About Marissa
Experience: 10 yrs
I have 10+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and needs, from energetic puppies and kittens to seniors requiring special care. I've also worked at a doggy daycare and an animal sanctuary, where I cared for a wide range of species, from chimpanzees to parrots. In addition, I have hands-on experience with exotic pets, including bearded dragons and chinchillas. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, and ensuring pets feel safe and loved. Whether you need drop-in visits, daily walks, or longer-term care, I bring reliability, patience, and a genuine love for animals. Fun fact: I studied dog cognition at Johns Hopkins for a summer and found that dogs share several cognitive abilities with humans!
