you’ll get plenty of photo updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away.

Doggy Day Care • nov. 28, 2025

Marissa and her husband were just great!! She sent plenty of photos and took our Gracie on several nice walks. I could tell she had a great time with them.

Marissa is always so thoughtful and caring to our pup! When we go out of town, he gets a vacation with her too! He’s always happy and well taken care of when he comes home. We’re so grateful for her care!!

Marissa was amazing with Fenway! She kept me updated all weekend with thoughtful messages and great pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. Fenway was clearly happy, comfortable, and having the best time in her care. He came home relaxed and it was obvious he was well taken care of. I really appreciated how responsive and attentive she was. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

Marissa was great. I felt so good about leaving our Stormie with her for the weekend. I know from the pictures that Marissa sent that Stormie had all she needed, lots of walks, tummy rubs and love. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large open yard with plenty of space to run and play! There is a lake below our property which is perfect if they enjoy a dip. I also have a large living area with cozy rugs to relax on. Be assured any animal in my home will be well looked after and loved like my own.

A typical day

I love working to stimulate your dog both physically and mentally. We will play games outside in the yard, wade in the lake if they like and take in the many smells around them.
