Safety, trust & environment

I have two cats of my own so unfortunately boarding is not an option. However, I have plenty of experience doing in home visits, both drop ins and overnights. I am very active and I'm open to longer walks or games to make sure your pet is satisfied at home.

Information Marissa H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet needs any extra help with anything such as medication, training, or mobility. I will do my best to accommodate their needs and I am happy to come meet you and your pet prior to the visit to learn about any special needs.

A typical day

I know how important both physical and mental stimulation are for our pets! I am able to take them out for plenty of exercise, either around your neighborhood or at some local dog friendly parks and trails! I would love to hear about some of your favorite brain games that you play with your pet!

Pet care experience

I started pet sitting when I was about 10 years old with my neighbor's cat. Over the years I have pet sat for fish, hamsters, cats, and dogs of various breeds and sizes. I currently have two cats and I love dogs, but I don't have one of my own yet.

We waited until the last minute to find a dog sitter and Marissa absolutely saved the day (and our vacation!) She is a clear, concise communicator who really took the time to get to know our dog and his needs. Would absolutely recommend!!

Marissa took wonderful care of our cats and dog. She went above and beyond, gave updates throughout the visit and everyone was happy when we retuned. Thank you, Marissa!

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.
