Pet care experience

Tell your dog I said “hi!”

Hi there! :) I'd love to care for your pet(s) while you're stuck at the office, away enjoying a vacation, at the kids’ sporting activities, or whatever the case may be. I have volunteered or worked in the animal welfare space for over 7 years now and am Fear Free certified. I have lived with dogs, cats and other varying creatures my entire life and couldn't imagine a world without them. When I'm not spending time with my pets, you can find me volunteering with a local animal shelter or rescue, enjoying our parks and breweries, out on a hike, or tending to my plants. :) Trust me, I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of someone else. I promise they'll be in the best care with me as I will give them nothing but love and my full attention during our time together. Currently, I have limited availability, but please don’t hesitate to reach out to share your situation in the chance I may be able to assist! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! :)

Safety, trust & environment

I will most likely always go over the allotted time we have scheduled as I really do love hanging out with new friends. For walks, if there is a trail near by, we will probably check that out and try to take different routes each time we’re together to make for a better sensory experience. For drop in visits, I’ll sort of follow their lead. Let them out to potty and then we’ll play and eat if it’s feeding time. I love notes of their favorite things to do, toys, etc. so I can feel a little more familiar to them by giving them those opportunities of familiar activities.

Marissa is a wonderful and trustworthy pet sitter! Our cats were well taken care of while we were away during the holidays. Look forward to book with Marissa again for our cats and dog.

Super caring for our dog and love having her taken for walks by Ms Marissa who has plenty of treats and cool places to smell along the walk.

THE best, most attentive, caring pet sitter. She treats our dogs like one of her own and can't be more grateful.
