Safety, trust & environment

During drop-in visits and walks, I treat each pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep pets on their normal routine, and always make sure they have fresh water, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a safe, comfortable experience. I’m also careful with leashes, doors, gates, and any home-specific instructions so pet parents can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

Information marissa w. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I'd love to know about their routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. Things like feeding schedules, medications, favorite activities, triggers, fears, leash behavior, and how they interact with people or other animals help me provide the best possible care. The more I know about your pet beforehand, the better I can make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I like to tailor my visits to their personality and energy level. For dogs, that might mean walks, playtime, fetch, tug-of-war, or simply getting outside for some exercise and fresh air. For cats, I enjoy interactive play, brushing, cuddle time, or just keeping them company if they prefer a quieter visit. My goal is to make each visit fun, engaging, and stress-free while keeping pets comfortable and sticking to their usual routine. Of course, there will always be plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs (if they're willing to share!).

Trustworthy and Caring Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Marissa! Caring for animals has been a big part of my life for over 10 years, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or your cat prefers a quiet companion and extra cuddles, I make it my goal to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including pets with special needs and medication schedules. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I take the time to follow your instructions closely so they can enjoy consistency and feel right at home. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family members. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, with plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care. Whether we're going on walks, playing fetch, enjoying cuddle time, or simply keeping each other company, you can count on me to provide reliable, loving care and regular updates for your peace of mind.
