Safety, trust & environment

My cats will go outside into a fenced off yard and while they are outside will keep an eye on them. I won’t force your animals to do anything with me but if they want to play or go outside (if that is allowed) I will happily do so.

Information Marissa D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dogs or cats have any special needs as I may not be able to help them. I don’t have a preference in cats or dogs.

A typical day

I would ask you if there any parks or places that your dog likes to go near your home. As I don’t have a dog of my own I’m not exactly sure of where the best dog parks or places to walk with dogs are.

Pets

I am a cat lover college student

Pet care experience

I have 2 cats of my own and helped take care of a past 21 1/2 old cat my family had until 3 years ago. Cuddling and playing with cats bring me so much enjoy. My fiancé Sammie is a dog specialist. She handles the dog walking and dog care. She was raised around dogs, and dog sat in her childhood. I have a fenced yard that both of my cats go out and play and relax. My cats roam everywhere in the house and can curl up anywhere.

The communication from these sitters was less than desired. They did send occasional pictures but not really showing anything other than proof of life. They also left at noon on the last day rather than the 10:00pm originally requested.

Marissa did a great job checking in on our two cats while we were traveling for a few days! We would be happy to have her help out again in the future!

The initial meeting with Marissa and Sam was great. They were very pleasant to talk to and our girls took to them immediately. Unfortunately, their communication was lacking. We booked them for house sitting for 7 days (Mon-Mon) and we heard from them 4 times, once because I reached out and asked if everything was okay. Also, although we’re aware the booking was over a major holiday, they did leave our dogs home alone for 12 hours on Christmas Day.

Marissa is our go to cat sitter! Rover was intimidating with all the “dog people…” I wasn’t sure if we’d find someone happy to watch our cats! But, Marissa clearly cares for them. She takes the time not just to feed them and check on them but pet and play with them which gives me a lot of peace of mind when we’re out of town. 10/10 recommend!

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.
