Pet care experience

Reliable & kind dog/cat lover!

I grew up in a house filled with animals... two huskies, one shih tzu, three cats! Last year my boyfriend & I fostered 2 pitbulls and I also have experience working in a pet shop which has allowed me to work with a bunch of different breed & temperaments. I know that your pets would remain happy and safe because I would treat them with the love and care I've treated my own with. P.S. You'd be doing my dad a HUGE favor as I'm sure he's tired of my daily facetime calls asking to see my dogs hahaha

Marissa has been walking our corgi for months now and she is so kind and super responsive. Our pup absolutely loves her and we can tell how much time she spends and cares for our little guy. Such a lifesaver!

Marissa went over and above when taking care of our puppy this weekend. We received regular updates and photos and our puppy looked so happy. We had zero concerns all weekend. We highly recommend!

Absolute sweetheart and made such an instant connection with the dog. You can tell she really cares about every dog she comes into contact with.

Marissa was so kind! Our dog has separation anxiety, and Marissa patiently helped her through her crying, snuggled with her, and took her for walks. We loved the pictures she sent! Marissa also asked about routines and medications, ensuring that she followed any instructions we had for her. We felt confident leaving our dog with her, and we would definitely recommend!!

Schedule

I work in from home Mondays to Fridays, so I’m always up for cuddling with a cute pet on the couch while reading or heading out for a walk to get some fresh air and escape the apartment!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a safe apartment complex in Old Fourth Ward. Although I don't have a yard, I live right next to lots of walking paths & am happy to take them on leashed walks throughout the day! I'd stay away from dog parks unless you suggested their temperament is up for it.

Pets

A typical day

I'm a big fan of nature & spending time outside so I'm always down for a long walk/exploring different neighborhoods. This is also a fun way for me to get to know the city a bit more!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
No females in heat
Marissa can host up to 1 pet per night
I would love to know how potty-trained they are and what they prefer to eat. Any allergies? Are treats allowed? It's also important for me to know how they react to other dogs.
