Information Marissa H. would like to know about your pet

Age, temperament, food allergies, food & bathroom schedule. I would also like to know if your dog likes other dogs, what frightens him/her. The more I know about your pet, the better I can take care of him/her.

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.

I will treat your dog like my own.

Pet care experience

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.

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.
