Information Marissa S. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know the personality of your pup. Do they love to go on long walks, are they speedy or laid back? Do they enjoy runs? How about other dogs, will they enjoy playing with others, making new friends, are they shy, or perhaps not interested in engaging with other pups? Are they snuggly or very independent? What's their favorite toy, or game to play? Fetch, tug-o-war, keep away? I look forward to having fun times with tons of love and play time!

A typical day

My favorite thing to do with furry friends is whatever makes them happiest! I also enjoy downtime with four-legged friends such as lounging around, watching TV, or reading a book. During rainy days I love to play some tug-o-war, practice simple training, or take a cozy nap!

Exceptional Care for Your Pet

Pet care experience

I enjoy every opportunity I get to spend some time with furry friends. I am proud to be the person that family and friends contact when they need someone to care for their loved one. While I’m your pet’s primary caregiver, my fiancé (Roland Garrett), and I are both lifelong animal lovers and work together to make sure your pet feels right at home! We are two active individuals and we are full of energy when it comes to playing fetch, going for long walks, or even just giving some belly rubs. As we are young and travel frequently, we don’t have a pet of our own, but all pets are loved as if they were ours!

I can tell from the pictures Marissa sent that Roscoe had a great stay. She is so kind and goes above & beyond to make him feel extra comfortable. It feels like it's Roscoe's second home. I am so thankful we found her and Garrett to care for my senior boy!

It’s always a special treat when Otis gets to go and spend time with Marissa and Garrett. You can see how much they love him and his tail never stops wagging💕I’m so glad I have Marissa and I am very confident she will take great care of Otis and I love getting the pictures which tell me how happy he is. I highly recommend Marissa.

Marissa and Garrett provided wonderful care for Roscoe once again. I love that they enjoy having him around and are supportive of his needs. Marissa communicates very well, sends pictures, and keeps me updated. Roscoe enjoyed having another furry friend around during part of this stay too. I am grateful to have a sitter I trust to watch Roscoe so my husband and I are able to get away from time to time. Thank you again Marissa and Garrett!
