Highlights
Pet care experience
I love furry friends!
From the time I was born to when I left for college, I had no less than 2 dogs in my home at all times. I loved taking them for walks, playing with them, and snuggling with them. Since leaving for college, I have pet sit for professors and friends, and would love to meet more furry friends :).
Cat care experience
Marissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I respect the boundaries of dogs and cats, and am very empathetic towards animals. I understand that pets can have anxiety when their owners leave, and I'm happy to do anything to relieve some of that anxiety. I am also happy to take the dogs on walks whenever they want, and love playing with hyper pups to tire them out.
Ratings and reviews
Mar has been amazing. We were looking for someone to watch our energetic 50 lbs puppy for a week as we traveled aboard. Mar made us feel very comfortable throughout the stay and made us feel that our puppy was in great hands- which was very important for us as this was our first time to be apart from our puppy for an extended time. Highly recommend and will definitely hire again.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I'm a PhD student at University of Michigan in computational medicine, so I can work from home and my schedule is very flexible! I'm happy to dog walk and dog/cat sit anytime during the week and weekends, and can also do extended stays!

- I love hyper and calm animals! The only thing I'd like to be aware of is any special requests for walks, such as staying away from adults, kids, or other dogs. I am happy to walk these pets, but just want to know beforehand!
