The best care for your best friend.

Pet care experience

I have always loved animals and growing up, I lived with cats. I have owned a variety of pets such as hamsters, fish, hermit crabs and taken care of my neighbors' dogs. I take pride in the level of excellent care of my pets (even as a child!) and always research the best food, practices, toys and other aspects of their care so they are living their best life with me. I was always a responsible child growing up and took pet parenting quite seriously. I was attached to all my pets and would prioritize their needs as a good pet owner. Growing up, I would also pet sit my neighbors' dogs by playing with them, feeding them and cleaning up after them. As a fitness enthusiast, I love taking dogs for walks!

Marissa was great! She came in the snow and got the dogs outside for exercise. She did not miss an appt. nor was late. I feel she was very attentive to the dogs, responsive to our text messages and very flexible with our chaotic schedule. I would recommend Marissa as an excellent dog sitter for anyone who needs one! Thank you for your time.

I've seen firsthand how much love and care Marissa gives to cats. I know that she would take great care in following any specific instructions or requests from pet owners as she gives attention to details. She has so much patience and kindness towards animals. She has a deep understanding of cat behavior and needs. I highly recommend her!

It is evident how much Marissa loves animals, watching her grow up taking care of them so well. She is compassionate, attentive, honest, and responsible when caring for animals. I trust her with my 2 cats, and her attention to detail is much appreciated. She truly is a professional and an excellent communicator. Her dedication to making my pets comfortable with her and accommodating as much as possible to their routine while away. I highly recommend her to everyone. My cats love her!

If you know me personally, you would know I am a huge animal lover and am obsessed with my cat. They mean the world to me and as someone who loves her cat as her family, I will treat your fur baby with the utmost respect, love and best care possible. I understand entrusting someone else to care for your fur baby is a big responsibility and I would be honored to do that for you. I will write down all of your instructions, pay close attention to details of your pets' specific needs, tend to their needs during their visit, give them love, clean up after them, feed them, and will try to keep your pets' routines as closely as possible so it is smooth and stress free for them. I know what it is like to go on vacation and how disruptive it can be for your pet. As owners, we worry about their wellbeing and that is a top concern for me as a pet sitter. I am here to comfort, soothe and make your absence less uncomfortable for them. As a dog walker, I will pay the utmost attention to my surroundings, clean up after them and keep them safe away from any potential threats. I take this role quite seriously as your pet is your loved one and I would want mine to be treated in the same manner.

Information Marissa S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any favorite toys, usual routines and quirks so I can best accomodate them. Any special needs and/or behavioral issues would be helpful to be aware of.

A typical day

I would gladly take your dog to the local park in your area or play with them in your yard if you prefer. I would play catch or games that they enjoy with you to help them feel content and comfortable.

I currently work most of my days from home during the week and am flexible with timing for visits. I do work in person two days a week that varies every week (including some weekends and holidays) but I typically know my schedule a month ahead and can work around any scheduling issues with you.
