Cat lover and dog mom

Pet care experience

My name is Marissa and I work in healthcare. In my spare time, I love cat/dog sitting and dog walking. I have done all of these for the last couple years and have more recently become a dog foster. As a dog foster, I have gained more experience in dealing with behavioral issues with dogs. I enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs and spoiling them with treats (if allowed)! I always focus on taking care of only one or two dogs at a time. I am also happy to do drop ins for both dogs and cats! Would love the opportunity to watch your dogs or cats or walk your dogs! Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you.

We are so happy that we found Marissa to check in on our sweet cat Spooky while we were away. I’m usually very nervous, and we were going to be very far away for over a week, but after meeting Marissa, we were both very comfortable and confident that Spooky would be in good hands. We looked forward to the photos Marissa sent us each day of Spooky playing, and we returned to a happy and healthy kitty. Thank you for your efficient communication and for taking wonderful care of our baby!

We have 2 6-month-old kittens, and this is the first time we have left them alone. This was also our first time using Rover, and we were very nervous as we would be 5 hours away if something went wrong. Marissa met us prior to our trip to meet Stormy and Shadow. The process could not have gone any smoother. Marissa arrived as scheduled daily and we received reassuring photos which allowed us to enjoy our time away. We would definitely use Rover/Marissa in the future.

Marissa is my go to cat sitter. She always does a fantastic job communicates quickly, and I know my cats will be taken care of while I’m away!

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.
