Passionate about dogs/dog lover

I am 31 years old and love doing this as a side gig. I have dog sat many family members and friends dogs while they were away. I love all dogs whether they be big or small. I have a Shiba Inu and a cat. I am a dog lover and find joy in seeing dogs happy. I hope to get more dogs in the future once I have a house with a big back yard and plenty of room to play. Many of my coworkers recommend me to friends to watch their furry children while they are on vacation. I am also good with any other animal such as cats. I cannot board your animals at my house but I am more then willing to house sit so your dog feels more comfortable in their own home.

Great communication with us while we were away. Great with dogs. Very happy with Marissa and would definitely recommend.

We are so happy that we found Marissa! We took a long weekend trip out of town and it was so nice to be able to leave our cat and dog at home. Marissa sent frequent photo and message updates and our pets seemed so relaxed when we got home (our dog can be anxious but he was calm and happy!) thank you again, Marissa!

Marissa took great care of our hound with a last minute booking. She stayed at our house and our dog Lola seemed calm and relaxed when we came home. Marissa was quick to respond and sent a few pictures of the weekend. I'd use her again!

Marissa really helped us out on short notice and was able to come by to walk my dogs while we were away for the day. She was prompt with her communication, accommodating, and very friendly! We'll definitely try to book her again in the future!

Marissa did great with our two boxers and keeping us updated on how things were going. We were concerned with how scared our male boxer is with new people and from the pictures we received it looks like they were best buds by the end of the weekend. Thank you Marissa!
