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 accepted late notice visit for my Dalmatian. She provided photos and took good care of my dog. Sent photos and arrived on time. Would 100% book again, thank you Marissa.


Marissa was great! All of our animals seemed to love her and she did an awesome job communicating. We would feel totally comfortable using her in the future with for our dogs + cat.

Thanks for wearing him out on the long walk!

Marissa is so patient with my older Rosie. She’s kind and direct with her to help get accustomed to their routines. I can tell she really cares about understanding her.
