Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable & Loving, Go-To Pet Aunt
I have been watching and loving dogs and cats of friends and family for many years. This includes overnights or just walks/drop-ins when needed. While at home with them, I spend much of that time playing with them, giving pets, scratches and belly rubs, on multiple walks with them or out in the yard. Being an active person, I keep the dogs active as well and give walks/runs a few times a day. I am a teacher, so during the summer I am home all day throughout the weekdays. My full attention would be directed to your pet when they are with me, as I do not have kids or pets of my own. Everyone has different routines and rules for their pets, and I am understanding of that and I am happy to accommodate each of those so that you and your pet are as comfortable as possible when you are unable to be with your fur baby.

Ratings and reviews
Marissa is our go-to person for any care we need for Opel. We appreciate how much she loves our pup and from the photos we get, we always know Opel is so happy.
Our dog Emma had a wonderful time with Marissa! Pickup/drop off was easy, Marissa was extremely communicative, and most importantly Emma had a great time.
We have used Marissa several times with our cat. She is communicative, always on time, and does a great job!
Marissa was great with our difficult pup!
Thanks Marissa the cats seemed super-well taken care of and happy when we returned!
We hadn't needed a cat sitter in a while, but even after some time Marissa still remembered all of our cat's likes and needs! She's enthusiastic and always happy to help. So nice to have a cat sitter we know we can count on!

Schedule
As mentioned, I am a teacher, so in the summer (June-mid Aug.) I am available 7 days a week and am home throughout the majority of the day for doggy day care, walking, drop ins and boarding unless my schedule notes otherwise. During the school year (Sept.- end of May) I am available for boarding and walks Fri. nights through Sunday, and doggy day care Saturdays and Sundays. I am also often available early mornings or in the evening after 5:00 for walks or drop-ins during the week. During typical breaks and holidays I am also available outside of the schedule above. If I need to be out of the house for an extended period of time while boarding (3-4 hours or more), I will let you know before booking to see if that works with your dog.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I limit my doggy day care and boarding to two dogs so I can personalize care to your dog. I have a fenced in yard and deck and do not leave dogs out on their own. While walking, I make it a point to keep distance from other dogs as much as possible in case they do not get along, especially if your dog is leash agressive.
A typical day
Your dog will get lots of walks, playing, love and time outside in the yard. Walks will mostly be through town or on nearby trails, if that works for your dog!
