WFH so your fur baby won’t be alone

UPDATE: I just added a new addition to the family, he is a 5 month old frenchie named Elliot. I am able to do short stays without him, but would love to be able to bring him along to hang out with me and your fur baby if possible. He is potty trained and very well behaved. My name is Marissa, I have an unconditional love for dogs and all other animals. I will treat them with the love I treat my own. Sadly I just lost my soul dog Bella, she was a 15 year old cocker spaniel. I’m not ready to get another dog of my own quite yet, I’m still getting over the heartbreak, but my love for animals is endless and unconditional. Rover allows me to still get the furry love in my life! It’s my dream to open a rescue of my own one day. You can be at complete and total peace when your pet is in my care. I will treat them as my own and handle them with the utmost love, care and compassion. I’m excited to get to know you and your fur baby!

Safety, trust & environment

My roommate has another dog, so at this time, it would be best for me to watch them at your house. That way your fur baby can be in the comfort of their home! I follow any instructions, and keep them on their routine and give extra love while you are away.

Bailey was so happy with Marissa, she didn’t want her to leave! The love Marissa showed for Bailey was exactly what I was hoping for while away. She is definitely an animal lover and was so polite and sweet.

Marissa is awesome! She’s watched my boy nearly a handful of times now and is very loving with him. She’s easy to communicate with and very flexible when my travel plans don’t always go according to plan. I highly recommend her!

Marissa is hands down one of the best. From consistent pictures to truly making me comfortable with leaving my fur baby with her. You can tell she truly loves the animals she cares for like they are her own. Her rates for the level of service provided are second to none and you should not think twice about booking her! Thank you so much!

I can’t say enough good things about Marissa. She came over twice before watching my kitty so I felt comfortable. My kitty needed medicine with extra care and Marissa nailed it. She sent lots of pictures and the videos I needed for the vet. Great communication! She went above and beyond for my kitties. She is flexible, understanding and kind. Highly recommended and will use her again.

Doggy Day Care • Dec 15, 2025

Wow! What a great person to have representing Rover. She agreed to watch my dog while I took my 87y/o MIL to a Christmas concert. My timing got blown up the way only a MIL or an 87 y/o can do. The sitter rolled with the changes no questions asked. She’s a great communicator and dog sitter!!! Definitely will recommend and schedule another time!

Marissa is awesome. I have seen how all dogs fall in love with her immediately. She is sweet and kind and likes nothing more than spending time with her furry freiinds. Our dog Wallace can’t wait to drop in and visit her. You can’t do better than Marisa when looking for a sitter.

Schedule

I work fully remote so my schedule is very flexible and I have lots of time to give your pet love. I love to go for walks and play at the park if your fur baby wants to burn some energy! Or if they’re older and want to be a couch potato, I’m okay with that too. They will get all my love and attention.

If they have any medicine, feeding times, their daily routine. I want to make sure I keep them in their routine and take the absolute best care of them while they’re in my care. Also please let me know their rules! Are they allowed on furniture and what kind of treats are they allowed? :)
