Marissa was amazing! I was nervous because this was our first time using Rover but as soon as I met Marissa I knew I had nothing to worry about and our fur babies would be well cared for. We had 4 drop in visits on one day and an early morning visit the next and Marissa always sent pictures and kept us updated. Our rottweiler plopped down in her lap the first time he met her and that says a lot! We will definitely use her again.

Very patient with both of my pitties went the extra mile to make sure they both pottied after they are played with both dogs the entire time

Marissa took excellent care of my four adult cats during a three-night stay. She was professional and personable, followed care instructions and sent timely updates. The house was in excellent shape when I got back and the cats were happily chillin'. I could tell they enjoyed her company. This was my first time having a sitter and I have to say it was a really positive experience. I’d definitely recommend and book her 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.
