Pet care experience

The purr-fect petsitter

I've taken care of dogs since the age of 11 and I have 4+ years of experience at a dog daycare/boarding facility. I have a big heart for dogs, especially brachycephalic breeds and seniors. My dream pup is a boxer and I strive to help any pup I come across, especially strays and have fostered many pups in the past. I regularly provide neighbors dogs with nail trims, baths, and have provided boarding, in home, drop-in and overnight care for pets of all sizes. I have two small dogs at one, one being a pug puppy who is still learning manners, however both of my pups love making new friends, especially with bigger dogs and Finnegan is great at bringing shy dogs out of their shell.

Marissa is very sensitive to my dog's needs and made our vacation easy. Our girls have many medications and special feeding instructions, all of which were followed to the letter. I would greatly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced and loving sitter.

Marissa was wonderful! I will definitely ask her to stay with Macy again. She was punctual, sweet, and took great care of Macy. I appreciate her!

Great sitter! Marissa arrived on time and gave my dog lots of love and attention. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. I would highly recommend having her watch your pets.

Marissa was great and I can’t thank her enough for taking care of Foxy. I loved all the pictures and videos she sent and I could tell that my dog was in the perfect hands. Can’t wait to rebook!
