Offering Experience and Love! 🐾❤️

Pet care experience

My entire life I have loved animals and have had a few pooches, kittens and other little creatures of my own. There is no animal that I wouldn't love to watch. One thing I can promise you is that every animal in my care will be treated with love and as my own. For those of you who work long days I also offer dog walking so that your pooch can stretch out their legs. I have many years of experience working in dog kennels, pet sitting, and working as a pet groomer. I’m an experienced pet groomer as well. So if you need your pooch or kitty groomed or bathed while your gone I can make that happen! With working in dog kennels and as a groomer I am experienced and comfortable with working with animals of different temperaments as well as animals with special needs. I am also very comfortable and experienced in administering medication to both cats and dogs. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs and cats my entire life and always loved them. I love working with them and couldn’t have chosen a better career for myself. My experience administering medication I have beed trained in administering medication and am very comfortable with it.

Really great experience - Marissa came to our house over Christmas to care for our two dogs - everything went very well - Marissa came across as very organized and professional - hope to use her again!

As always Marissa is such a treat to have. Riley (a rescue with trust issues) loves her. We get such piece of mind knowing Riley can stay at home where he is comfortable and be such well taken care of while we are away.

My pups were so calm & relaxed when I came home- you would have thought I had walked to the end of the driveway instead of being gone for a week! Getting the updates gave me great peace of mind. Thank you Marissa! I will definitely use her again.

She was very good with him and sent me picture updates :). I'm using her often and he gets along great with her dog.

Information Marissa K. would like to know about your pet

I love and am comfortable with all breeds! Before sitting them I would love to know their temperament, potty schedule, eating schedule, any types of allergies and/or medications they might be on, basic commands, if they are crate trained.

Extra house-sitting services Yes, I am willing to do additional tasks. Anything too keep your time away from home stress free!
