Animal Lover of all sorts!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Marissa and I am a speech therapist who absolutely loves animals! I have lived with various animals my whole life and often taken care of them on my own. Mostly dogs and cats, but also snakes, iguanas, guinea pigs, and rats! I'd love to take care of your animals in your home and give them all the food, water, walk, playtime, baths, treats, and love they need and deserve! I will also be sure to keep the routines in place that you currently have with your animals so that they are not thrown out of the loop by your time away. In addition, I have previously cared for five small puppies, about two - three months, and would love to care for your new fur baby. I am also comfortable with medication administration and behavioral difficulties.

Information Marissa S. would like to know about your pet

Of course I want to know as much as possible about your fur baby before I can for them. I don't have any breed restrictions; I love pups and kitties of all sorts, big and small! I would love to know their favorite treats, favorite areas to be petted, and their personalities. It's important to me that I know how your dog is going to act around strangers so that I can respond accordingly the first time we meet! Every little detail about your dog or cat is important to me!

A typical day

I would love to play, walk, and feed your pets. I want to stimulate them mentally and physically in order for them to feel comfortable and fulfilled.
