Safety, trust & environment

I can watch your pet in their own familiar environment to hopefully keep them from having the fear and anxiety of being in a new home, I’ll try to keep your usual routine! I will show them lots of love while engaging them in whatever playful activities they prefer!

Information Marissa P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pets temperaments, what they like and don’t like. And if there’s anything medically that I should know to keep your pet safe!

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks and even mini hikes in our beautiful Carolina mountainsif you are comfortable with that! I think stimulating pets with fun activities daily is important whether it’s going for walks, playing games, or even just petting/ brushing them! Whatever your pet likes I’m down for (:

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a toddler. I’ve always been a big pet lover and currently have two dogs and three cats of my own. I understand every pet is unique and has their own personalities and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have pet sat for neighbors and friends since I was a teenager! I am easy to work with and very responsible, I’m here for whatever you need!

Marissa was great with my dog! He got to play with their pup the whole time. Frequent updates, friendly service, and wonderful care all around!
