Zookeeper: can care for any pet!
Pet care experience
I've had dogs my whole life, mostly small to large, although I have worked with extra large breeds. I worked for two different dog kennels for a while, which gave me experience with a variety of breeds, ages, and health issues of dogs. I have done both short term and long term (11 months) dog sitting and have helped out with post operation monitoring, medicating, and tube feeding for one of my clients. I previously worked for another dog walking/sitting company based in Houston, but moved to San Antonio for work. I've worked mostly with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, I've also worked with some other small mammals and hoofed stock. I'm a zoo keeper, so if you have any animals outside the traditional domestics, you know they'll be taken care of properly!
Reviews
Marissa took great care of our little Maltipoo Zoe while we were vacationing. She was super responsive to any questions I had about Zoe's wellbeing during our time away from home, and she sent us pictures to let us know how Zoe was doing. She has a great touch with animals and we would be happy to leave Zoe in Marissa's care again in the future.
Marissa was great. Took great care of Lucy. I'll be using her again.
Marissa is great! Pets did wonderful and she kept us informed all the time. Sent pictures too. Will use her again!
Marissa has been a dog sitter for us going on 7 years now. She is always very respectful and gives us updates on our dogs even without asking. Her ability to follow instructions to a T has been the reason for her continued employment.

Information Marissa H. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know their energy level, temperament, specific needs, if they have any favorite activities or places to be scratched!
A typical day
If the dog is older or calmer, I'll take them on leisurely walks around the neighborhood. If the dog is higher energy, I'll play with it's favorite toys in the backyard, or if there's a close by dog park, I may take them there. I love to give dogs lots of love and attention!
