Pet care experience

Flexible sched + great neighborhood

I have over 16 years of experience with pet sitting, walking, and house sitting! References available upon request. I am available for walking, drop-ins, house sitting, and in-home care. I have worked with several families for daily walks and vacations. If there is a need for in-home care, I live in a very safe, walk-friendly neighborhood with two parks nearby, so your pets will receive plenty of love! I have a 6 year old who loves dogs and cats, so they will get extra love from her! I live in a townhouse in a very dog-friendly complex. My work schedule is flexible, so I am available for multiple walks per day. Please contact me for any additional questions. I would love to work with you! :-) I work from home, so I am very flexible and able to walk frequently (every 1-2 hours), as well as take care of any particular needs you may have for your pet. I live in a very friendly, safe neighborhood. It is fenced in, with a couple of outdoor pet areas for the animals to freely roam. I walk them several times a day around my neighborhood — from residential streets, to long walks to Levy Park and school pickup/dropoffs for my daughter. They are welcome to make themselves at home — I don’t mind animals on the furniture, and in fact would much prefer your animal not require a kennel if possible.

Felix spent 4 nights with Marissa and her family, and they really cared for him. They shared photos and updated me on how he was doing. I would definitely request them to sit Felix in the future. Thank you for your kindness!

I had a great experience with our dog's overnight boarding! Communication was excellent, and I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while away. My pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would definitely book again and highly recommend!

Easy breezy working with Marissa. She is accommodating and sent cute photos of my boy with her sweet family all thruout his stay. We will be coming to her again.

Marissa was awesome! Snoopi definitely enjoyed his time staying with her throughout thanksgiving week. We received daily updates and photos. He got to hang with another fellow pup and he loved his cuddles with her daughter. We will definitely be using Marissa in the future! 100% recommend!
