Pet care experience

Dogs are better than people

Recently lost my 14 year old corgi named Penny. The house feels very empty and since I’m not looking into getting a new dog I thought dog sitting would be a nice option to try. Fenced yard, hardwood floors, easily divided up rooms if needed. I work Monday - Thursday 7:30-5 but if needed would be able to come let a dog out during lunch. I love dogs and would treat any animal as if it was my own.

We are so happy to have found such a caring, thoughtful dog lover in Marissa. We absolutely trust her in our home and with our boy, Norman. Norm adores her and is so happy to see her for walkies!

First off, Marissa is absolutely wonderful with dogs! I have 2 corgi's and Marissa has watched them on several different occasions while my husband and I have been out of town. My dogs can be quite challenging (do not walk well on leashes, bark at everything, and jump on people) however, Marissa is so attentive, patient, and wonderful with them. She walks them each day and gives them all the love in the world. I know that when Marissa is with them, I do not need to worry because she truly cares. She understands dog language and knows how to handle all situations that can occur. If you are looking for an amazing, trust worthy person to care for and walk your dog, I highly recommend using Marissa as she will become your pups friend for life!

A typical day

My neighborhood is a great place for short or long walks. I live 2 blocks from a school with a large field to walk through. If your dog has favorite toys to play with I’m more than happy to sit on the floor and play tug.

New to watching others dogs in my home but my dog loved it here so I’m sure yours will too! I know every dog is different so just let me know any routine your dog needs.
