Pet care experience

I will treat your dog like my own.

Hello I am 24 year old massage therapist who works in PC but lives in Sandy. Benji and I are a package deal. When I do house visits Benji will come with me :) Benji is my soulmate I got him when I was 17. we went to puppy classes but other than that he is trained by me. He is a very polite well behaved gentleman. I grew up with dogs and they have always been part of my life. I understand that your dog is your whole life that is why I promise to give them the best care possible. I believe that dogs give us unconditional love, that is why my goal in caring for your dog is to give them that unconditional love right back. Dogs deserve a space where there is no extra stress so they can play and grow. It is my duty as an animal lover to provide that space for your best friend.

House Sitting • Nov 10, 2022

Marissa was AMAZING with our three dogs. We were out of town for a week, and she was able to navigate her way thru each of their personalities, any issues that arose, winning trust and confidence from each dog. One of the dogs, Aerie, is a rescue and has trust issues, and Marissa found a way to win her over to the point of getting kisses and hugs! She stayed at our home, and did a great job keeping the house safe and tidy. We received daily updates and her communication level was amazing. I would highly recommend her for dog sitting or walking, she is very trustworthy, caring and capable.

Marissa did a wonderful job with our two dogs while we were away for a week! Flapjack can be a handful he’s a herding dog that sometimes nips and takes a while to warm up. He and Marissa got along great! Also, the house looked wonderful when we came home, thanks Marissa!

Marissa has been the best! She’s walked my Aussie doodle every day the past month and they’ve made the sweetest bond. She always adds the cutest photos and details about their walks and is so attentive and in tune with his personality. She also took it upon herself to help work on a few leash training skills with him which I have appreciated tremendously. I can’t recommend Marissa enough! She truly goes above and beyond.

Marissa was great with our dogs and knew all the right questions to ask. We have one dog is is afraid of strong wind and thunder and Marissa showed a great deal of concern and support. Thanks Marissa!

Benji and I enjoy a nice walk with a cup of coffee every morning. On the days I work he sits at home on the couch. When I come home the first thing we do is go to the nearest park for ball time.
