Your dogs’ home away from home
Pet care experience
Playtime. Cuddles. Long walks along the river. Let me lend a helping paw. I’m an aspiring stay at home dog mom, but until then I’m a loving dog sitter, walker, lover. I have always had a pet at home and have been taking care of cats and dogs for 14 years. Since I’ve moved to NYC, I’ve been dog walking, boarding, sitting, and fostering. I take care of pets one at a time - so your pup will be the “main character” and have all my attention. It's scary to leave your pet with another person, but I'll treat your animal like they're my own. I'm a responsible animal lover who is simply in it for the sake of the animal.
Reviews
Marissa was incredibly thorough, kind, and mindful. She provided a questionnaire beforehand so that she had all of the info she needed to ensure my dog had everything she needed. She met me in the park prior to dogsitting to get my very skittish dog familiar and comfortable, she provided frequent updates and pictures to keep me in the loop, was incredibly flexible with the pickup time as my flight was even delayed. Overall this is the best experience I’ve ever had with a dog-sitter and I will be contacting her first the next time I need to leave town. Thank you!!
Marissa was great! She was on time, able to pick up Mocha without me being home. She went on a nice long walk with mocha and took lots of pictures along the way! Thank you :)
Marissa Pastre LOVES dogs! She took amazing care of our Shichon including teaching him tons of tricks. She is gentle but firm and highly responsible. Your dogs will be walked safely and given lots of TLC.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’ll cater to your dog's specific needs. That might mean lots of mental stimulation, treats for rewarding focused walks, or a casual stroll in a quiet neighborhood away from other dogs to make them feel safe. For dog sitting, I have toys and treats for training and stimulation throughout the day with a comfortable space for a good night’s sleep.
Home
Information Marissa P. would like to know about your pet
When sitting/boarding, I’ll ask you to fill out a form that will have you explain your dog’s behavior and routine. That way, I can mirror your day to day at my home.
A typical day
I love long walks and jogs and have Central Park and the Hudson River each 2 blocks away from me. I have lots of time in my day to play and have fun.
