Pet care experience

Avid walker and fenced yard!

I have had animals my entrie life and love getting to meet new pets! I've been a pet sitter for friends and neighbors since I was 10 and I am always eager to send photos and keep you updated on what we’re doing so you can relax knowing your pet is having a good vacation too! As an avid trainer (even my cat knows a few tricks), I am happy to accommodate any rules you have for your pets so they don't lose their progress!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 16, 2025

Marissa was wonderful from the first moment we booked with her. She was extremely communicative before we dropped our fur baby off and during the day. We will definitely be using her again!!

I cannot recommend Marissa highly enough! She went above and beyond to care for my dog, Reagan, showing a level of attentiveness and compassion that truly sets her apart. What impressed me most was her thoughtful approach to my dog’s unique needs, keeping her separated from the other pets in her home, creating a calm and safe environment which made all the difference in my pet’s stay. She also provided multiple long walks each day, ensuring plenty of exercise and stimulation. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but that’s exactly what Marissa did. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who combines professionalism with genuine love for animals, look no further. Marissa is a gem!

Marissa does an amazing job at watching my dog! She has watched my dog several times and always takes him on several walks and sends lots of amazing pictures while I'm gone. She also has a cat that does great with my dog and is super cuddly! I know that whenever I leave town my dog is well taken care of and is happy to be with her, he gets excited whenever we see her!

I could not recommend Marissa enough for any pet care needs! Marissa cares for her own pets better than most people I know and does not hesitate to treat other pets with the same level of care. As a previous roommate, I have been able to see how well she cared for both my pets and her own and can attest that she is a great caregiver to all animals!

Marissa is GREAT with my Pitbull, Clifford. He's a rather difficult dog, but Marissa has the patience and discipline to be able to handle him. She communicates necessary updates and sends cute pics while I'm away. She's overall a great human being and I'm so thankful I found her!

Marissa is an amazing pet sitter! She kept me updated the entire stay with our kitty, and sent lots of pics and videos. I felt 100% comfortable leaving Mipha in her care. Would definitely recommend her and rebook with her!

Schedule

I have changed my schedule drastically to give my dog, Apollo, the best life I can! Apollo loves other dogs and would be happy to have a friend join him on his many walks, playing with his chew toys, and sun bathing in the fenced backyard. I take a minimum of 3 long walks (30 minutes - 1 hour each) per day in addition to multiple shorter outings for bathroom breaks. Pets are welcome to cuddle up on the couch with Apollo and I in the evenings!

Safety, trust & environment

My house has comfy dog friendly furniture and a fenced in back yard! There are sidewalks throughout my neighborhood for easy access to safe walks! My dog, Apollo, is incredibly friendly towards other dogs and completely ignores cats. My cat, Lulu, is shy toward other animals and will keep to herself.

Pets

A typical day

I take walks constantly and stop regularly so the dogs can get plenty of smells! If your dog is high energy, I would love to take them for a jog! I have plenty of toys and space for playtime! The back yard is fenced in for outdoor smell time, watching the neighborhood rabbits (from a safe distance), and sun bathing!

I really want to do a great job watching your pet!
