I'll send your pup home dog-tired!

Pet care experience

Whatever you need—walking, medication administration, training advice, drop-ins, —I am here to help! Please contact me if you have any questions, I am flexible and can adjust pricing for multiple services! I have been a pet walker & sitter for over 10 years and have compete in different dog sports with my two dogs Kota & Aspen! I know how I would want a pet sitter to take care of my pups and I keep that in mind when providing care for my clients as well. I have over 10 years experience fostering future service dogs for Canine Companions for Independence, where I provided basic training services and support to puppies and service dogs in training. I also compete/train with my own dogs in disc, dock diving and agility and often attend training classes with professional trainers. I have experience with high energy and herding breeds as well as small dogs and cats. I will make sure your pup (or cat!) is tired and happy when you get home! I am home full time and work remotely for Barkbox so I am very flexible and build my day around my dogs needs and wants! My dog Aspen can be an escape artist so I understand how important it is to take all the safety precautions to ensure all dogs involved are safe. I also always have my phone on me and am available anytime for questions!

Marissa is the most knowledgeable dog walker I’ve seen! She takes amazing care of all dogs, doesn’t matter size or breed! Marissa is very patient and willing to go above and beyond for your dog needs! Highly recommend her!

Information Marissa S. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have any breed preferences and love all dogs, regardless of shape or size. I would like to know more about what you’re looking for in a pet sitter, your dog’s favorite things to do and where you keep the treats!

A typical day

Arizona is fantastic for pet care because of its versatility. It can be very urban but only a short drive away, you’re able to hike, walk, boat and horseback ride! Overall, I will first get a sense from you about what you’re looking for and then we will spend our time together doing all your dog’s favorite things!
