Pet care experience

Your pet’s new bff

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I’ve raised puppies and kittens, supported senior pets, and cared for animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. When your pet is with me, their safety, comfort, and happiness come first. I treat every animal like my own—whether we’re going on a walk, relaxing at home, or following their favorite routines. I’m happy to accommodate special requests, including baths, medication routines, custom playtime, feeding instructions, or anything else that keeps your pet feeling at home. On walks, I stay alert and prepared. I’m experienced in handling dog encounters, reading pet body language, and recognizing signs of fatigue or dehydration to ensure your pet stays healthy and safe. If you’re looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter or walker, I’d love to meet your furry best friend!

Marissa took such good care of my cat! She was very responsive and provided regular updates that made me feel at ease while I was away. Super grateful that she spent time with my cat and took care of her!

Marissa was amazing taking care of my cat, Violet, during the holidays. She was always timely and responsible, plus Violet loved her right away. She sent updates every day, which I very much appreciated. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

I work a Monday - Friday 7:30am-4pm schedule at the VA in Providence. Depending on the distance you are from my work, I can gladly stop by to give your pet a quick walk mid day. Other than that I am available quickly before or after work Monday - Friday. I can make sure my weekends are free if needed.

Any allergies or special needs. I would want to make sure that they’re also getting all their medications if needed. Also if they have any food preferences.
