Your dogs home away from home!
Pet care experience
I love all animals and wanted to start a Rover to share that love with your babies while giving you an affordable option for that care. I have a friendly, well-behaved golden retriever who just turned 3 (he is neutered) and have loved on him and trained him since he was a puppy, and together we obtained his CGC (Canine Good Citizen) and Therapy Dog certifications. We fell in love with the golden retriever breed and decided to adopt another golden, Nami, in 2021. She is in her “teenager” phase so has a bit more energy than Luffy. Whether your pup is laid back like Luffy or hyper and ready to play like Nami, they’ll have someone that matches their personality!
Reviews
Always a pleasure leaving my girls with Marissa. They always have an amazing time playing there!!!!
As always, Marissa is the best. Fletcher says thank you and he's so sorry for his muddy paws all weekend. See you soon!
Marissa is great and our dogs love going there! I always know they are in good hands with her and can leave my dogs worry free
I had a great experience with Marissa! She watched my two dogs, Jessie and Owen for 2.5 weeks and did a great job. She sent lots of pics every day and I could tell my boys were having a blast at her place, playing with her two dogs. Thanks Marissa!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced yard and live in a great neighborhood for walking! I also have a large sunroom set up as a dog playroom that the pups can use, which leads out to the back yard that they can romp around in as often as they want throughout the day. Between myself, my husband, and my 3 children (ages 13, 9, and 5) there will be so much love and attention for your pups, just like you would give at home. My Golden Retriever is a submissive, well-socialized boy who has gotten along with every dog he’s ever met. Food is always given separately for safety!
Home
Information Marissa A. would like to know about your pet
Aggressive dogs will not be a good fit given that there are children and beloved fur babies in the house. Meet and greets are always required before your dogs stay to make sure that everyone will have a good time while you’re away.
A typical day
I have a perfectly sized fenced-in yard for zoomies, watching the birds and squirrels, or playing fetch! Since I work from home, the pups will always be able to go out for potty breaks and outdoor play sessions throughout the day. I go on two 1 mile walks per day, will treat your pet like my own, and be happy to provide as many updates and pictures as you’d like during their stay.

Availability
I work from home, and being home all day helps tremendously when it comes to pet care, as they never have to worry about being left alone! We have our routine in the morning with breakfast and playtime, and they’re allowed in and out as they please throughout the day. I often have “feet warmers” aka fur babies under my desk while I work, and beside my bed at night!
