I will take your pet's needs into consideration and take the best possible route for walks, and follow all instructions for drop-in care related to feeding, activity, etc.

Information Marisa D. would like to know about your pet

I would love to meet your pet to see if we would make a good match! I prefer small to medium breed dogs, but can handle gentle giants. Bonus points if you have a dachshund! Does your dog have separation anxiety? Do they react around other animals (other dogs, cats, squirrels, etc.)? Any triggers that would make walking them difficult? Any food allergies? Any quirks I should know about? What can I do to make them feel comfortable?

Experienced Dog & Cat Care

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Marisa and I currently have two mini dachshunds who are the lights of my life! I have been with Rover for eight years and truly enjoy pet sitting. I have worked with various breeds of dogs (and cats) and I am well versed in the proper care techniques for each animal. I provide drop in and walking services to keep your furry friend company while you are away. I require a meet & greet for all new clients to make sure we are a good fit for one another. This shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes of your time. I am happy to meet at your home, or at a neutral space such as a park. I am looking forward to meeting you and your fuzzy friend!

Marisa did a great job with our dog Ryu! We made a fairly last minute request and she responded quickly and came over for a meet and greet the following day. She asked good questions about his behavior, we could tell she cared and wanted to be prepared. Ryu took to Marisa and she both walked him and played with him in the backyard, he loves tug of war. We’ll definitely hire Marisa again next time we need help with Ryu!

Marisa’s descriptions and detail on a walk report card are as helpful, fun and appreciated as the incredible care she shows Sailor.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
