Pet care experience

Experienced vet tech

I grew up with animals and began pet sitting at a young age. I have always had a special connection and interest in animals that led me to become a vet tech, and work in a pet ER. I have experience with almost every special type of pet including reactive and nervous dogs, senior dogs and dogs with chronic illness and medication needs. I will not only enjoy and give your pet special attention but will be able to recognize concerns and respond appropriately. I can also offer nail trims, bathing, teeth brushing, anal gland expressions, ear cleaning,etc. while pet sitting

Marissa is a great pet sitter. She has cared for my dogs, cat, small mammals, amphibians, fish and even my houseplants. She is conscientious, communicative and responsible. 100% recommended.

I would trust no one more than Marissa to take care of my animals. Given she is a licensed veterinary technician, she is highly intelligent when it comes to medically complex pets. She has taken care of my senior cat who has asthma and FIC. My cat absolutely adores her- and she sent me photos and videos of him while I was away, which I really appreciate. Since Marissa works in a veterinary ER hospital, I know that she’s skilled to know if something is wrong with my pet. In addition to this, Marissa is a great communicator, she pays strong attention to detail, and her calm and compassionate energy attracts animals to her. I highly recommend Marissa for your pet sitting needs.
