Safety, trust & environment

I have a very large fenced yard for your pets to play in, along with a decent sized home for them to hang with me in. I have 4 kids that are in school all day, but will be home with us at night if your pet is staying over. They are all 8 and above and GREAT with pets! We have only 1 cat currently. A neutered male and he is very friendly. He has been around both dogs and cats and usually just minds his business when they are over. Whatever environment suits your fur baby best, I can surely provide. I have cared for sick pets on multiple medications, as well as senior pets needing a little exrta attention and care. I am open to all animals and will care for them exactly as requested, along with lots of extra love and pets :)

Information marissa w. would like to know about your pet

Basic Information: The pet's name, age, breed, and gender. Feeding Routine: The regular feeding schedule, the type of food they eat, and any dietary restrictions or allergies they may have. Medical History: Any known medical conditions the dog/cat may have, ongoing treatments or medications, and emergency contact information for their veterinarian. Behavior and Temperament: Information about their behavior around strangers, other animals, and children. Exercise Needs: Their exercise requirements, including the frequency and duration of walks or playtime. Favorite Toys and Activities: Knowing their favorite toys and activities can help in keeping them entertained and happy.

A typical day

Morning Check-in: I would start the day by visiting the sweet fur babies at their home or, if needed, having them at my place. I greet each pet warmly, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved from the moment I arrive. Feeding and Fresh Water: Following your instructions, I will provide the pets with their scheduled meals, making sure to serve the appropriate portions and any necessary supplements or medications. I always ensure that they have access to fresh water throughout the day. Dog Walking: For dogs, I will take them on daily walks, adhering to their usual walking routes or exploring nearby parks if permitted. Open to taking dogs on hikes as well, as I like to hike a few times a week near the Sandias :) During the walk, I'll ensure they have opportunities to sniff and explore, as this is essential for their mental enrichment. Cuddles and Affection: Pets thrive on love and attention. I will spend quality time with each pet, offering cuddles, belly rubs, and gentle grooming (as needed/requested) to make them feel cherished. Administering Medication (if needed): If any pet requires medication, I will follow your instructions diligently, ensuring that they receive their doses at the correct times. Special Care and Needs: If a pet has specific requirements due to age, health, or behavioral issues, I will accommodate their needs accordingly, providing a safe and supportive environment. Communication with Owners: Throughout the day, I will keep you updated with messages, photos, or videos, so you can rest assured that your pets are in good hands and are being well cared for.

Trustworthy and Caring Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello, pet parents! My name is Marissa, and I'm thrilled to be your trusted pet sitter here on Rover.com! As an avid animal lover and experienced caregiver, I understand that your fur-babies are more than just pets; they are cherished members of your family. With that in mind, I promise to provide them with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. I have 10+ years of experience in pet sitting, and during this time, I've had the pleasure of looking after a wide range of furry friends, from playful pups to independent felines. I am familiar with various breeds, temperaments, and special needs, and I take the time to tailor my care to suit each pet's unique personality. My top priority is always the well-being and happiness of your pets. Whether it's daily walks, interactive playtime, cuddle sessions, or administering medications, I am dedicated to ensuring your pets feel comfortable and loved in your absence. Rest assured, I will follow any specific instructions you provide to maintain their routines and make them feel at ease.
