Experienced Doggy Sitter

Pet care experience

I am currently a student in the Tarpon Springs area and have two dogs of my own. I have a bachelors degree in animal science and worked with a veterinarian all throughout high school and college. I love animals and I am a responsible and reliable option for your pet sitting needs! I have a large fenced-in backyard and have been pet sitting for friends, family, and schoolmates since I was in high school. I have experience and a love for animals which can ensure that you and your pet have a positive pet sitting experience. I offer a bath, nail clipping, ear cleaning, and a paw hair trim to pets after a 3 night stay. I cannot wait to meet your furry, four-legged friend.

Marissa is a truly wonderful dog and house sitter! She kept me updated with daily pics and messages, so I felt really able to relax while I was out of town. And coming home to happy dogs, watered plants and a clean house is worth it's weight in gold. I would invite her back any time!

Excellent job watching Kyla and administering her medicine. She sent me pictures, played fetch in her fenced in yard, and Kyla was very happy there! We will definitely use Marissa again! Plus she has a great background working with animals. :)

Marissa is the best pet sitter you could ever find. She has taken care of my dogs many times and they just love her! I have a dog that requires insulin, and she has no problem giving the shots. Her love for animals is evident in how happy her own dogs are. I would highly recommend Marissa to pet sit!

Marissa is the most wonderful dog sitter I know! I have known Marissa for four years now, and she is the only dog sitter I will ever use and feel confident that my dog is safe and well taken care of!! I have a 4 year old Siberian Husky, Ares, and as a husky owner, I am very hesitant of who I leave my dog with due to his very hyper and attention needing behavior. He is also very strong and has the tendency to tear things up, and escape or run away if he is able. Marissa works extremely well with my dog and sees that all of his excessive needs are met!! I never worry about Ares when Marissa is watching him, and I am 100% comfortable leaving Ares with Marissa knowing that she will be able to handle him and give him all the love and attention he needs!! Marissa has watched Ares for quick evening getaways and also weeks of vacation! She is very flexible!! I have also seen Marissa foster a few dogs in her home, while taking care of her two adorable dogs of her own! She does a great job caring for multiple dogs!! She is a very responsible, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter! I HIGHLY recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a top notch dog sitter!! She is the only dog sitter I use!!!

Information Marissa H. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs, big or small, active puppies or couch potatoes. I can accommodate to your pets needs and follow owner instructions like I would want anyone watching my pups. I only like to know before hand if the dog gets along with other dogs or if they have any phobias or aggression. If you are honest with me I can provide the best care for your fur baby.

A typical day

I'm a very active person and can accommodate a variety of activity needs per animal, whether it's a walk around the block or a hike down the beach. I'm a student so if your dog is able, I love to set up shop outside a local coffee shop and study. I'm flexible and easy-going which makes for a great pet sitter!
