Safety, trust & environment

I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I keep the visits calm and positive, as a vet tech sitter I’m confident with medications and monitoring for signs or stress or illness.

Information Marissa V. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your dog, I love to know their daily routine, energy level, and any quirks or triggers. Feeding instructions, medication needs, favorite activities, and how they do with new people or other dogs are all super helpful. The more I know, the more I can keep your pup happy, comfortable, and stress-free.

A typical day

A typical day starts by sticking to their normal routine so they feel secure. I begin with a quiet check-in to see how they’re doing, refresh food and water, and tidy their space. Ill mix in playtime, enrichment, and downtime based on your dog’s personality—whether that’s fetch, a puzzle toy, sniff walks, or just relaxing together. I keep a close eye on behavior, appetite, and comfort, and I’m confident giving medications if needed.

We just got back from a 5 day cruise and our dogs are very relaxed and happy! Marissa kept in contact with daily updates and pictures which made it easier to relax during our vacation. We will be booking with Marissa again!
