About Marissa K.

Safety, trust & environment
I like to replicate your pets’ usual routines and reinforce training so that your pet always knows what to expect from me. I find that training games and play are a great way to bond and to expend extra energy, so your pet will be happy and tired 🐾
Information Marissa K. would like to know about your pet
What are the rules, in terms of food, furniture and barking behavior? I like to enforce your rules so that your dogs can enjoy some consistency while you are away. If you let them on the furniture, but don't let them bark at passers-by, I want to know so that I don't send confusing signals. Also, tell me your command words/signals - I love to practice skills.
A typical day
I love to play outside with dogs, so if you don't have a yard for that, I'd love to take your buddy to the dog park where we can get each other good and tired out. Obedience training (with treats!) is a fun way I like to bond with dogs, so tell me your command words and we'll do some practicing while you're away! Same goes for cats!

Pets
Corktown's premier dog-walker!
Pet care experience
As a long-time volunteer for Michigan Humane as a dog-walker and foster home, I am comfortable working with animals of all shapes and sizes! I have fostered dozens of animals over the years, and am comfortable administering medication as well as patiently building trust with more fearful pets. Breaking up the day with a walk is a great way to provide your dog with enrichment, while reducing the accidents and improving overall behavior. Let me reinforce your dog's training with a midday walk and enrichment session. I can't wait to become buddies!
Cat care experience
Marissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Thanks so much, Marissa! We really appreciated of the pictures and extra attention given to Cougar!
Marissa is always amazing - great communication, thorough, and you can tell she truly cares about your pets. I'm so grateful that we found someone we can trust to give our cat's medication as well.
Careful attention to our kitties' individual personalities. Always feel great having Marissa sit with them!
Marissa took care of my dog so well when I was away, including plenty of walks and playtime. He absolutely loves her. Thanks again, Marissa!
