Adaptable care & comfort

Pet care experience

I'm attentive, willing to play, love to be outside, and care first and foremost about your dog and their comfort. Dogs have always been a priority in my life, having grown up with them as part of my family's home and sitting for dogs of friends whenever I get the chance. Currently, I am available at any point in the day, from early in the morning to late at night, and willing to care for other pets as well. Your trust in my ability to care for your dog is the most important part of this process and I'm willing to answer any questions you may have. I am also a certified Reiki Master, which animals respond well to as it reduces their stress and induces relaxation — I can provide sessions for your precious pets for a small additional fee. I’ve used Reiki on my own pup, Betty, after we adopted her in August 2018 because she’s had a pretty traumatizing life overall. She is well-adjusted, potty trained, and more comfortable around us and other people & their animals than ever and it only gets better! Betty is a 4-year-old Chiweenie who will be staying home with her Dad when I’m on visits, so there’s no worries if your pet doesn’t get along with other dogs. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear from you soon!

She agreed to take care of Smokey at the last minute...I mean I needed someone like within 30mins. She was prompt only thing is she did not lock my door but I'm sure it was due to her not knowing ho0w to lock it. She was great!

Marissa has a firm understanding of how dogs should be treated, which is with love and care. She has had 2 dogs in the past which she cared for deeply until the end of their lives, understanding how to humanely treat them to make them as comfortable as possible. She has been very kind and loving to my dog as well, which says to me that she would be good with dogs as a whole. She is also learning reiki, and as a practitioner myself, I would say this adds to her skillset in caring for dogs, since dogs arare very receptive to reiki energy as well. I would very heavily recommend Marissa to work for Rover as a dog sitter

Information Marissa M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how the dog reacts to other animals and strangers, any health issues to take into consideration, and what the owners are expecting for care. I do not have any breed preferences.

A typical day

Since I cannot have unauthorized dogs on my apartment's property, I will be coming to you. If there's a dog park or regular walking routine they are used to, I will gladly follow those instructions. Whatever your pet needs, I'll be sure to provide.
