Pet care experience

No social life= BIG pet life!

Since I was young I’ve loved animals — both learning about and taking care of them. I began Home and Pet Sitting at age 12 and now have the opportunity to share my love of animals with pet owners all over Ohio and western Pennsylvania. I pride myself on the high-standard of care and services that I offer. I am able to care for all types, ages and sizes of animals. From nine week old puppies to 15 year old dogs to cats and reptiles I have stayed with them all! I hope I get the chance to meet your lovely pet soon.

Marissa was fantastic with our dog and cat. She kept us very informed with pictures and updates and took great care of our home.

As always, Marissa is great with my fur babies. She always leaves the house exactly as she found it, taking out garbage and everything. I'm so thankful that I found her!! My pets love her and I feel better when traveling knowing they are being taken care of by someone who loves then too.

Marissa has taken care of our girls a few times now. She always does a great job and the girls are well taken care of! They are super spoiled so this is perfect that Marissa loves to spoil them! We will definitely continue to hire her for the girls!

Marissa takes great care of my pets while I'm gone. 2 cats and a dog keep her busy and she sends cute photos of them while I'm away. I don't worry about them at all as long as she is their sitte

Marissa is a caring and attentive person, we felt she was capable, trustworthy, and demonstrated great executive decision making while we were away. She was always extremely thoughtful when attending to the cat’s every wants and needs, especially on a loud fourth of July weekend. Her playfulness with our four cats showed through in some pictures she sent, and gave important and fun information in her updates (which are some of the most appreciated qualities when we’re away). Her popularity is well deserved and we are very grateful to her and wish she wasn’t so booked up so we can snag her again for another weekend away.

Schedule

I am able to be available as much as you need me to be. I can stay with your pets all day long if they need me. My biggest work day is election day and right before, so outside of that, I am available.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Marissa can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
It's there anything else you would like me to know about your pet? Do they have a favorite toy they carry around? Do they only eat breakfast if you put it in a toy (my dog does this)? Any counter surfing or chewing I should watch for? Anything you think would make your pet feel better with me staying with them.
