Information Marissa T. would like to know about your pet

I like to know how your pet does with other dogs/cats. What their potty schedule/meal schedules are, as well as any medications that need administratored and when.

A typical day

The type of stimulation is completely dog dependant. Some dogs do not care about me at all, and just see being in my home as an opportunity to play with their friends. Others just prefer snuggles. When the weather is nice, with owner permission we will occasionally go to a dog park or a trail, and stop for pup cups on the way home. There are plenty of toys for them to choose from, and a big back yard for me to throw balls for them to chase and never bring back.?

The Star Sitter programme highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet owners to find the best care for their pets.

I am excited to help care for your

Pet care experience

I have had cats since I was 6, currently have one cat, one dog, and two guinea pigs. I also have sat for high energy dogs, cats (both pre and post amputation), and lizards. I am excited to have walks, play time, and care of your pets incorporated into my daily routine. If your pup needs socialized, my dog is a great first meet and greet to help them learn how to play with other dogs. I have no problem taking your pets on walks, cleaning out litter boxes, or dog park trips. As of right now I do not yet have a fenced in yard, but once I am able to get a fence put in will be more than happy to have the extra home visitors. I am excited to meet all of your fur babies!

Marissa was great. She took care of our Puck over the long weekend, providing updates and photos over the 5 days. Will absolutely recommend and use again.

Marissa goes to great lengths to make sure all of our pets are taken care of. She consistently checks in, provides great photos, and her updates are thorough. She is great at following any specific instructions even if they’re absurd because of a needy dog or a cat that tries to escape at any chance. We are so grateful to have found Marissa and will continue to use (and have already booked!) her services again.

Such a great sitter! Marissa came to take our dog out for walks as I had to be gone all day and she was so professional and kind with our little Lucy! Will definitely be hiring again!

Marissa did a fantastic job with all of our animals. She was patient with our fussy ones that don’t always like to follow directions, spent time with all of our animals even if it meant crouching next to their hiding spots, and sent us great updates with photos. Even when we failed to warn her of a possible escape route for the cats, she quickly wrangled our escape artist and kept us updated. She was fantastic, and we’ll surely be using her services again.
