Highlights
Pet care experience
Paws-itively purr-fect pet sitting!
I have 4+ years of professional pet sitting caring for large & small dogs, all age ranges of cats, and exotic animals including bunnies and fish. I am able to care for multiple animals at once and multitask well. I currently work for a family of 4 golden retrievers, 1 lab/pit mix, 2 cats, and over 15 exotic fish, one day a week. My tasks for the dogs include taking them for long walks, cleaning up after them, brushing all 5 dogs, playing ball, and doing training exercises with them. For the cats, I feed, brush, clean their litter box, and give them plenty of love. For the fish, I feed them and occasionally do water changes. I also do light housework like sweeping, dishes and laundry help if needed. But of course, the fur babie’s safety and happiness are my main priority. I can care for all age ranges of animals and am comfortable taking care of multiple animals at once.

Marissa was great with our new puppy! Very prompt and reliable and sent us updates and pictures
Marissa is super reliable and very communicative. I just moved and was anxious about finding a new dog walker. Im so lucky to have found Marissa so quickly. It's really taken a lot of stress out of moving to a new place!
Marissa is very reliable and a good communicator if the schedule changes. She's very prompt and my dog is happy on her walks.

Schedule
I currently only work one day a week caring for a family of dogs, cats, and fish on Thursdays. I have occasional pet sitting jobs for a couple clients when they leave for vacations. Also my babysitting job ends for the summer. So, I am pretty flexible with days you may need. I am usually available day and night M,T,W,F. I also have weekend availability but occasionally have wedding gigs on weekends (I am also a singer). My schedule is pretty flexible at the moment.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a very safe neighborhood where cars drive slow and my apartment is far from the road anyways. I have a yard your dog can play in and when I take them for walks, I can safely take them on sidewalks and on leash. I have experience with walking dogs with behavioral issues that are more difficult to walk on leashes or train.

A typical day
Your dog’s happiness and health is my biggest priority. I will make sure they have unlimited water, take them for long walks, play with them, brush them, and give them plenty of love.
