COVID Vaccinated + booster, will happily wear a mask during home visits upon request! *Limited availability February-May*(only doing PM visit during school year) My name is Marissa, I am 27 years old, a current graduate student at the U and part-time cat sitter/dog walker. I have a ton of experience in child care as a camp counselor and teaching assistant but I wanted to switch it up a bit and help take care of fur babies! My interest in becoming a pet sitter/dog walker was because I have a huge passion for animals and as a pet owner myself, I know how difficult it is to be away from your beloved pets and putting your trust into someone to care for them isn’t always easy. Steady communication and constant updates will help ease some of those worries. I take advantage of the various features of the app to always keep owners in the loop! BACKGROUND: Growing up in the country, I was taught the responsibility of owning a pet at a young age. Living near farms, I owned and was exposed to lots of different animals and pets. I’m familiar and comfortable around all breeds of dogs and animals. I am also familiar with ecollar technology and have experience with dog obedience training.
