Marisa was wonderful! She spent the weekend expertly caring for our 6 cats and dogs as if they were her own. Marisa was really good about communicating with us throughout the weekend, both in writing and through sharing pictures. Caring for 6 fur babies is a lot to begin with but she handled all of them so well. I would recommend and would love to work with Marisa again.

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.
