Availability

I currently only work one day a week caring for a family of dogs, cats, and fish on Thursdays. I have occasional pet sitting jobs for a couple clients when they leave for vacations. Also my babysitting job ends for the summer. So, I am pretty flexible with days you may need. I am usually available day and night M,T,W,F. I also have weekend availability but occasionally have wedding gigs on weekends (I am also a singer). My schedule is pretty flexible at the moment.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very safe neighborhood where cars drive slow and my apartment is far from the road anyways. I have a yard your dog can play in and when I take them for walks, I can safely take them on sidewalks and on leash. I have experience with walking dogs with behavioral issues that are more difficult to walk on leashes or train.

Information Marissa D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special tasks needed for me to complete to make sure I can provide the best care possible. Also if your animal has any behavioral issues I can take into account and prepare for ahead of time.

A typical day

Your dog’s happiness and health is my biggest priority. I will make sure they have unlimited water, take them for long walks, play with them, brush them, and give them plenty of love.

Pet care experience

I have 4+ years of professional pet sitting caring for large & small dogs, all age ranges of cats, and exotic animals including bunnies and fish. I am able to care for multiple animals at once and multitask well. I currently work for a family of 4 golden retrievers, 1 lab/pit mix, 2 cats, and over 15 exotic fish, one day a week. My tasks for the dogs include taking them for long walks, cleaning up after them, brushing all 5 dogs, playing ball, and doing training exercises with them. For the cats, I feed, brush, clean their litter box, and give them plenty of love. For the fish, I feed them and occasionally do water changes. I also do light housework like sweeping, dishes and laundry help if needed. But of course, the fur babie’s safety and happiness are my main priority. I can care for all age ranges of animals and am comfortable taking care of multiple animals at once.

Marissa is super reliable and very communicative. I just moved and was anxious about finding a new dog walker. Im so lucky to have found Marissa so quickly. It's really taken a lot of stress out of moving to a new place!

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.
