I am currently a full time teacher, meaning I am able to care for your animal early mornings and I am off early afternoon so your pet will not have to wait until evening for care! I also have most common break/vacation times (thanksgiving, Christmas, summer, long weekends) off and have a more flexible schedule during those times.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Marissa and I am an animal lover, pet mom, and full-time teacher. I am looking for some additional income and would love to help take care of your fur baby while you are away on vacation or at work. While I do not have a lot of experience pet sitting, I have had pets my entire life and am currently a pet mom to my cat, Malachi. I am always the one that my friends/family go to if they need a pet sitter or help with their pets. I have a flexible schedule and would have plenty of time to spend time with and get to know your wonderful pet. I can't wait to hear from you and get to know your special fur baby/babies!

Marissa did check in and send photos everyday. However when I came back home less than 24 hours after her last visit there were several issues. My key was left in the wrong mailbox. Luckily my neighbors realized and returned it. The cats water was completely dry, and they were super thirsty. Their litter box was overflowing. I can usually go about a day and a half before it gets full. This appeared to not have been cleaned in 2 days. I left specific instructions for it to be cleaned daily. Their food bowls were dirty, especially the wet food bowl. There were other bowls readily available that she could have grabbed and changed out. There were several places were the cats puked and it looked like it had been left for several days.

Marissa did a fantastic job taking care of our kitties while we were out of town for 10 days. She had to give one kitty a pill which is not an easy job! She is very dependable and spent extra time for some TLC also! I would definitely hire her again!
