PAWS-itively the best!

Pet care experience

I have been a pet sitter on Rover for over 6 years and am not going anywhere anytime soon. My philosophy for pet sitting is to give your pet a vacation of their own, treat your home with the utmost respect and when you return it like I was never there. I have rode horses my whole life and have had pet rabbits, but also have cared for birds and even snakes, so no pet is too small, too big, or too scaly for me to handle. I am at the pets disposal I will be their couch I will endlessly throw a toy, or just be the person that puts food in their bellies and gives ample ear scratches. About me personally, I was born and raised in Iowa, graduated in Feb 2020 with a undergrad in Human Resources and am now pursuing a duel MBA in Accounting and human Resources. I have been at my full time job, as a lead accountant of a local CR towing company for over 10 years, I work Mon-Fri 8am-5pm. I enjoy hiking at palisades, binge watching netflix, and walking the cedar valley nature trail, and would love to paws-itively provide amazing pet sitting services for you!

Perfect as always! We were gone for two weeks and knew our puppers would be taken care of thanks to Marissa!

Perfect as always! We love that we know our fur baby will be taken care of even though he can be more frustrating as he ages. Marissa has never complained and is always understanding when we explain our new challenges such as hearing loss leading to more incessant barking. Don’t hesitate to book her!

I would love to know things your pet loves to do, what times they need fed, in general just what you are needing from me to provide the best care possible!
