I’ve moved! I’m now offering services in and around Slinger, WI :) With 13 years of experience, you can trust that your pet will be in safe hands. Hello I'm Marissa! I share my life with 5 wonderful dogs, and many, many fish. I am a dog behavior consultant, dog fitness trainer, dock diving instructor, dog hydrotherapist, an AKC Farm Dog certified judge, a UKC Shed Hunting judge, dog sport competitor, and overall dog lover. In my early days working in the industry, I worked in a veterinary office where I learned animal first aid among other skills, and worked as a doggy day care attendant, pet sitter, dog walker, and kennel tech. I have learned a wide knowledge of dog behavior and biology through these jobs and my degree from UK, which helps assist me in providing the best care possible. For our cat lovers, I have lived with cats since the day I was born. While I've shifted my focus onto dogs, I still have a strong knowledge of cat care and can provide your furry friend with a wonderful, safe time while you're away. I am proficient in giving medications in all forms, injections included, and am first-aid trained (not for CPR). I have an affinity for running with dogs, so please ask about providing extra exercise for your pup. I work part-time, so there is lots of availability to take care of your furry friend. Weekend availability varies, so please ask about open dates. As of right now, I can only offer pet sitting at your home. Depending on the type of visit and dog, dogs will get exercise and potty time, their water bowl refreshed and topped off, and a treat, along with any extra care needed (ie. feeding, medication, cuddle time, etc.). Cats will receive their water bowl topped off, their litter box cleaned, fed, cuddles and scratches, and playtime for kitties that like to play. The home will always be checked over for any accidents and to make sure your pet hasn't gotten into anything they shouldn't have.
