This is probably our 5th or 6th time having Marisa watch Birdie, to the point where Birdie is part of the family now! She always comes back sweet, fluffy, and exhausted. Every time I drop Birdie off at Marissa house, she can't wait to run inside and see all of her "other" family. 🤣

Best dog sitter ever! Kept me updated, walks and lots of playtime and cuddles. Our fur babies were well taken care of.

Marisa was an amazing sitter for my pup! Communication was great right from the start and I loved that she is very careful to make sure my dog would so well with her and her family before she would take him. My pup has some anxiety and needs slow introductions and she made sure he felt safe and comfortable through the visit. He had a ball with her dogs and her family as well. Lots of walks for him and pictures and videos for me. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thanks Marisa!!

This is our second time having Marisa watch our mini golden-doodle and I swear she comes back better behaved then when I dropped her off! Marisa threated our dog like she was one of hers. Her communication is also amazing, sending lots of pics and videos. I highly recommend Marisa!

Marissa had a meet and greet with Java at a short notice. Java got along very well with her dogs. He returned clean, tired and relaxed. Marissa also proactively asked about changes in plans when there was inclement weather and accommodated our time changes. She sent lots of pictures during Java’s two day stay.

Schedule

I work remote so all dogs in the home get a lot of attention throughout the day which would include frequent bathroom breaks in my fenced yard and at least 1-2 daily walks.

Safety, trust & environment

Knowing your dog’s current routine will be beneficial in making sure your dog can be feel comfortable in a new environment. I can follow instructions necessary around crating, feeding, and other specifics needed for your dog. To make sure your dog meshes well with my dogs, I will set up a pack intro in my home between my dogs and yours ahead of any boarding to make sure everyone gets along. This would typically be about an hour where you would drop them off and pick up after.

Pets

A typical day

Your dog would have bathroom breaks and yard play as needed. Typically 1-2 daily walks from 30 mins to an hour each unless your dog requires less exercise. I also offer kongs or other interactive toys your dog may like.

0 to 15 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only

Marisa can host up to 1 pet per night
My preference is dogs 30 lbs and under who are respectfully social or neutral towards other dogs. Your dog must be spayed/neutered, house-trained, and if male no issues with marking in the home. Also, up-to-date on vaccinations. I do have a 5 year old dog savvy daughter so your dog would just need to be ok with a child around. She does go to school/daycare during the week and I manage her interactions with all dogs very closely as well. There are various gated spaces in my home for separation as needed. I would also need to know ahead any specific needs your dogs has and their typical daily routine.
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.
