Highlights
Pet care experience
Sit, Stay, Play - Available Any Day
I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes growing up, from chatty chihuahuas to burly pittys. Aside from my family dogs, I used to volunteer with pups at All Breed’s Dog Rescue, where I learned to support more emotionally challenged dogs. I currently care for my rebellious teenage kitty, Emmett, and step in to help with my neighbours’ cats when needed. I’m very patient and adaptable to the unique needs of different pets. I’ve recently professionally cared for a flock of 80 co-ed ducks — so I’m ready for any unprecedented chaos! I’m currently a student with a very flexible schedule, hoping to take on as many gigs as I can. I would be grateful to get to know your furry friend and I promise to keep them good company.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Marissa did a great job of taking care of my pets! She texted me pictures and updates throughout the stay, and followed every request I had!


We were so lucky to find Marissa! Marissa is extremely personable and professional. We trusted her to look after our home and our dog for nearly 3 weeks and she did not disappoint. Marissa took the time to come visit with and get to know our Mushu before we left on our trip. Marissa provided us with photos and updates regarding Mushu's adjustments to our being away. Marissa also did a great job keeping our house in order while we were away. It was wonderful to come home to a well cared for home and pup. I hope Marissa receives many requests for her pet and house sitting services...but not so many that she won't be available the next time we need her. ;-)
Marissa was very helpful, especially in a quick needs situation with my travel.



She does a great job with our timid and food aggressive (dog only aggressive) pup. Follows our direction for preventing fights to a tee.


Very well at communicating, and did well with our 2 dogs.
So nice and my girls are happy and sleepy! Even my timid girl didn’t need much pushing to trot off with Marissa.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am currently completing college online with a most flexible schedule. I have ample time to provide for care and last minute notice is no problem. I have reliable transportation for anything urgent. In January, I’ll have a few more restrictions when I return to online classes, but I’ll maintain most of my availability.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
I’m a hobbyist power lifter, so handling bigger dogs is no problem. I’m a native VTer who loves to be outside so I don’t mind long winter walks or fetch in the snow. I’m just as happy to warm up inside with pets and cuddles for the dogs from down South. However your pet is best supported is how I will show up for them.
