About Mers Birds | Pet Sitting Services

1 Thumbtack job completed

Having worked as a Vet Tech for over three years in Sonoma county, I have lots of hands on experience with medicating, handling, light grooming, and monitoring anesthesia for dogs and cats.


[Light Grooming entails:]

*Nail trim
*Ear Cleaning
*Shaving matts
*Bathing
*Brushing


I am confident that your experience with me will feel like a weight being lifted off your shoulders. I am confident that you will not find someone as passionate and dedicated to your pets health and well being as I am.

Here are some of the animals I have experience
medicating, handling and fixing meals for:

Cats*Dogs*Bearded dragons*Frogs*Snakes*Iguanas*Turtles (aquatic and land)*Chinese water dragons*Crabs*Guinea pigs*Hamsters*Ducks*Geese*Chickens*Pigeons*Parakeets
*Cockatiels*Parrots*Horses*Goats*Sheep*Cows

I enjoy photography as a hobby, and I love photo documenting my time with your animals. I send emails or texts with these images, helping you to feel at ease while you are away.

I am available for a.m. and p.m. drop-ins, overnights, and occasionally, can board a small animal or bird. Morning drop-ins begin at 6 - 8 a.m. Evening drop-ins begin between 5 - 8 p.m. (times are approximate).

General drop-in is 20 - 30 minutes long; I pick up mail, take out trash and will water indoor plants. Additional services available for an extra fee.

I have excellent references throughout Marin and Sonoma counties. If you have any questions, would like to set up a free 30 minute consult, or check out my availability, please do not hesitate to email or call me. Thank you for your time.

"Marissa is great! We have 6 birds, fish, and a kitty and live way out in the woods, and Marissa arranged her schedule so that she could stay at our place for 10 days! The animals were happy, safe, and well-fed when we returned, and the house was spotless.

She genuinely loves animals and went out of her way to research the best vet options, look up the types of birds we have, etc. Best of all, she returned phone calls and texts right away so that there was never any "worry time" between calls. We'll definitely use her services again!"

    Marissa is a wonderful pet sitter. I use her over and over to take care of my two cats and a dog. She not only loves animals and has a lot of knowledge about all types of animal but she also take great care of them. She goes above and beyond the call of duty!

Question and answer

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. Most often I am asked to do drop ins at peoples homes. This is where I usually come at breakfast time and dinner time to prepare meals, give company to, and play around with your animals.

Sometimes clients have me stay in their home just for the comfort of knowing their home is in good hands! Your pet will sleep much better and be much less anxious knowing their trusted pet sitter is nearby.. Sometimes in the same bed!

Q. Describe three recent jobs you've completed.

A. I spent last week doing overnights with Lucy the sweetest black lab. I would come over after work, hang out, cook us dinner and stay the night. In the morning I would make breakfast, hangout and then leave for work and see her again in the evening.

The week prior I was with Jed the yellow lab and I would do two drop ins one for breakfast and one for dinner. I also would take him on a evening stroll.

A few weeks ago I had a parakeet board for two weeks in my home. I loved the sweet chatter that filled my house!

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. I love knowing that when I am taking care of your animals they are receiving the interaction, love, care and attention that they deserve compared to being sent to a vet boarding facility where they would most likely be in a kennel, or cage for most of their stay.
