sPAW stays & unFURgetable days! 🐾
WARNING! You’re animal will be spoiled! My home is located just 15 minutes from Philadelphia International Airport and is convenient to both 95, 495 and Philadelphia pike. In a rush? I can pick up your pup up for a small fee I am Marissa! I have been around all types of dogs my entire life, from Yorkies to Rottweilers! I am extremely attentive and your pets safety is my top priority. I am well versed in handling strong, powerful animals. I can’t wait to get to meet and love on your animals and give them all sorts of lovings! I have a 13 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who LOVES animals more than I do, which is crazy. But we’ve had pets the whole time he’s been alive! Me, I have had a pet since the time I was 2 and ever since my first dog, Molly, I knew I’d always need a furry child in my life at all times! If I do have to step out, I typically leave the dogs uncrated unless otherwise stated. All dogs are leashed when on a walk and going out to use the restroom. I have plenty of bowls, waste bags, and toys here! You can bring your own if you prefer, whatever makes you and your pet(s) comfortable. Your fur babies will love their spa days/stay here because my kids & I treat them like royalties. 😊

Ratings and reviews
Once again Marissa saved the day... more like week. We had to make an emergency last minute trip out of state. She did Not hesitate to take all 3 of our boys. The picture updates definitely help ease my mind. They all looked like they moved in and took over her place. Lol She took amazing care of them of course. She is very kind and most of all a great caretaker of our boys. We picked them up and immediately noticed they looked so handsome. She had combed them, gave them a freshening up, and they all 3 had bandanas on looking so handsome. We got home and unpacked their bags when I noticed a little footprint baggy inside. She sent the sweetest card home, some homemade treats they love as well as a magnet with their paw prints in it. So sweet and special! We highly recommend Marissa for your fur babies care! It was also less stress on us while being away knowing they were well cared for. Don't think twice, and book her while you can.
Marissa took excellent care of our Golden Retriever and sent us regular pictures of her playing with other dogs
Marissa love my dogs like her own. This is our second time booking with her and we will continue to do so! She was incredibly communicative and sent updates/pictures regularly.
Thank you Marissa for taking such great care of my kitties!
I am one who always worries when I first leave my pet with someone new. Marissa sent photos 5 min after we left (I was crying lol) and the pictures immediately made me feel better. She sent several photos during stay and we could tell our Teddy was very comfortable there. We know he was well cared for. Marissa will be our only cat sitter as she is trustworthy, relieves the pet parents anxiety, sends photo and info updates. Can't ask for anyone more kind and comforting than her. She's above 5 star if you ask us. And I am very particular about who we leave any of our pets with Thank you so my h Marissa for treating our baby with love and care. 🩵
Marissa is my go-to sitter for my pup, Layla. She is quick to answer, provides updates, and reaches out for any concerns. I have booked with her several times now and always feel better when traveling knowing Lay is in the best hands!

Schedule
I currently work from home and get very lonely during the day! Having a fur baby to keep me company and let me share my love and affection to would be awesome! I also can work from anywhere and everywhere! So I’m completely flexible and open to whatever 😊 Yes, your fur child/children can sleep in bed with me if that is okay with you.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I can easily crate your dog if needed! I do not have a fenced in yard but I would be able to bring the babies to dog parks since I can work from anywhere! I will send you daily photos & updates on our adventures!
Pets
A typical day
I love to play fetch or taking them out for a run. I also love to go and walk around the neighborhood and let them do some exploratory smelling. If allowed, we get a daily pup cup from Starbucks! I also do not mind going to dog parks if the pup is able to be around other dogs! As for cats, I would play around with them! I have toys I can provide for boarding & my own water/food bowls on an adjustable lifted stand. All I ask is for you to provide their food, leash, cage, and doggy bags.

- Please let me know if your fur baby has any allergies or food intolerances or if there’s any special things that your pup/cat needs to feel happy, loved and safe wherever they are! I will ask for confirmation that your animal is up to date on vaccines as a safety measure for my children, if any other animals are here, and myself. I do want to make it known, I have steps that lead into my home.
