I am a business owner so I am able to work my schedule around caring for your pets. I can tend to them and may need to leave the house for appointments no longer than 3 hours if needed but my husband also is home in the case I can’t be there 24/7.

Information Marissa S. would like to know about your pet

I recommend letting me know if your animal is comfortable with other pets or not, I can separate them all no problem but my dog does love making friends!

A typical day

We love to have movie nights with blankets and pillows in the living room when they are feeling sleepy. We will take them out to the deck to play and walk them if weather permits!

Pet care experience

Hi!! My name is Marissa Gordon, I’m 27, married and own a bi-level home with lots of space. I have a backyard with a large deck overlooking a woodsy ravine that dogs love hanging out on to watch wildlife and relax with us! Our house is setup to keep your pets separated from ours if necessary- with 2 living rooms upstairs and downstairs. We love watching movies with them and taking them on nature walks in our neighborhood!

Marissa was great! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures! My dog enjoyed having another dog to play with as well.

Marissa and her husband were so great with our high-energy pups! Her dog Dewey is sweet and playful with other dogs, and they came home exhausted. They had a clean, safe home and I would recommend her to anyone!
