I give plenty of attention to your fur-babies through play, interaction, and observation. I pay close attention to their behavior and routines to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable at all times. If anything ever seems out of the ordinary, I communicate with pet parents promptly. I look forward to caring for your pets and treating them with just as much love and TLC as my own! 😊

Information Marissa N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, behaviors, or medications I should be aware of while they’re in my care—I’m happy to accommodate them to ensure your pet feels safe and supported.

A typical day

I love engaging pets in playful activities when they’re in the mood—whether it’s with toys, games, or affection. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and giving them a chance to safely explore the outdoors. If permitted, I’m happy to bring them to a park or dog park for extra stimulation and fun.

Your pet's new favorite sitter! 🐾

Pet care experience

I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up helping care for what was basically a small indoor farm—dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, a bunny, and fish all under one roof! I also have hands-on experience with senior and special needs pets, and currently share my home with a sweet 9-year-old cat.

Hi ! Marissa has pet sit and house sit for me numerous times. She is a rockstar! Reliable, attentive, and always makes sure the pets and house are in order when you arrive home. I have 3 dogs (2small and one midsize) 2 cats and a fish tank. She's given a few of our pets medications as well, and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is happy and safe. If ever a problem she communicates quickly and assertively. Don't hesitate to call Marissa for all of your pet needs!

Marissa G. is very much an amazing person; especially when it comes to the care and love of pets! She has grown up in a house full of cats, dogs, birds and even fishes. It is true what they say about animals, they have a keen sense of good people and loving support. Pets know Marissa is an animal lover and they easily make friends with her!

I can't begin to capture how great Marissa is! Our booking started because another pet-sitter cancelled on us while we were mid-trip and we needed to find someone ASAP. He had e-interviewed Marissa before our trip, but chose someone else because of availability. However, Marissa came through and saved us! Our pet-sitting situation was unique: we have more than just 1 pet and caring for them all isn't fool-proof. On top of the unique care schedule, we also needed someone to pick up crickets and do prep veggie bags for the guinea pigs. Marissa took on the challenge and did amazingly! On top of her last-minute help, the power went out twice during a rain storm, which required her to be proactive with fish tank emergency shut-offs, messing with the breaker box, and resetting GFCI outlets. I would, 100%, without a doubt, recommend Marissa! She was incredibly communicative, went above and beyond, and seemed to genuinely care about all of our pets. Thank you, Marissa, for proving to be someone we can (and will) rely on for our pet needs!

I've known Marissa for almost 10 years. She is very caring and loving to all pets, cats, dogs and birds. I trust her with my 2 Shih Tzu's and recommend her to pet sit for you! She has a kind spirit that carries over to love for pets. She is very responsible and reliable. Kelly C.
