Highlights
Pet care experience
I will treat your dog like my own.
I am a loving, wife and mom of two grown children and had a wonderful Norfolk Terrier (pictured below) who was the family's best friend. After 14 wonderful years, we lost our beloved "Timo"; and as his primary caregiver, I miss him so much. I am not ready to get a new dog full time, but would love to help you out and watch your doggie...it would be a win/win for us both! I have a large, clean apartment and live in a very walkable neighborhood....I can also come to your house if you need me to look in and walk your dog during the day. My schedule is very flexible and can dog sit for overnight stays (my house only). I look forward to meeting your best friend soon! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I am available all day (from early morning to evening), so I can keep to whatever walk/potty/exercise routine you need. Also, I am happy to host your pet overnight and for longer stays. My neighborhood is very walkable so if your doggie likes to take walks, I have lots of places to take him/her. Also, our building complex has a dog run where your pal can "hang" with other dogs.

a wonderful experience. My dog had the best time with Marissa.
Marissa treated Daisy like her own—caring, reliable, and kept me updated the whole time! Marissa was wonderful with my dog, Daisy! She invited me to stop by her house the day before so I could meet her and see where Daisy would be staying, which made me feel so at ease. While I was away, she kept me updated with messages and the sweetest photos. I could tell she truly cared—she found little ways to make Daisy feel safe, happy, and right at home. I’d trust her with Daisy anytime!
Marissa was amazing with my dog Lucky. She came over ahead of time to meet him and ensure that I felt comfortable. While he was with her, she communicated often and sent photos. Most importantly, Marissa sought different ways to make Lucky feel at home and relaxed while we were away. Highly recommend Marissa for your pet needs!
Marissa was great with our dog while we were on vacation! She sent frequent updates and pictures. It was clear that he was being well cared for and received lots of love while we were away.
Marissa is fantastic! We had an overseas trip for 8 days and she took such great care of our girl Ms Stevie. We received multiple pictures and videos and chats everyday. It really made me so happy seeing our girl adjusting better than i could have hoped for. We have been home for 2 days and our girl has been so happy no grudge held against us which tells me she felt loved and safe with Marissa. We will definitely be using Marissa in the future. Everything was easy from communicating to delivering our dog to her and bringing her home. Thank you Marissa for helping us enjoy traveling and not feeling guilty having to leave our girl behind.
I can't recommend Marissa enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog boarder. From the moment I dropped off Bam Bam, I knew he was in great hands. Marissa's genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction, and she went above and beyond to make sure Bam Bam felt comfortable, safe, and happy during his stay. She provided regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind, and it was clear from the photos and messages that Bam Bam was having the best time. If you're looking for someone who treats your pet like family, Marissa is the one! I will definitely be booking with her again.

Schedule
I am home most of the day and would only leave for 2-3 hours at most. I work from home so I can be there to play with and take your puppy out for walks/potty breaks during the day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment complex with a dog run, I can also live a near a park with a small lake that I can walk around if your dog likes long walks.
Pets
A typical day
Walk, play "tug of war" and fetch, belly rubs, etc. If your dog likes water, I would take him/her to the beach too. I also like to cuddle/relax with your pet.
