Safety, trust & environment

I will most likely always go over the allotted time we have scheduled as I really do love hanging out with new friends. For walks, if there is a trail near by, we will probably check that out and try to take different routes each time we’re together to make for a better sensory experience. For drop in visits, I’ll sort of follow their lead. Let them out to potty and then we’ll play and eat if it’s feeding time. I love notes of their favorite things to do, toys, etc. so I can feel a little more familiar to them by giving them those opportunities of familiar activities.

Information Marissa F. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with a vast variety of breeds and feel comfortable with any age, breed and energy level! Please simply share any allergies/sensitivities, triggers and preferences. :)

A typical day

In nature is my favorite place to be! I love finding new trails and parks to experience throughout Columbus and Grove City. With this warmer weather upon us, we will most likely spend our days outside as much as possible! I am so fortunate to be able to work from home, so if your dog hangs out with me for the day, we will most likely be outside enjoying the kiddie pool in my backyard, going for walks and then relaxing on the cool covered patio with some fresh ice water.

Pet care experience

Hi there! :) I'd love to care for your pet(s) while you're stuck at the office, away enjoying a vacation, at the kids’ sporting activities, or whatever the case may be. I have volunteered or worked in the animal welfare space for over 7 years now and am Fear Free certified. I have lived with dogs, cats and other varying creatures my entire life and couldn't imagine a world without them. When I'm not spending time with my pets, you can find me volunteering with a local animal shelter or rescue, enjoying our parks and breweries, out on a hike, or tending to my plants. :) Trust me, I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of someone else. I promise they'll be in the best care with me as I will give them nothing but love and my full attention during our time together. Currently, I have limited availability, but please don’t hesitate to reach out to share your situation in the chance I may be able to assist! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! :)

Marissa is a wonderful and trustworthy pet sitter! Our cats were well taken care of while we were away during the holidays. Look forward to book with Marissa again for our cats and dog.

Super caring for our dog and love having her taken for walks by Ms Marissa who has plenty of treats and cool places to smell along the walk.

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.
