Pet care experience
Loving Care for Your Pawsome Pal!
I have taken care of pets my entire life! Growing up, my family had 3 dogs (German Shepherd, Lab Mix, and Bichon Frise), along with cats, rabbits, chickens, a hamster, you name it! I love animals like they are MY OWN and pride myself in being a patient, attentive, and loving pet caregiver. Currently, I have a 2 year old rescue dog named Maverick who is my entire world!!! We love to go on plenty of adventures including walks, hikes, and swims! I have experience with dog training and obedience work as well. I am a former elementary school teacher so I have A LOT of patience. :) Additionally, I am very active and know how important daily exercise and stimulation are for all animals. I am excited to meet your sweet furry friends and provide the love, affection, and care that they need!

Safety, trust & environment
I will communicate with you in advance to learn about your unique pet's needs. Whether this involves playing with special toys, letting dogs in and out of the crate, feeding, you name it-I am happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel safe, loved, and cared for! I will communicate with you during and/or after the visit or walk to provide picture(s) and let you know how everything went! As a former teacher, I know how important communication is to help reassure pet parents that their fur babies are in good hands! When it comes to entering other people's homes, I am always respectful of your space and will always leave it just as I found it, if not better. You can count on me to provide quality care!
Ratings and reviews
Goose loves Marissa and I’m always grateful when she can take care of him while I’m traveling. I also appreciate Marissa’s flexibility and patience with schedule changes and last minute requests! Thanks Marissa!
We have used Marissa several times to care for our dog while we were away for a few days, and she is amazing! She treats him like her own, is very responsive, and keeps us informed on how he is doing after all her visits. She took great care of him and went out of her way to get him special food when he got sick while we were away. He is always excited to see her when she comes and we will be using her again!
A great visit with Marissa! She’s very accommodating and always sends wonderful updates on Goose. I appreciate her help with him.
Another wonderful visit with Marissa! She took great care of my dog, Goose, and communicated well through updates and pictures. Goose has a new medication since the last time she watched him, and she communicated about when it was administered. Finally, she went above and beyond to make Goose comfortable when there were fireworks and loud noises in the neighborhood. Appreciated her!
Marissa was great. Bear had a great time with her. She took time to get to know him before the walk. They had a great time together.
This was Goose’s third time with Marissa, and she was great, as always! She was flexible with my last minute schedule changes and communicative while we were away. She always gives thorough updates and pictures. Appreciate Marissa dropping in on Goose, and it made our trip less stressful knowing she was there!
