Active, Experienced, Dog lover!

Pet care experience

Update April 2023: due to a busy season of life, I am currently not accepting any requests for bookings at the moment. I hope to open up my calendar when life begins to settle! Thank you for understanding, and I wish all of your pets well. ————————————————— I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, and love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I’ve had experience with both small and large dogs. My family used to foster dogs and I have had a lot of experience with many different breeds. I am a trained dog and cat socializer and adoption councilor from SCRAPS. I have volunteered at SCRAPS for over two years. I have both pet sat with dogs staying in my home and visits to pets at their home. I live walking distance from a park with lots of open space. I’m very active so your dog would get plenty of exercise! My schedule is pretty open during the summer time, and I have a lot of availability for dog sitting/walking. The mornings are best for me for dog walking, but I have evening availability as well. I have lots of experience with senior dogs, and some experience with special needs dogs as well. My 9 year old pug Sammie was diagnosed with diabetes last year, and he had to be given insulin twice daily. I am experienced in administering medications and can handle dogs with extra needs. I would love to meet your pup, please send me a request! (: My parents live with me and have different schedules than myself, so they help with letting dogs out (who are boarding in our home) when they can as well. Please ask me if you have any questions/concerns about my availability! I also watch cats and other pets! I’ve had experience with birds, including smaller birds like cockatiels and budgies, and larger parrots like Macaws and Cockatoos. * First time Rover users- ask me about the rover new client discount code! * **Due to my busy schedule, I am currently only receiving requests from repeat clients (meaning they have booked me at least once before). Thank you for understanding!

Marissa has watched my English bulldog several times over the past few months and she has been an absolute joy to work with. She is very responsive, flexible and I know my dog is in good hands with her and her family.

Information Marissa A. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if your dog is house trained and how they interact with other dogs/cats. It's also helpful for me to know what commands you use in your home so I can effectively communicate with your pet. Preferences on leash/off-leash at fenced parks and dog parks is also good for me to know! I don’t have any specific breed preferences.

A typical day

I live near a fenced sports complex with lots of space for runs and playing fetch! My jack russell loves to go on hikes and would love to have a friend to join him!
