Hi there!!
My name is Marissa, and I am a 23-year old recent uni graduate who is looking to earn a bit of extra cash doing what I love most - being outdoors with dogs! I have 2 rescue dogs named Maia (8yrs) and Rolo (4yrs) and they are my world! My highlight of the day is taking them for lovely walks down Avon Beach and giving them lots of snuggles/playtime.
I am an avid sports fan, and was on a tennis scholarship in the USA for the last 5 years. I am enthusiastic, hard working, responsible, and always looking to help others where needed.
I offer mainly dog walking and house visits/house sitting if needed too. I am happy to walk multiple dogs at the same time, and have experience doing so with my own 2 dogs. I usually take my dogs on long morning walks (around 45mins-1hr) so they can burn off some energy, and a slightly shorter evening walk after being fed (however I'm happy to walk them for as long as you like!)
Services:
Dog walking: 10/hr (5 for each additional dog)
House visit: 15/visit (depending on location)
House sitting: 30/night
Happy to follow any instructions, and can be available on short notice most days, as I'm only working part-time. My dogs mean the world to me, so I will treat yours the same. I would also be happy to help train your dog (no professional experience but can practice basic commands with them if needed)!
I would be happy to come and meet you and your dog(s) to introduce myself and make sure your dog is comfortable around me :)
Please don't hesitate to get into contact via phone or email, DM for details.
I look forward to hearing from you soon :)
*Fun facts about me!
I am a twin
I was born in Uruguay! (Both my parents are English)
I have lived in 5 countries: Uruguay, Isle of Man, England, Spain and USA!
I've always been an animal lover, and have owned dogs, cats, and even hamsters growing up! I looked after a rabbit once too!
I rescued my first dog when my Spanish teacher at school brought her in after she found her on the streets! It was love at first sight!

Santa is quite a fearful dog but Marissa put her at ease and she settled well with her
