Pet care experience

Dog lover to care for your baby!

Hello all! I am a huge dog lover with over 15 years of experience in caring for pets. I recently lost my job due to Covid but am looking at it as a blessing in disguise. I have been caring for pets as a side job over the years but have always wanted to start my own doggy daycare so I am hoping to build up my clientele here! I look forward to meeting your furry family and loving them as my own! Pet care is my number one focus. This means I am completely available at any point during the day or night and can do weekdays or weekends! Unfortunately, I live in a condo that does not allow pets so I am able to take care of yours in your home whether you are going away or just need a drop-in visit.

Marissa is amazing! We came home to a happy pooch and a clean home. She kept us updated throughout our whole vacation and loved our fur baby like her own. We will 100% be using her again! Thank you Marissa!

This review is long overdue! I have been using Marissa for about a year now give or take for twice weekly drop ins. I have a senior diabetic pomeranian and a 3 year old highly energetic Border Collie and both of my dogs seem to love Marissa! We always get pictures of our smiling pups and it is clear they have a good time during the visit. Marissa is not only great with our dogs, but she is reliable, trustworthy, and will go the extra mile to accommodate bookings. We never come home to any accidents, and she is always kind enough to bring our packages in front the porch. This holiday season she surprised us with a goodie bag with some things for our dogs AND us! It just goes to show how thoughtful and caring she is. I would absolutely recommend booking with Marissa!

Marissa is fabulous! We hired her to housesit, dog watch, and chicken tend for 2 weeks for our trip to Italy. She did an amazing job. She handled a crisis with my dog beautifully, collected many, many eggs, kept our chickens happy, and our house was well looked after. My house was cleaner than I left it and she even washed the sheets so I could come home and crash on clean sheets! She sent updates and pics of our fur baby often. In the past, my dog has seemed slightly off when we get home but this time, as excited as he was to see us, he was happy as a clam and totally regulated. I can not recommend Marissa enough!

We just got back from an over night trip to two very happy dogs! Marissa did a fantastic job from start to finish. She is quick to respond, put us at ease about leaving our dogs, spent way more time with them than she had to, and is just such a warm and friendly person. Will absolutely rebook with her for our future trips.

Marissa is very easy to work with, and has been very patient and kind with my dog for drop in visits.

I am open to any and all breeds of dogs. I have experience with small dogs such as Chihuahuas to larger dogs like Pit Bulls and Shepards. If they have any special needs just let me know and I'm sure I can accommodate them!
