Pet care experience

Let me make your pup feel at home

I’ve been surrounded my animals my entire life. From farms to dogs to cats to reptiles. I don’t have the capacity to have my own at this time and want to share my love for animals through you. I have years of experience and am notably comfortable with large dogs as I grew up around Great Pyrenees Mountain Dogs, Great Danes, Golden Retrievers, Australian Shepard, Doodles, and Pitbulls.

Safety, trust & environment

I am only able to take care of pets in your home. I am comfortable with crates, pups that are potty training, anxious pets, hyper pets, and everything in between. At this time I do lack experience with females at their time of the month, but am not queasy about it and can easily follow any instructions given. I would be happy to spend most of my free time with your pet if that is the level of interaction they are used to. I love playing outside, walks, and cuddle time, but am able to notice your pets needs and comfortability and do my best to match that.

Marissa was amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a more kind and attentive person to watch our animals. She went out of her way to communicate and send us pictures throughout the weekend and we came home to the HAPPIEST animals. We would trust her to watch our animals any weekend - couldn’t recommend her enough!

I highly recommend this pet sitter! She is dependable, caring, and genuinely loves animals. From the moment she met our pets, it was obvious that she was patient, attentive, and took the time to make them feel comfortable. She followed all of our care instructions, kept our pets on their normal routine, and made sure they received plenty of love and attention while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed pets, which gave us so much peace of mind. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, responsible, and will care for your pets as if they were her own, you won't be disappointed. We would absolutely trust her to watch our pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.

Mars is one of my closest friends. She’s such an animal lover and someone I’d absolutely trust to take care of my pets. She’s attentive, friendly and will absolutely give them all the attention.

Marissa is a loving, attentive, and trustworthy pet caregiver! I have always felt completely comfortable leaving my pets in her care as she gives them plenty of attention and keeps me updated while I am away. She is so loving and gives her 100% attention to them. I would highly recommend her as a caring and dependable pet caregiver!

Schedule

I currently work at the Mayo Clinic full time which is always 8 hours and never later than 5pm. I have weekends off. If your pet is comfortable being home for 8 hours alone, I would love to offer care during the week and can spend all my time during the weekend’s caring for your little one.
