dog training + cat experience <3

Pet care experience

I have grown up with animals all my life. I used to foster feral kitties in elementary school and volunteered at my local wildlife shelter in high school. After college, I adopted my two dogs, Milo and Sophie. Sophie was adopted as an adult, and she recently passed away after being an amazing companion for over 12 years. Milo is in his golden years, but he’s an extremely active 13 year old “puppy.” We love all animals, and we would treat your pet as part of our family. Dogs: We can host two dogs from the same family, but we prefer not to host more than one dog family at a time so that we can provide as much attention as your pup needs. We will not host any cats or other dogs during your pup(s)’s stay, but we do have a resident dog who is great with cats and dogs. We live right across the street from Bernal Hill so we will be taking them for daily walks there and to the beach and other parks around San Francisco on the weekends! Cats: We can host two cats from the same family, but we prefer not to host more than one cat family at a time so that we can provide as much attention as your kitty needs. We will not host any dogs or other cats during your kitty’s stay, but we do have a resident dog who is great with cats and dogs.

Marissa is the best Catsitter I can find in Rover. She really went beyond and above to take care of Garfield

Marissa is incredible. She watched my active Corgi for two weeks while I was out of town, and she was always keeping me in the loop by sending photos and videos. I will definitely be reaching out to her next time I need someone to watch my pup, who I can tell is already quite bonded to her. I highly recommend Marissa for all your pet sitting needs! Not only is she incredibly kind to and engaged with the dogs she cares for, but she's also very active and engaged through communication as a sitter. While I was away, I knew my pup was in good hands and had no worries whatsoever. Thank you, Marrisa!

Marissa was absolutely wonderful with Sassy! I received updated photos during my trip which showed me how much fun Sassy had when I was gone. I am confident she had a wonderful time exploring new parks, meeting new dogs, and trying to get Milo to give her attention. I will definitely ask Marissa to watch my pup in the future. I know she is in good hands and is well cared for. Thank you Marissa and Mark for taking care of my fur baby!

Marissa went above and beyond, giving us the perfect combination of love, training, walks, and communication! Can’t recommend her and her husband highly enough. Being an anxious mom of a 4 month old pup, she responded whenever I wanted with information, pictures and reassurance. Boomer was in great hands and so was I!!

Information Marissa H. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have any breed preferences but I prefer dogs who are potty trained and generally friendly with other dogs, though I'm pretty patient but firm and will try to do a bit of training with your pups when they are in my care. Unfortunately, I'm not able to host any dogs with severe aggression or anxiety issues for the safety of my own pet family.
