Marissa can care for
Availability
My current work schedule follows the standard Mon-Fri 8-5, with most of my weekends and evenings open. Because of this, I'd be most suited for pets that are used to this schedule already. Otherwise, I try my best to stick to their current schedule for things like feeding and walks.

About Marissa J.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always feel comfortable meeting the parent(s) and pet before the booking. I can take care of all basic tasks and am very adaptable, patient, and reliable. I do my best to learn about each pet's little mannerisms and quirks so I can accommodate them the best I can while keeping them and your home safe. I want to make sure both you and your pet end up happy! I always ask that I'm given the pet's vet and an emergency contact as well, just in case.
Information Marissa J. would like to know about your pet
The information I usually ask new clients is if there are any allergies, medications, or behaviors I should be aware of, and if they are dog-friendly or not.
A typical day
A typical day usually depends on the pet and what they're interested in doing. I love playing with dogs and cats to tire them out, or if they're more of a couch potato, I'm also fine with keeping them company around the house. During bookings, I do try to spend any time not at work at the home, and am also comfortable staying overnight when needed. (I don't even mind snuggles)

Pet care experience
I’ve grown up around dogs for most of my life and already occasionally pet sit for friends and family. I used to work as a caretaker at a doggy daycare, and decided to continue pet care alongside my new job as it became such a fulfilling part of my life. I'm experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and I'm experienced with a variety of other animals such as cats, fish, lizards, turtles, birds, and hermit crabs.
Reviews
Marissa is our go to! She’s reliable and great with our golden retriever.
Marissa ensured Boris got important time sensitive medications. She sent a couple photos to let me know how he was doing. She is responsible and caring.
Marissa is amazing! She is punctual and gives updates about our dog. She is our go to sitter!
Thank you again !
