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!
Reviews
Our kitties love her visits. So good to know they are getting thoughtful attention while we're away.
Always leaves a detailed update on the our kitties' demeanor while we're gone so we know how they're doing when get back. Will book again!
Marissa was amazing!! She was so attentive to my cat’s needs while I was out of town, very communicative, and flexible with dropping off/ picking up keys. She went above and beyond what I expected in her care for my cat. 💛
Great communication and our kitties are excited for her visits. Will book again!

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!
