About Marissa

We are Marissa and Claire, we have a lovely little dog named Hank and a young (human) daughter who is 10months old. We become sitters after using pawshake ourselves a number of years ago and love the site and the service it provides.

We understand how hard it can be to find the right solution to your pet sitting needs. Hopfully we can help and provide a nice place for your dog/dogs while you are away. We walk Hank twice daily and because of this, its easy for us to look after yours too and take them on the same walks.
One of us works shift work and the other is working part time so there is a good chance that one of us is home often however if your dog has never been left alone we are not a good fit for you. 

I am an introvert so am at home most afternoons and nights with the dogs. Our dog doesn't like cats so unfortunately we cant look after cats. At night our dog sleeps in the room with us. We have lots of toys and plenty of dog beds all over the house.
We still have some small/medium sized crates if your dog is crate trained that we can set up for them or feel free to bring your crate. 

We don't have the biggest house, but we do have a fully fenced yard to them to run a muck in and like I said before, we walk or run the dogs twice a day and they get most of their energy out at the park. 

Our late dog Toby used to take medication daily so we are both farmiliar with giving dogs pills if needed. We have both grown up with dogs and enjoy being around them and being active. We also travelled for a while and got to spend time working with sled dogs and many different breeds. 

On the weekends we like to take Hank out to the beach, on hikes or to the dog park. Dogs are a very big part of our lives and we will do our best to ensure your dog is loved and cared for too. Let me know if you have any questions.

Our house is carpeted, so we can not look after your pet if it not house trained. Any dog under 1 year must be potty trained and well behaved. We are on the cheaper end because we want to care for your already trained dog, not because we want to train your puppy.
