Life of an experienced foster
Hi, I’m Marissa! I’m a life long dog lover and a dog foster for rescue dogs the last 5 years. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, many breeds, with differing medical needs. I’ve had pup Hazel for 2 years now; she loves everyone but is content to hang out from afar with any new friends who need their space. (Please note, for any first time stays the dogs would typically be kept separate in my home and not walked together, with the ability to always keep them separate depending on your preferences). I work very close to home allowing for lunch breaks filled with walks and play or more frequent check ins as needed. I can’t wait to meet your dog! (If my calendar shows as unavailable, please feel free to send me a message just in case!)

Ratings and reviews
Marissa took care of my 18 month old rescue pup for a week while I was on vacation and did a great job. She shared a bunch of photos and my dog seemed to have a blast playing with hers. It's our second time staying with Marissa and I would definitely book her again.
Marissa was great, and particularly helpful in coordinating drop-off and pickup. I got good updates from her as well and my dog seemed happy.
Marissa was great and took good care of Trudy. She was good about sending us pictures. We booked her again for April.
Marissa was great. Gave lots of updates and pics. I have a more anxious dog and she seemed happy staying with Marissa. Highly recommend.
Your dog will have a blast with Marissa and get wonderful care! She showed so much love and special attention to our senior dog.
Marissa was amazing with my playful adolescent pup! This was my first time using Rover, and she met with me ahead of time and answered all my questions to help me feel comfortable. She was flexible and a good communicator, and sent lots of photos. My dog came home tired and happy!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home consists of myself, my pup Hazel, my roommate Cassie, and her pup Zoella. Hazel is just happy to tag along. She would love a new friend and playmate if that’s what your pup wants. But she is also content to just hang out or from afar if your pup needs their space. Zoella loves a new friend to play with and is happy to play bitey face or chew on toys together. Some of my favorite tools to utilize are long leads, mealtime enrichment, and classical music. I love to follow your prescriptive routines to help your dog adjust while you’re away in any capacity. Your dog will typically be kept separate from our dogs the first time I watch them to ensure they can get to know and trust me, and I can learn to read your dog’s needs and cues. All dogs will be introduced individually, from afar to begin, and can always be kept separate for their stay from either or both dogs if needed.

A typical day
I love to take dogs on walks, work with manners on lead, and let them explore on a long lead. I have plenty of toys or chews as well as food enrichment puzzles.
