A Decadesof Professional Experience
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Marissa, and I have TWENTY YEARS of professional pet and home care experience! I started at the age of 12 doing drop in feedings and eventually progressed to multi month in home stays with many long term clients. I have a human healthcare background as well but I have always loved working with animals and their people. I have experience with just about every imaginable type, size, temperament and age of dog and cat. Experience with exotic pets like turantulas and snakes, birds, as well as farm animals including chickens and llamas. Ample experience with complex medical issues and medication administration. Very experienced with nervous, elderly, and special needs animals. I do my very best to ensure that your sweet furry family members are as happy and safe as can be while they're with me. I'm very hands on with any animals in my care and I truly enjoy giving lots of extra love and a attention to your babies in your absence . Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Safety, trust & environment
This is dependent on your home and pet. I always ask safety questions like, “do they like to dash for any door, eat socks etc.
Home
Information Marissa W. would like to know about your pet
How are they with other dogs/strangers/kids? It's ok if your dog is reactive or can't handle certain situations or people. If your dog is great with everybody then I'm happy to take them to the dog park and barbecues. But if your dog is happiest to chill at home with their people and solo walks without stranger interactions then that is just fine.
A typical day
Since every animal is different I always defer to their owners when it comes to what type of exercise best suits them. I'm up for hikes, dog park ball throwing sessions, backyard zoomies, Lots of short old dog outings. Whatever your pet likes/needs is fine by me.
