Pet care experience

Let me love your fur babies!

I have been animal/house sitting for over 15 years. I love all animals no matter what age or temperament. I can handle anything your pet might throw at me while you’re at work or out of town. I can help feed/water, walk, bathe, play, comfort, etc.

Marissa is a kind and caring animal lover! She took such good care of our cat while we were on vacation. She followed instructions perfectly and was very communicative. We would definitely want Marissa to come back next time we need pet care.

Marissa stayed in our home for 8 days and took great care of my Maggie, pampering her with lots of love.

Marissa was very accommodating to my busy schedule and was prompt with her care. She took very good care of my german and he enjoyed her company tremendously. She has done several overnight stays and I have nothing but the best to say. She is incredibly caring and intuitive with Ivan. I would recommend her to any one whos looking for the best care.

Marissa is one of the most caring and loving human beings I know. She is absolutely trustworthy, and will care for any living thing as if it were her own. She is thoughtful and attentive. I cant say a single bad thing.

Schedule

Hi! I am currently a Swim Coach on the UES with a ton of mid-day availability. I would love to spend my time playing with your floofs! My current availability is as follows (roughly) : Monday 9am-1pm Tuesday 9am-1pm & 5pm-9pm Wednesday 9am-1pm Thursday 9am-1pm & 5pm-9pm Friday 9am-9pm I would love to have daily or weekly walks scheduled so I can have some semblance of a schedule but I am totally down to provide impromptu care if I’m in the area!

Please let me know if your pup has any quirks or specific needs I need to be aware of. I can only be as observant of their behavior as they let on. I want to make sure they’re comfortable and safe no matter where we venture off to!
