Cat lover and dog mom

Pet care experience

My name is Marissa and I work in healthcare. In my spare time, I love cat/dog sitting and dog walking. I have done all of these for the last couple years and have more recently become a dog foster. As a dog foster, I have gained more experience in dealing with behavioral issues with dogs. I enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs and spoiling them with treats (if allowed)! I always focus on taking care of only one or two dogs at a time. I am also happy to do drop ins for both dogs and cats! Would love the opportunity to watch your dogs or cats or walk your dogs! Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you.

Marissa came to the rescue and watched my kitten Donny when I was unexpectedly admitted the hospital this past week. I recently moved to Arlington and all of my family and close friends aren’t local, so you can imagine how anxious I was to quickly find somebody nearby to take care of my fur baby. She was very responsive, followed all of my instructions and sent lots of pics when she was with him, all of which put me at ease. I came home to a very happy cat and I know part of that is because he was in good hands while I was away. I am so grateful for Marissa’s help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful, respectful pet sitter!
