Will Love Your Pet As My Own!!

I've always felt very connected and had a deep understanding of our four-legged friends since I was a child. I've had dogs my whole life. I can provide exercise and playtime with your furry friend as I love staying active myself. I can also crate if needed. My sweet boy Romeo who was a cockapoo, recently passed away. I successfully potty trained and taught him all the tricks he knew. He required special care and medication that I was able to give to him.

Marissa was the perfect sitter for our girl. She has a cozy home complete with all the essentials - dog blankets, chewies and sidewalks for walks. More than that, Marissa is a dog lover and made my dog her priority during the stay, with the photos of her tucked in under blankets to prove it 😂 I’m very lucky to have found her and will def be booking again!

Marissa is incredible! She was thoughtful, provided updates and photos. She’s also a great communicator, which I’m forever grateful for. Highly recommend and if we were local we would definitely have her as a sitter.

Marissa has been outstanding in caring for and communicating with me regarding my Frenchy. Her home is a safe and “warm” environment for pets - so much so that I hope my Frenchy wants to come back home with me and not stay with Marissa - haha !

Marissa was wonderful with our dog! She made sure she had everything she needed to know, and took wonderful care of her while she was away.

Safety, trust & environment

You can trust that I will follow your routines as closely as possible. I will create a relaxing, safe and stress-free environment where they can hang out comfortably in their own home. i Will provide updates and pictures to put your mind at ease and make you feel comfortable knowing that your fur baby is in the best hands. Being a dog walker or dog sitter isn't just about walking dogs to me. It's about building a connection with the animals you care for and making a positive impact on their lives while giving you the peace of mind that they are being loved and cared for.

A typical day

As a dedicated dog walker and sitter I'm committed to ensuring your dog has the time of their life during their stay with me. I believe in making their time away from home just as enjoyable and enriching as possible. Here are some special things and activities your pup can look forward to during their stay: 1. Personalized Attention: Your dog will receive individualized care and attention tailored to their specific needs and preferences. From their favorite toys to their preferred belly rub spots, I'll make sure they feel right at home. 2. Playtime Galore: We'll have plenty of interactive play sessions with their favorite toys, stimulating their physical and mental abilities. Whether it's tug-of-war, fetch, or puzzle games, your pup will be engaged and entertained. 3. Nature Adventures: I love taking dogs on nature walks, and your pup will be no exception. We'll explore nearby parks, nature trails, or dog-friendly beaches, allowing them to soak in the sights and smells of the great outdoors. 4. Cuddles and Comfort: Lots of love and affection are guaranteed! I'll provide plenty of snuggles, ear scratches, and cozy nap times to ensure your dog feels safe, loved, and cherished throughout their stay. 5. Tasty Treats: With your permission, I'll treat your dog to special, healthy snacks that they love. Whether it's their favorite biscuits or homemade treats, they'll have something delicious to look forward to. 6. Peaceful Relaxation: Some dogs prefer quiet and serene moments, and I'll be attuned to their needs. I'll create a peaceful environment for them to relax and unwind when they need a break from play. 7. Updates and Photos: To keep you connected with your furry friend, I'll send you regular updates and photos, so you can see just how much fun they're having during their stay.
