Pet care experience

A law enforcement animal lover

I have lots of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. I’ve cared for my own three dogs, walked several of my neighbors’ dogs, cat-sat for friends and family, and stayed overnight to look after pets while their owners were away. I’m patient, dependable, and love giving every pet the same care and attention I give my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In a client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special instructions. I take time to give each pet attention and affection so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. My goal is to make it a stress-free experience for both pets and owners!

We came home to a very happy cat! We appreciate Marissa caring for our sweet and timid cat. He was so happy to have his porch time while we were away. Knowing that he was well cared for helped us to relax on our vacation.

Marissa was proactive and communicative! She reported on some allergy symptoms and was able to administer my cat’s allergy meds. She sent some cute photos at check-in, including a trip to the water fountain. Would 100% recommend, felt she was attentive to my pet’s needs

Schedule

I work from 8–4, but I’m available to care for pets both before and after work. I’m also flexible and can step out during the day if a pet needs extra attention, a walk, or a check-in. I always make sure each pet’s needs fit comfortably into my routine.

It’s important to know each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs—like medications, allergies, or favorite toys. I also like to know how they do with new people, other animals, and what comforts them most when you’re away.
