Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure your pet receives plenty of attention and affection. I will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Information Marissa A. would like to know about your pet

Details around the following are always helpful: personality, daily routine, likes and dislikes, medical needs/allergies, training, triggers, hiding spots (kitties), favorite toys, special quirks or preferences.

A typical day

I tailor activities to your pet's age, energy level, and personality. This can include fun walks, fetch, tug-of-war, playing with toys, or simply keeping them company! I give lots of belly rubs!

Caring, trusted sitter & dog walker

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Marissa. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I love spending time with them. I joined Rover in 2023 but I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking regularly since I was a teenager. I’ve raised several dogs and cats of my own and also have experience working as an assistant at a Veterinary clinic. l've cared for cats and dogs of all different breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m very comfortable handling different needs and temperaments. I quickly build connections with the pets I care for. I’m very professional, dependable and responsible. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, stays safe and comfortable, and is happy and having fun while in my care.

Marissa was wonderful. She was warm and great with the cats. Communication was perfect and we felt very comfortable with her caring for our babes. We will definitely book her services again in the future. 💕

Marissa went above and beyond for my dog. He had an upset stomach for several of the days she dropped in on him and she handled everything with grace. I highly recommend her as a rover.

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.
