I'd never left my cats alone before to go on vacation so I was really worried about them while I was gone, but Marissa really took her time to send me pictures and updates about what they were up to and it made me feel so much better! She's very patient, especially with my one anxious cat who needs an inhaler, and took good care of my two little cats.

We’ve had Marissa over to the house a few times now and she continues to blow us away with her ability to connect with our three cats. We have one painfully shy cat who hides under the bed and Marissa took pictures of this shy cat in her regular spot and not hiding under the bed. If you need a cat sitter, try Marissa!

Marissa is exactly what I dreamt of when dreaming for the perfect cat sitter. And to call her that seems like an understatement. She is more like a cat whisperer! She gets our cats to come out and play with her and she even got our shy girl to come out and take a treat from her…absolutely unheard of! If you have a social cat, shy cat, playful cat, or a chill cat then Marissa is for you.

Marissa, was wonderful. She kept us informed with wonderful pictures. We have one kitty that is not a people cat, but Marissa still tried to find her. Jaxs our special needy kitty was cared for with care. She did a fantastic job with feeding and keeping every clean!! Thank you

Marissa, what a joy you were. My husband and I had to travel out of state for a week and she was so amazing! She sent so many cute photos of my cats and gave detailed updates every visit. When my orange cat had a runny eye, she let informed me and administered her drops to her. I highly recommend this caregiver for any of your pet care needs! 🐱❤️

Marissa is an absolute gem 💎. She followed all my instructions/recommendations. She pleased both my senior girl with extra treats and pets and managed to get my young, shy girl to play with her. She sent numerous photos each visit and let me know if anything seemed odd. I will definitely use her again the next time I have a long visit out of town.

We wanted to find a great match for our girls while we were away for a week and Marissa was wonderful! One of my kitties is more on the shy side and on her first day with Marissa I was sent photos of her playing. We hope to be able to book Marissa again soon 🧡

Marissa is the best. She even got my shy boy to come out and say hello☺️ lots of cute photos as well

Marissa was wonderful with our senior cat! Marble loved Marissa and we got lots of updates, and beautiful pictures of playtime.

Marissa was amazing! my shy cat fell in love with her and towards the end would actually greet her at the door, our family was shocked! I will definitely hire her again. A+ I highly recommend her ❤️

Marissa is great with our kitties! She even gets our shy boys to open up. She spends a good amount of time playing with them and giving them love (if they want lol) and she makes sure everything is taken care of (water, food, litter, other household stuff like bringing in mail and trash cans). Thank you, Marissa!

Marissa was the perfect cat sitter for us! she paid close attention to both of our kitties and gave then all the love they wanted. She gave us detailed updates and the most amazing photo updates. It was the first time the kitties had been left alone for such a long period of time and we were a little anxious initially, but Marissa did an amazing job!!

Data was very well taken care of by Marissa! I loved seeing how happy the guy was receiving food, love, and attention! He even gave her a ton of head butts! Marissa was also super communicative, her updates made me feel reassured, and she was proactive in every way! Definitely recommend her!

Marissa was amazing! kept me updated on how my cats were doing while I was gone!

Marissa was great. My kitty loved her. She sent great photos at each visit. I will definitely use her again when I need a cat sitter.

This is the second time I’ve booked with Marissa. My cat loves her, and so do I! 😻 She is really good at what she does. Very friendly and follows directions with great care. My house is always clean and tidy when I return home and my cat is happy. I will definitely continue booking with her in the future.

I am a repeat customer of Marissa. our cats love her, even our shyest one Veda, which is astonishing! Marissa is also an amazing cat photographer and sends some of the most artistic photos of all three of our girls. Marissa is trustworthy, communicative, loving and very playful. If you need a cat sitter she should be your go to person!

Marissa is amazing! She loves our girls, we have three, they are all different and she makes all three girls feel loved. One is so shy and spends most of the time under the bed but she came out for Marissa and that is such a beautiful feeling a cat-mom. I think it also says a lot about Marissa and her energy! If you need someone to fill-in for you while you are out, book Marissa!

Marissa is wonderful! She has taken care of our four little ones for several trips. Each one has their unique needs and she has followed the instructions to care for each one. I would book her again for our next trip!

Above and beyond Marissa being a dream and the most amazing cat sitter ever! I also forgot to highlight she is also an amazing photographer, she sends the most cute, action packed and funny photos of our three girls. It’s the best time of day when I am on my trip and I receive Marissa’s photos of our girls!

Marissa is amazing caring and pays great attention to detail, photos are professional quality and truly embodies the spirit of my kittay. We'll continue to use Marissa every chance we can get, Ash loves her and she even went above and beyond. You wont be disappointed if you book her for your babies.

Marissa was wonderful. She followed our care notes for our four kitties. We really appreciated her care she gave each one which is time consuming.

Marissa was amazing! I truly trust her to take care of my fur babies whwn I'm gone.

Marissa is great with my senior kitty! She always sends great pictures and detailed updates.

My cats absolutely love Marissa. I have no worries about them when she is watching over them. I would recommend with 0 reservations whatsoever!

My kitty Millie loves Marissa. Great job!!

She was so great with our babies! Such great updates, photos, and everyone loved her.

Marissa was amazing as usual. Having someone as dependable as her there makes going on vacation a little easier. And Data loves having her company!!
