10+ years experience, flex schedule

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs at home for 10+ years, and I’ve been a dog sitter for about 5 years. I am punctual, organized, and reliable, and I’ll do my best to make this job as easy for you as it can possibly be! I love being active, so if you have an energetic dog, no need to worry. I’ve also cared for and lived with senior dogs before, and I’m comfortable giving oral medications. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friend, and I hope you’ll find me a great fit!

Marissa is great! She sent us pics of Bert and Reggie every day. She kept the house clean and tidy and we could tell the dogs were so well taken care of!! Highly recommend Marissa for pet sitting ?

I came home to a filthy smelly house. There was urine all over the floor she cleaned up two piles of dog poop but did not really clean them you can see on the rug where it was. It is just another confirmation of the younger generation that doesn't go above and beyond. I was shocked. There was another pile of poop that had been there for over 12 hours I understand that she has two jobs but my dog was stressed and had to pee and poop in her house. If I had it to do all over again I wouldn't have done that I was going to tip this woman and was so upset when I came back from my long trip I had to clean for an hour bleaching everything she never cleaned the dog bowl she just kept putting wet and dry food into the bowl. Who does that? I'm very thorough and I'm very meticulous I was super disappointed

Marissa is wonderful! It was my puppy's first overnight away and I came home to a happy, healthy, relaxed pup that clearly was given great attention and care. So appreciated!

Safety, trust & environment

I intend on keeping your pet(s) as safe as possible, whether that’s by using a leash while outside, keeping them in a crate while they’re alone, or whatever else you prefer. I know how important it is for your pet to be safe and well taken care of, so I won't do anything to your pet that I wouldn't do to my own. (:

Information Marissa O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs beforehand; I’m very flexible and open to learning how to care for a pet that requires more attention/care.

A typical day

I love to play fetch with dogs, and go on walks or runs. I also love trips to the dog park, so the possibility for walks and play time is endless!
