Dog/fish mom with love to give!
Pet care experience
I have taken care of dogs of all breeds since I was 7. I have a passion for dog training and trained many dogs including family dogs growing up. My sisters rely on me to care for their pets while they are away and I have been there no matter what. More recently I got my first dog on my own in 2022. He is my whole world and we have been through so much together. I have gained more experience with positive reinforcement training, walking, scentwork, and even some fun freestyle tricks. I would love the opportunity to give your pet that same love and care. My dog has separation anxiety and he has given experience with handling this. I understand how hard it can be and want to be here for other pet parents who struggle with that! I am also an avid fishkeeper and have immense experience caring for aquariums of all kinds if that is needed.
Reviews
Marissa is a very dependable, patient, and gentle dog walker. I am very lucky I found her!
Marissa H. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Marissa is cheerful and upbeat with our two dogs on a tandem walk. They are happily exercised and reminded of good manners while walking. Her pictures and walk updates help us see what they did on their neighborhood adventure.
Always takes the best care of our little dog!
About Marissa H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment where your dog will be able to go on furniture, and chill out on the patio if it's nice. My apartment has lots of walking trails & a dog park that rarely has anyone in it. I love taking my dog here to run & fetch since it is usually empty. For the safety of everyone it is important to me that we do a free meet and greet before accepting a booking. This ensures that everyone is on the same page and my furry clients are completely comfortable! I currently only take one client at a time so your dog will get top notch care. I pride myself in being able to understand dog cues, so that I can always give them breaks, rest, solitude, walks, play, as needed. Since I have a dog with separation anxiety, your dog will only be left alone for short periods of time or not at all depending on my schedule. I can ensure that your dog will be safe, comfortable, and happy in my hands.
