Pet care experience

Full time dog walking & pop by’s

⭐️Just moved back to Hawaii.⭐️ I have been around dogs of all sizes, cats, and horses all my life. I grew up pet sitting and love taking care of different animals. My pets have traveled with me all over the world, as I am a military spouse. I would love to give your pet the attention they deserve while you are out of town, at work, or out for a night of fun. I have an 8-year-old German Shepard and a 3-year-old Ragdoll cat who are very well behaved and love other dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your fur children! ❤️

Awesome communication and great with our Smokey cat! Highly recommend. She even added a few extra drop in visits. Above and beyond!

Marissa was an incredible sitter for our dog, Pickles. She was a great communicator and her love of dogs showed from the moment she walked in. Due to a relocation, we won't have the pleasure of using her again. I am super happy we had this one opportunity to work with her. I would 100-percent recommend her to others.

I can’t recommend Marissa enough! She took exceptional care of both our cat and dog while we were away. Our furry friends were clearly well-loved and happy during our absence, and Marissa provided regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. Her reliability, and genuine care for our pets went above and beyond our expectations. We felt completely confident that our home and pets were in excellent hands, and we would welcome her back without hesitation. Highly recommended!

Marissa is your dream house sitter! She spent so much time with our dogs they probably didn’t want us to come home! Lol! Reliable, trustworthy and very kind! You will not be disappointed! My only complaint is that she doesn’t charge enough! She is worth much more! Thank you Marissa!

Pets

A typical day

I will take your pups for walks, play fetch in the yard or check out a nearby park so that they will have lots of time to run around or lay around, whatever they prefer.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Any weird nuances that is not typical. Ex: Are they possessive of toys or balls? Do they need to be feed separately? (Even if I keep a close watch on each feeding time) Can they get jealous if they are not getting all the attention and lash out?
