Availability
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.

About Marissa B.
Communication
Skills
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!
Information Marissa B. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy and active with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Whether it’s tossing their favorite toy, exploring the neighborhood, or relaxing together, I make sure each pet feels loved, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away.

Pet care experience
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.
Cat care experience
Marissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
An incredible sitter! Me and my partner were nervous to leave our kitty for a week but Marissa made him so comfortable! Our kitty is normally really shy but he just loved Marissa. We came back to a very happy Cat and a clean litter box. Thank you Marissa for just a wonderful job!
Marissa was so sweet and attentive while watching my cat :)
I’ve booked drop in visits with Marissa multiple times now, she is always timely, professional and communicates quickly! My cat always seems calm and is well cared for while I am gone!
Marissa was reliable and communicative dropping in to take care of our cat for a week.
