Ready to help you & your fur family
Hi there! My name is Marissa, and I am hoping to become a trusted caretaker for you & your fur family within the Gainesville community. My whole life, my family has always had a house full of animals- from dogs and cats to lizards, birds, rabbits, hamsters, etc. Now, as an adult, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, all with extremely unique and different personalities. I spent 6 years volunteering at my local humane society and have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I am very comfortable with any breed of dog and I am also very respectful of cats, I am keen on pets cues for boundaries. I understand all pets are different and I’d be honored to help you and your fur family in your time of need, while on vacation, etc. I’ve used rover in the past as a customer and have had good experiences with the app. I am new to this area but if you give me a chance I promise to take the best care of your pets while building trust in this community. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you!

Safety, trust & environment
Every pet is unique and different in their own way. I have had a lot of experience with my own pets and my time volunteering at the humane society - I understand some dogs try to run out every chance they get or some dogs are food aggressive. I typically like to know your routine, with detailed notes/stopping by and introducing myself so you can show me how to properly care for your pet(s) while you are away. Trust is important and I know it can be scary using an app for pet care. Our pets are our family and I hope to start building a reliable reputation within this community.
Ratings and reviews
Marissa was a fabulous sitter for our pets, and we would highly recommend her for other pet parents. She was extremely responsive, conscientious, and responsible with our elderly dogs and rabbit. She sent us photos and check-ins every day, and we would love to rebook her in the future. Thank you Marissa!
Marissa was amazing with our girls. We have one girl who can be challenging and doesn’t like very many people, but she loved Marissa! Every picture showed her happy and calm.
It's rare to meet someone that genuinely loves every animal as if they were their own. The love and compassion Marissa has been gifted with is that of great measure. She handles fur (and furless) babies with such grace, from the way she speaks to them to how she works with them. She has years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes and is always more than willing to go above and beyond to show them the care necessary to make them comfortable. I can assure anyone that reads this, that your pets will be in the best hands possible. I will forever recommend Marissa for your pet caregiving needs.
have known Marissa for 10+ years and she has cared for my pets on numerous occasions and has very flexible to cover for me in times of need, 100% reliable and no issues ever
Honestly someone who truly cares and empathizes with animals unlike any other. Marissa can provide that security and assurance for the safety of your family pet.
