Pet care experience

Animal whisperer 🐶🐱 🥰

My name is Marissa, i work from home full time as a human resource employee. I am 27 years old and have had dogs my entire life! I also can take care of all types of animals, anywhere from hamsters to pigs & chickens. I am dedicated into knowing more about animals and to love them as much as their owners! I’ve had numerous types of dogs going from rotts and pit bulls to chihuahua. I currently own my soulmate of a cat, he is my pride and joy! I love what I do and I would love to add your furry children in my schedule! Sending me a text (815/566/2711) is the fastest way to get ahold of me!

Marissa was an excellent babysitter. She took good care of my Primadonna for babies. I was very impressed with her skills and her ability to give them all the attention that they needed. She kept me well informed of their goings-on, as a first-time away nervous Mommy. I will definitely use her again if I can and I recommend her highly as a fur baby babysitter. Thank you again Marissa good job well done Joe

Marissa is the absolute best and truly went above and beyond for us. She is the first sitter we hired through Rover and we were not disappointed. She was even willing to meet our pups twice before actually sitting them. And not to mention when our dog pulled the leash out of the ground to run towards our neighbors dog she handled the situation like a boss and even got ahold of me to let me know what happened and that she had everything under control. Really looking forward to having her sit our dogs again, it was honestly the best experience ever. Thanks girl!!?

Marissa is truly the dog whisperer. My dogs do not like anyone and I mean anyone. Marissa clicks with my dogs very well. She watches them on a regular basis. We leave for a week at a time and she takes them out and even plays with the dogs. She always goes above and beyond and even sends pictures to us to show us how much fun they are having. She is very trustworthy and she has a key to my house. I highly suggest you leave your dogs in her care she won't disappoint

When my pets need a sitter, Marissa is the first person I call. I am most comfortable calling her because she is an owner of four dogs herself and has had more in the past. I’ve seen her care for other animals as well which helps ease my mind when she watches my animals. Marissa is of course an animal lover, but she is also very responsible and professional. These qualities are essential for anyone who is going to take care of my furry babies! I’ve enjoyed every encounter with her and she has never disappointed me. I recommend her as a sitter since she has personally taken care of my own animals and has shown nothing but love to all of them! When I hear “dog lover”, Marissa comes immediately to mind!
