Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pets

I’ve had pets all my life and have been caring for dogs and cats for 20+ years—both my own and others’. I have dog/cat and house sat for neighbors, friends and family for years. I’m a dependable, loving sitter who treats every animal like family. Whether your pet needs play, snuggles, or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for anxious and high energy dogs. You can count on me to care for them as if they were my own! I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I’m happy to tailor care to your pet’s needs and routine. As an online student, I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend visits. I care for my own family's dog daily and have helped care for her in her senior health struggles. I have become accustomed to administering medications, additional support with diet and feeding time, and monitoring her health through physical and behavioral changes. I'm not currently able to currently able to dog sit at my own home due to my elderly nonsocial dog. You can count on me to be communicative, respectful of your home, and most importantly, to care for your pets as if they were my own!

Marissa was an exceptional pet sitter! She kept our home and dog, Rusty, safe and loved. She communicated clearly, and shared plenty of pictures. Rusty had a wonderful time, if he had thumbs, he'd give her two thumbs up for sure! We would be lucky to have Marissa take care of our pets any time. Couldn't recommend a more professional and kind human.

Got it — let’s go for something more natural, grounded, and professional. Here’s a revised version that feels more authentic and job-appropriate: --- I've known Marissa for years and have seen firsthand how reliable and thoughtful she is when it comes to caring for animals. She's looked after my pets (both cats and dogs) multiple times, and I always know they're in good hands. She’s great at managing multiple pets, sticks to routines, and really takes the time to connect with each animal. If you're looking for someone who’s dependable and genuinely cares, Marissa is it.
