Safety, trust & environment
I always ask the pet parents if there are any escape artists in the pack &/or if there is a spot the pet(s) could potentially sneak out from. I believe it’s crucial to be fully aware & cover all your bases when it comes to safety!
Ratings and reviews
Thank you so much Marissa!!! I so appreciate you caring for Shadow whenever I'm out of town. I don't look for any other sitters :) Highly recommend!!!!

Thank you Marissa for taking such good care of my kitty, as always! And, thank you for the great communication! I don't even look for anyone else, just check your availability!!

This was our first time using Marissa and she was SO wonderful! She made all of our animals feel at ease - even our cat who usually hides under furniture when other people came over was laying calming on our bed with the door open. Our senior dog who is very, very anxious did great as well. We will absolutely be asking for her help again if we need to. Highly recommend booking with Marissa! :)



Marissa was very patient and kind with our elderly, blind, and mostly def Boston Terrier. She kept us updated and responded well to his anxiety. I felt at ease during our vacation knowing Marissa was dog sitting.
As frequent travelers, we’ve had Marissa housesit and took care of our baby numerous times. She always delivers above and beyond. We can definitely tell that Marissa doesn’t view it as only a job, but she truly cares for our dog. Selfishly I struggled to leave Marissa a review since she’s already pretty busy with her existing clients. I kind of want to secretly hide her away lol.

When I had to leave town again, there was only 1 person I wanted to take care of my cat, Shadow. Marissa is wonderful! My cat loves her, and her communication is excellent!
