Pet care experience

loving work-from-home pet sitter

Hi there! I'm so excited to offer a loving and safe environment for your furry friend while you're away. With a large fenced-in front yard and the flexibility of working from home, your dog will have plenty of space to play in a secure environment. As someone who grew up with dogs, I understand the importance of providing them with attention, care, and love. Although I don't have any personal pets of my own, rest assured that your dog will receive all the affection and attention they deserve during their stay. Whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or just lounging around, your dog's wellbeing and happiness are my top priorities. You can trust that they will be in good hands and well taken care of while they're with me.

Marissa & her partner took amazing care of our big slobbery dog child and went above & beyond to make sure he was comfortable and cared for and communicated the entire stay. Thank you so much!!

Marissa was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. Our dog is older and needs a little extra patience and understanding, and Marissa handled everything with such kindness and care. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about making sure our dog was comfortable and happy. She was also an excellent communicator throughout the entire time we were away. Marissa regularly sent updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it easy to see how well our dog was doing. Those little check-ins really meant a lot. We’re incredibly grateful for the attention and compassion she showed, especially with an older dog who needs a bit more gentleness. I would highly recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and communicative dog sitter.

Marissa and her partner were quick to respond to our last minute request. They took great care of our mastiff at her first sleepover. We will definitely use Marissa to take care of our big girl again.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pup is free to be where they want here! I have a few toys for them as well as a bed, and a gated yard that they can freely be in. I also live in a very walkable neighborhood perfect for morning/evening walks!

A typical day

I take every dog on a long morning and evening walk every day. I work from home so I like to get out of the house in the morning and evening, and work out in the yard some days allowing your pet to lounge around outside!
