This is currently my only job other than for the tax seasons. During the tax season (January-Early April) I work as a receptionist for a tax office in my town. I am still able to watch your babies for you but during those months my schedule is changed a bit. I am also a single mother so I have certain times I need to get him to and from school.

I live in an apartment so I'm not able to bring them to my house but I care for animals as if they were my children. I always say animals are like children and they should be treated as such. When I had my dog (Phora) she was always with me, she was even my cuddle buddy. If your animal needs certain requirements or you have a specific way of doing things let me know and I will be more than willing to do what ever is needed for you and your babies.

Information Marissa P. would like to know about your pet

If there is anything I need to know specifically about your pet just let me know and I will do everything I can to make sure your babies are very well taken care of ?

A typical day

We will run around and play in the backyard or possibly go to the dog park! If it's not a good day for the park then we can always find ways to have fun around the house!!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs for the majority of my life. I've live with multiple animals other than dogs. I am 27 and I have a 4 year old son. I love all animals as though they were my own child. I will take your pet(s) on walks every day or as much as they are able or need to. Bigger dogs and animals are not a problem, I have high energy for the hyperactive ones as well 😊. I am always reachable by my phone number and I will always get back with you as soon as possible. Currently this is my only form of work other than tax season when I’m a receptionist for a tax office in my town. **My profile may say I sit in my home but I am not allowed to due to my landlord’s rules. I’m so sorry for any inconveniences and I’m willing to work with you on anything 😊💚

Absolutely great. There was a minor emergency she contacted us and took care of it immediately and let us know when everything was settled. My dog absolutely loved her from the photos and videos she sent.
