Pet care experience

Pet Parent & Animal Lover at Heart!

I have experience caring for a variety of pets, including cats, dogs of all sizes, guinea pigs, and birds. My passion for animals, especially senior pets, has made me a trusted caregiver for friends, family, and neighbors while they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medication, walking dogs, and playing fetch to keep them active and happy. Whether it’s ensuring a cat gets extra cuddles, a dog gets their daily exercise, or a small pet is well-fed and comfortable, I take pride in providing loving, attentive care to every animal I meet.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Whether caring for a pet in my home or theirs, I strive to make their experience as familiar and comfortable as possible. I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own, following all feeding, treat, and medication instructions carefully. I have plenty of green space and trails nearby for long, enjoyable walks, giving dogs plenty of room to explore. If crating is part of their routine, I’m happy to accommodate them, and I can follow any special food instructions to meet their needs. My goal is for every pet to feel just as special and loved as they do at home with their owner.

First time using Rover and Marissa was very responsive and easy to get in contact with. She sent photos daily of her drops in to feed my kitty and made being away from home less stressful for everyone!

Marissa took good care of our dog for drop in visits while we took a day trip. We would recommend her to others needing help with their pets.

It’s important for me to know if there are any special needs or preferences your pet has. I want your pets to feel safe with me, so if there are quirky behaviors or things to avoid, I’d like to know so I can make them feel at home.
