Flexible, passionate, trusting

Pet care experience

I have always had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. When I turned 16 I applied to a dog kennel in Conneticut called Day Hill Kennels. I worked there for a year administering food and medications to dogs, walking and bathing the dogs, taking each dog out and spending time with them, and attending doggie daycare! We also housed cats and the occasional hamster! I also worked at a local doggie daycare for 6 months! In my spare time I enjoy reading about dogs and their behaviors as well! I am typically home all day so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur-baby! I am very flexible and cancellations are flexible as well! I live in a two bedroom (pet friendly) apartment with my two cats, Romeo and Nico. They both grew up with 3 dog siblings so they don't mind playing with the dogs! There is no fenced in yard but do not fret, there is a dog park and quite a few other parks just up the road!

Marissa did a fantastic job taking car of my cat for a week. My cat usually gets watery eyes when I’m away (a stress response), but she didn’t this time! My cat looked very healthy and happy after being cared for by Marissa. Marissa regularly sent photo updates, and also readily mentioned the loss of a nail. She’s observant, very kind, easy to communicate with, conscientious, and took great care of my pet. Highly recommend!
