Information Marissa J. would like to know about your pet

All I ask is to be told whether your dog or cat is aggressive or not, as I have a compromised immune system and could get quite sick if bitten or scratched and it breaks the skin. I also have my own pet in the house so I have to ensure their safety as well.

A typical day

Mental and physical stimulation is important! We can play with all of your pets favorite toys and they can play until they are content and worn out

Marissa’s home is so welcoming that my pup settles in just like it’s her own house. She gets to play with her new friends. I know that when I pick her up she’s going to be both excited to see me but sad to leave such a great home! We will continue to have Marissa watch my pup knowing she’s in amazing hands!!

Marissa took amazing care of my Storm during her stay. She had non-stop fun with her puppy and sent lots of photos and videos! We will definitely be going back so Storm can have fun play dates! I can’t recommend Marissa enough! 100/10!!

Marissa is an amazing and responsible person. She will care for your dog like her own. My dog has a great time and I appreciated everyday updates she would send of him. She also did his grooming which came out really well. Marissa will definitely be one of the first person I would think of if I ever need a sitter again. Thank you so so much Marissa! 😊

Marissa was amazing and took the absolute best care of my pup! I can tell that my pup got all the love, attention, and had an absolute blast. Marissa was amazing with switching my pickup dates due to my work changing my schedules last minute. She also bathed, groomed, and trimmed her nails which was a cherry on top of my pups stay! We will definitely be going back so my pup can have the best time ever!
