Safety, trust & environment

My fiancé works from home, so if I am out on a walk or drop in visit, there will always be someone home. If I am sitting in a home for a client, I am make sure that I don’t book if the majority of my time will be spent elsewhere. If you book me to pet sit I plan to be there the majority of my day. I will always be sure to administer medication and feed on time

Information Marissa F. would like to know about your pet

Dietary restrictions. Allergies. Are they treated for fleas and ticks (if not, we won't go on trails to avoid exposure). Are you okay with them going to a pond? Are you okay with me giving them a bath?

A typical day

Love to go on walks around the neighborhood while your fur baby is getting used to me. I also enjoy taking high energy dogs to the dog park (with owner's permission of course) to play fetch/frisbee/tug of war etc. I have also taken some pups to Carolyn Ludwig Mugrage Park. They have great trails and there is an awesome dog park with a pond for them to romp around in! I bring a portable water bowl on all walks. Also, I'm happy give a bath after pond playtime.

Pets

Former vet assistant, animal lover

Pet care experience

I have always had a true love for all animals, to the point I became a veterinary assistant for several years. I then branched off and started my own pet care company, Pet Care Pros Ohio. It all began with volunteering at my local humane society at 10 years old. Then, at 12 years old I became a volunteer at an equestrian center taking care of the elderly owner's livestock and house pets. At age 15 I added in working at the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Texas caring for several large cats and even a bear! Currently, I have three miniature dachshunds and a cat. They are my whole world, basically my kids :) If you are looking for someone to love and take care your pet(s) like they're family, I know I'd be an excellent fit! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets, take them for walks, clean them up, whatever you need! I am available before 2pm Mon-Wed and anytime on Thursdays and Fridays. Weekends available upon request :) I have plenty of experience and great success with leash training dogs using positive reinforcement. I do not beed to use "choke" collars. I have many sizes of harnesses/collars should you need me to provide one during my visit :) I provide my own waste bags and treats. Please let me know if there are any dietary restrictions for your fur baby!

Marissa stepped in on short notice and did a wonderful job! I’d be happy to have her care for my boys again in the future. Thank you, Marissa!

Marissa is a gem, loves what she does, and is more than respectfully accommodating with her flexibility. She delivers 110%.

Marissa did a fabulous job taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. The cats really liked her and she was very easy to work with. I highly recommend her if you need in-home pet care!

Marisa is a most pleasant and compassionate sitter. She is flexible, accommodating, and stays on top of her correspondence. She definitely loves animals and it shows in her conversation and how she takes her service seriously. She’s a joy to have a responsible individual to take care of my cats while I’m gone.

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.
