Safety, trust & environment

I treat every furbaby and their home with respect! If I am staying over I will make sure that everything is kept clean and safe, especially for the pets that I will be watching over! I don’t do pet stays at my apartment unfortunately! If I’m coming in and out of a home, I make sure that safety for you and your home is my priority.

Patient and Silly Pet Sitter!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of numerous breeds of dogs and cats for 8+ years with 5 years of sitting being professional. I have experience with pregnant, nursing, newborn, young, and old dogs and cats! I grew up living on a farm with acreage and 2 current German Shepherds, but am familiar with owning 5 dogs at a a time and caring for up to 10-20 dogs and puppies at a time (I worked with a breeder for about a year once)! Whilst living on a farm I’m also very familiar with cats and kittens! I’ve sat for a private rescue with 20+ cats and am used to giving medication, watching the elderly, and caring for the kittens! I have a lot of patience and anything new that I haven’t seen is a new challenge for me to learn!

Marissa was fantastic! I will definitely use her again! My girls fell in love with her, and one likes to test people to see if she can gain control and run the house. Marissa was firm in who was in control, but loving to jot hurt feelings. She provided regular updates and together we got through some tummy issues to make it where I got back home. The house kitties, who were not part of her duties other than to accept snuggles, adored her as well. At one point she was surrounded by 2 dogs and 2 kitties touching her at once! When we got back, as excited as my dogs were to see me, they also looked around me to see if Marissa was there. My animals tell me all I need to know about a person, abd they adore her. Your pets will too!
