Pet care experience

Home Full time + play time with pet

I work from home with a flexible schedule and have the ability to give your pet the time, energy and love that they need while you’re away! I have extensive experience with pets - both cat and dog. Happy to stop by for walks or runs, individual play time (like fetch), and even snuggling! I can handle 1+ dogs of any size. Puppies are also welcomed! I have the ability to visit the dog or work with you for partial day visits to make sure your pup is being trained efficiently with their potty breaks and/or crate training. I am very understanding when follow the house and family rules when playing with your pets. Also, depending on the timing, I am happy to help with feeding for nights and mornings. I am happy to meet with you and your pup today! CURRENTLY looking at flexible schedules with my current work needs.

I could not be happier with the service I received from Marissa. My Step-Father had a medical emergency and we needed to a reliable cat sitter right away to come to the house twice a day to feed and care for his elderly cat. Marissa was extremely responsive and dependable. I received updates every time she came to the house and could tell from the pictures that the cat was being extremely well cared for. I am so incredibly thankful for that peace of mind while we dealt with this unexpected medical emergency. I will not hesitate to hire Marissa again for any future pet sitting needs we might have.

Marissa is great every time she spends time with my dogs. She always goes above and beyond! My female dog is always more hesitant with people who aren’t me, and she’s had no trouble accepting Marissa. My aunt always requests her specifically when she knows I have to get a sitter.
