Energetic and Caring Pet Lover

Pet care experience

I have an apartment, available for day and overnight stays. I regularly walk dogs as well as home visits. For friends and strangers. I run things out of my own home but don’t mind going to where you are. Dogs are the most genuine and loving creatures. They deserve the best service. I am willing to work with any age and special need. I have been working with dogs professionally for 12 years but have ALWAYS loved them unconditionally. I am also a big fan of cats and any other animal. I look forward to chatting about the animal or animals you have and what you will need from me to help you. I have never met a pet I don’t get along with or can’t work with in some way.

Marissa was wonderful with our old cat: great communication and good heart! I appreciate all the efforts and lack of drama.

I felt so comfortable leaving my senior pup with Marissa! She is clearly a dog lover and showed my baby so much care, evident in her happy demeanor when I came home from a long day. Also, who doesn’t love picture updates?! The best.

Liam always comes home happy and sleepy. Signs of a well exercised and stimulated dog at daycare. Marissa is very communicative and helpful. Thank you again.

Safety, trust & environment

If your pet/s are staying over, they will be following whatever routine they are used to, but they get two new doggos friends on top of that! And lots of new smells. If I am doing a drop in service or dog walk, similarly I will follow whatever special instructions you have given me. I want them to be happy and healthy while you are away.

Information Marissa S. would like to know about your pet

They must be ok with other animals if they are staying over. I’ll need to know any personality traits that are important, allergies and any experiences they’ve had in the past that may have an effect on them today. I have no breed preferences.

A typical day

When a dog stays with me they will receive 24/7 engagement with humans and other dogs. They will go home happy and healthy. We will go on walks and have lots of play time and cuddles.
