Tons of playtime & remeberable phot

Pet care experience

My house use to be a foster home for shelter dogs who needed a little extra care to get out of their shell. I've loved and fostered every thing from Pittbulls and Saint Bernards to Chihuahuas and Terriers. I'm high energy so they will get constant attention and potty breaks. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and getting home to play around a little with them. At night, I enjoy making comfy blanket nest on the couch and watching Netflix. So if your dog/cat likes to snuggle we'll be best friends while you're away. I'm a great, reliable, and safe option for all your dog/cat care needs. I can bathe even the most rambunctious of pets. I can trim your dogs nails and clean their ears safely and carefully. I'm available Monday-Friday 5pm-11:30pm, Saturday-Sunday 1pm-11:30pm, and of course overnight for those boarded furry friends.

Marissa is truly a lifesaver! I have a 2 month old puppy who is inevitably needy and requires a lot of attention. She was great with him being super duper patient and accomodating! She also sent me a bunch of pictures and updates that made me feel like I was there with him even though I was stuck at work. Your babies are definitely in good hands with her!!

Marissa was great with Magic. She contacted me to let me know how it was going and what they were doing. We felt Magic was in good hands and safe with Marissa.

Marissa was a great caregiver to our snickers. She sent updates and pictures on him. She gave him attention, loving and cuddles the whole time. We would definitely recommend her and would definitely go back as well. Snickers seemed to enjoy her as wel. She’s also very great with short notice which is a plus and she’s very flexible with things.

Needed to go out of town on short notice and couldn't get a family member to dog-sit. Contacted Marisa through the Rover app and quickly made an appointment to have her house-sit when watching my dog. Everything went perfectly - Marissa walked my dog, made sure she took her medicine, and sent me updates on their evening. Will definitely make an appointment with Marissa to watch my dog the next time I go out of town!

Information Marissa L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they are potty-trained and if they need any special needs. Due to my smaller home, I do not have any breed preferences but I have size limit.

A typical day

During our walks we will walk around Drake University and my surrounding dog friendly neighborhood. While out we could possibly run into some friends, who would give your dog tons of love.
