Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, and any special needs. I’m very patient and gentle, especially with shy or anxious cats, and I make sure they get attention while also respecting their space. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority.
Home
Information Marissa I. would like to know about your pet
like to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time so I can give them the best care possible. This includes feeding schedules, energy level, behavior around other animals, and any medical needs. I’m very patient and can adjust to shy, energetic, or anxious pets to make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
A typical day
I like to match each pet’s energy and personality. For dogs, that can mean walks, playtime, and letting them explore and get their energy out, along with plenty of attention and affection. For cats, I focus on gentle play, enrichment, and keeping them comfortable in their routine. I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.

Reviews

Marissa did a great job taking care of my dog, and was very easy to communicate with. She provided updates and went above and beyond to make my very nervous dog feel more comfortable. Her dogs are also very friendly and tried their hardest to be friends with my shy puppy. Maybe next time my dog will play with them.

Marissa was fantastic at working with us to accommodate a very busy couple of weeks. She was super helpful and flexible, feeding and treating our pup. Would definitely recommend!

Marissa was great!

Marissa provided outstanding care to our 2 year old golden. We booked a week with Marissa for doggie day care while I was in town in a work trip. I’ll definitely be rebooking with Marissa!
