MARISSA

Introduction:

Hi Everyone! I'm a professional female in my 30s, offering house and pet-sitting services to those travelling away from home. I definitely prefer long-term positions (1 month or more), but will consider shorter-term gigs, depending upon the dates and location. I work as the Training Manager of an online company while pet-sitting full-time, so I have the flexibility of working from my laptop, while providing your pets with lots of love, snuggles and walks throughout the day.

I'm very active, love the outdoors, and keep a clean living space, so your pets will be in good hands. I'm also of course accommodating of older pets that aren't as active as they once were. :) I'm more than happy to provide you with regular updates and photos so that you know what your pet is up to every step of the way!

Experience:

I'm happy to share that I've worked for 5+ years as a pet-sitter. My last 2 years of sitting have been on a full-time, live-in basis and during that time, I've cared for several different types of animals, especially dogs and cats.

Before I began animal-sitting, I was working as the live-in Residence Manager of a Boy's Basketball Prep Academy. I was the only adult in a residence of 16 teenage boys, and I was responsible for all the upkeep - both inside and out! I've learned to keep a very clean home, even while living in a busy or even chaotic living environment.

Additionally, I have 10+ years of experience as a professional nanny and house manager. I will definitely care for your animals and home as well as I've cared for other people's children. :)

Feel free to shoot me a message if you're looking for a friendly, responsible and down-to-earth sitter to look after your home, plants and/or loved ones. :)
