Pet care experience

bow wow meow 🐾🐶🐱

Hi! My name is Marissa and I love animals! I know that’s what most Rover profiles say, but for me it’s true! Growing up I was always “that girl" in the neighborhood who would watch the everyone’s cats, dogs, fish, and hampsters. During the pandemic, when I started working from home, I started using Rover and Wag! part-time and it has been the best decision I’ve ever made. I also help to foster for a rescue that saves dogs from kill shelters in the southern states. I have experience with cats, dogs, fish, birds, and other small furry creatures. I am familiar with giving medication orally and/or through injection, have worked with animals of all ages and temperaments, senior animals, and animals with disabilities or special needs (deaf, blind, etc.).

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

While it’s rare that an animal dislikes me, I do require a meet-and-greet with all new clients. before a new service to 1) make sure I’m a good fit for your pet and 2) learn all about them and their routine. For new boarding or doggy daycare clients I do require a trial stay to make sure the experience will be comfortable for your pet. When caring for pets, I want to keep their environment and routine as normal as usual. During our meet and greet I’ll work with you the pet owner to figure out what works best on a case-by-case basis. Your pets are your family and I’ll always treat them like they’re part of mine.

We always have Marissa check in on our cat while we are away. She is amazing, trustworthy, and great with animals! We’re lucky to have found her!

Schedule

Please refer to my calendar for the most up-to-date availability. I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when possible, but I tend to book quickly—so I recommend reaching out in advance to secure your dates. I currently offer dog walks, drop-in visits, doggy daycare, and boarding. I’m happy to tailor care to your pet’s needs, whether that’s a neighborhood walk or a more active outing to a local park or trail. As a pet owner myself, my availability for house sitting is more limited and does not include 24/7 care. However, I always ensure your pet receives attentive, reliable care and plenty of time, attention, and exercise during scheduled visits.
