Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to go to your home where your pet is likely most comfortable. I can stay overnight when you’re out of town, or swing by during the work day. If your dog needs extra exercise or specific training please let me know so we can modify our adventures. For example, I’m willing to go to the closest dog beach, or a trail run. We can also work on training cues such as the down stay.

We were very pleased with Marissa and the care she provided for our dog. We were impressed by her calm demeanor which was calming to our dog who can be hyper around new people. I would recommend Marissa.

Marissa was excellent! She was incredibly responsive, sent lots of updates throughout the day, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. The moment she walked into our home, we knew Peanut was going to be in great hands. Peanut warmed up to her almost immediately and happily spent the entire day with her. Everything went flawlessly, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about him and made his comfort a priority. We would highly recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter and would absolutely book with her again in the future!

Marissa did a great job with Willis! Morgan and I could tell that she truly cares for and loves spending time with dogs and that was no different for ours. Willis was immediately comfortable around her and seemed to have a great time while we were away. We would not hesitate to book with Marissa again and highly recommend her to anyone!

Marissa was an amazing house sitter. She took excellent care of our home, our plants, and most importantly, our anxious dog who has a sensitive stomach. That’s not an easy situation, but she handled it with so much patience and care. She followed all instructions closely, paid attention to our dog’s needs, and made sure everything stayed consistent to keep him comfortable. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. She was also very reliable, communicative, and respectful of our home. Everything was well taken care of when we returned, and our plants were thriving too. I would absolutely trust Marissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful house sitter.

Marissa is AMAZING!!! We love her and both of our boys love her. She took such good care of them and our house. They went for walks, played ball, hung out in the sun and did lots of snuggle time. I feel like we have finally found our person! I can't recommend her enough. She is simply the best.

Marissa was amazing as always! Took our dog out for hikes, long walks, plenty of love, and also left a very clean house behind. Couldn't recommend her enough

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. My specialty is working with large dog breeds who need the extra exercise. I am more than willing to run with your dog or take your pup to the dog park to play fetch.
