Safety, trust & environment

I will always aim to give the absolute best care I can give to your furry baby while you are away enjoying your time!! I also love to document moments, so of course I would send a ton of photos:)

Information Marissa O. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know things like triggers (ex: my dog doesn’t like her butt rubbed), things I need to watch out for (ex: your dog likes to chew cords or has to pee frequently), and any health concerns or conditions (ex: food allergies)

A typical day

I love going for walks first of all, but sometimes I will do fun engagement on the walks like a stop and go game. Where every time there is a driveway we stop then sit and then continue, this also goes for sidewalks. It keeps them engaged and focused on you. I also love enrichment toys and have a ton of them for my dogs. I also love to be outside so even just playing with toys in the yard is something I would do!

Pet care experience

I am officially a certified dog trainer through Penn Foster!! I adore dogs but love all animals in general ❤️ I have 4 dogs of my own and a bearded dragon! I currently balance working at Wheaton Animal Hospital as a kennel attendant and a bather. In the past I have worked at Camp Ruff It as a daycare attendant, so I have worked with multiple dogs at a time. Occasionally do nail trims as well!!
