Information Marissa P. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know any possible allergies, medications, behaviors, or special needs of your pups as to give them the best care possible while away from their best-friends!

A typical day

On a typical day, I would take the dog on a long walk, and/or -depending on temper- to the dog park. I provide my clients with plenty of love, and treats!

Pet care experience

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!
