About Marissa R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When meeting cats and dogs for the first time, i’m careful to watch for any behavioral signs that might tell me they need space, or more time to warm up. I know the power of a good treat, and make sure to use plenty so your pet knows i’m their friend! I pay close attention to each animal’s needs and boundaries, and also where they like to be scratched or pet best!

Pet care experience
Hi, i’m Risa! I’m 28 years old and living in Lakewood with my 5yr old cat named Ponyo. P.S. she’s fully trained to sit, spin and jump! I have had pets from birds and rabbits, to cats and dogs all my life. I have experience walking breeds like Dachshunds, Belgian Malinois, Doodles, and more, as well as many years sitting for both dogs and cats. Additionally, I have my certificate of completion for the Fear Free Program to better help reduce and prevent fear, stress, anxiety, and frustration in pets. I’d love to meet your cats and dogs, and make sure they get all the exercise, stimulation and TLC they need while you’re away!

Reviews
Marissa was super communicative, thoughtful with our pup, and sent lots of pictures! Would hire Marissa again without a doubt!
Thank you for the long walk and taking him last minute! He got his exercise ☺️
Marissa was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! One of them is very anxious and easily scared, while the other tends to overreact to everything, so leaving them with someone new is never easy. Marissa made them feel so loved, comfortable, and safe that neither of them panicked while I was away. It was clear she treated them like her own and gave them plenty of attention and care. Knowing my dogs were happy and relaxed gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn't recommend Marissa more highly and will definitely trust her with my pups again!
Punctual. Dependable. Caring. Marissa has supported my herd (3 dogs + 1 cat) time and time again. From mid-day checkins to multi-day coverage, she has done it all for us and will continue to be my go-to for pet sitting needs.
