If I have a current foster they will be kept separated from client pets per Austin Animal Services policy. The little guy I have right now is awesome but he will hang out at home when I’m with client pets.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around all kinds of animals my entire life, but growing up always had at least 5 dogs and cats in the house! Ive house sat for families with multiple dogs, dogs with special behavioral and health needs, and puppies. I love doing all the silly little things for other peoples fur babies because I am the same way with my dogs! I’m also a foster care provider for Austin Animal Services and have absolutely loved getting to spoil the shelter dogs and get them adopted into fantastic homes. Through this experience I’ve learned a lot about dog behavior and how to make even the shyest dogs comfortable and happy. I’m a senior at UT and have a super flexible schedule in the summer so I’d love to help out with your furry friends!

Marissa is the only one I will have come pet sit! She does a great job with my cat and also dogs, and always makes sure to walk them extensively and go above and beyond to make sure they’re not only cared for but also entertained and kept happy the entire time I’m gone. She’s been a great pet sitter and dog walker and one of the only I trust!

I would highly recommend Marissa for dog walking and pet care. She is responsible, trustworthy, and loves animals. She is caring and attentive and always making sure pets are safe and happy. She is dependable, communicates well, and treats every pet as if it were her own. Beyond being great with animals, Marissa is kind, friendly, and easy to work with, making her someone pet owners can feel completely confident trusting.
