Your Pets Second Mommy! :)

Pet care experience

Hello my name is Marissa. I work at a animal pet hospital, Full time. I am a Biology Graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University. I have great experience when it comes to dogsitting and dog walking. Currently I am trained in dog walking at my local pet shelter that I volunteering at. I am willing to give my all to make sure your pet is super comfortable in my home. When I am walking dogs I make sure they are fully active as well as being on their best behavior. I know that your pet means the world to you as well as being a huge part in your family. I will take good care of your pet as if it were my own, and give them the care and comfort that they may need.

I had the absolute pleasure of having Marissa as our pet sitter, and I cannot praise her enough for the fantastic job she did. Marissa is not just a pet sitter; she is a true pet lover and caregiver. From the moment she started taking care of our dogs, it was clear that they adored her. Marissa has a natural way with animals that instantly put our pets at ease. Our dogs, who can be a bit shy around new people, warmed up to her incredibly quickly, which was such a relief for us. What sets Marissa apart is her genuine dedication to pet health. She not only ensured our dogs were fed, walked, and given plenty of attention, but she also took the time to provide valuable advice on their well-being. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and healthy during her stay. Her knowledge and passion for pet health were evident, and we greatly appreciated her insights. But it's not just about the practical aspects of pet care; Marissa's caring and nurturing nature truly stood out. She showered our dogs with love and affection, and it was evident that she treated them as if they were her own. She made sure they felt safe and comfortable, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away knowing our furry family members were in the best hands possible.

Marissa is the best! She’s attentive, kind and lots of fun. My boxer Robbie adores her. I especially feel comfort in the fact that she has spent many years working with animals in her role as a Veterinary Assistant. I highly recommend her.

Absolutely fantastic! As a dog owner, leaving my pup in someone else's care is never easy, but with Marissa, I never worry. Her attentive and caring nature is unmatched. My dog always returns happy and well-cared for. Simply the best dog sitter out there! Thank you so much!
