Pet care experience
Check out Fulton's top rated pet sitter, with years of experience with not just dogs and cats - but small animal care, exotics, reptiles, birds, and even expanding experience to include livestock including chickens, pigs, and goats! I've personally owned a number of these animals, along with caring for a variety of species on Rover and through pet sitting. I've taken on behavior problems with care and patience, including reactive and hyper dogs, reclusive cats, and protective pups who required muzzling for our first numerous visits.
Reviews

About Marissa K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I offer a Meet and Greet opportunity for all new clients, and a refresher for any clients whom I haven't seen in over a year. This allows us to get to know each other and your home as needed prior to booking. When caring for pets in my home, I offer a few safety measures, including not just a fenced yard, but a tie within the fenced area for any pups who are jumpers, climbers, or diggers. (Trust me, I have my own Houdini-pup!)
Information Marissa K. would like to know about your pet
Please provide vet information both on Rover and in text message and/or a note at your home to ensure we have the most up to date information. So far, *knock on wood,* we've never had to utilize a client's vet. Here's hoping we never do, but will always be prepared! Please note in immediate emergency if we are unable to contact owners, we will take the pet to the MU emergency vet clinic in Columbia MO.
A typical day
Drop In Visits: (most common) For Dogs: We stop by and visit for typically 30-45 minutes per visit, depending on your needs. In addition to caring for your pup, we always do our best to wear out dogs as much as possible so they sleep well until we come by again. This may include a 10-20 minute walk, playing inside or outside, or trips to the dog park (with owner permission). In addition, we are happy to care of any other services you need like watering houseplants, caring for other small pets, etc. Depending on your pups, we recommend between 3 to 4 visits per day, or less if you're only gone a partial day or if your pup has access to outside areas. Rover now offers 60+ minute visits for a small additional fee, if you are interested in a longer visit please let us know. Dog Walking: This service is common for people who work long hours or are home but unable to take their dog for a good walk. If you're looking for a dog walking/drop in visit mash up while you're out of town, feel free to book either one and we're happy to make it work! *We are currently full on regular week day walking clients. We are happy to still walk for families who are out of town and need someone to stop by to feed/walk, and we still have some weekend availability. However particularly with the summer heat, we have to limit the amount of repeating daily/weekly dog walking clients we're taking on right now.* Boarding and Daycare: We hope to offer these services again soon, however right now we are only accepting past clients due to having a strong established relationship with the pups. We recently bought a very old farmhouse with lots of construction/projects, and have a new puppy of our own who is still learning how to get along with others. Housesitting: We currently do not offer full 24hr Housesitting services. We are willing to accommodate very early morning and late evening drop in visits, with a few visits in between!

Availability
I'm currently working full time at Fulton State Hospital as a Music Therapist and Team Leader. This has currently limited my availability to best suited for early morning, evenings, and weekends. For some exceptions, quick visits over lunch is available, however currently lunchtime visits are limited due to the demands at work.
