Pet care experience

Reliable Care for Cats & Dogs Alike

Over the past 8 years I’ve been caring for animals through Rover and other sources. My experience ranges from puppies/kittens to elderly dogs and cats. I am able to give animals medicine if needed. I’ve cared for reactive animals, I have experience with reptiles and small animals, like rodents as well. I love animals in all shapes and sizes (: I grew up with lizards, turtles, frogs, birds, dogs and cats, my house was a zoo! I currently have one dog and two cats. I use to have two dogs, in 2022 my older one passed away. He was a shelter pup so I have experience with helping him adjust to a new environment. He was quite territorial and reactive to other pets so I have experience with helping calm him down in those situations and getting him comfortable living with new animals. The dog I have now is a golden retriever, I’ve had him since he was 3 months old. I have potty trained and house trained him, I don’t leave him kenneled when im gone. Him and my shelter pup did get along (not at first haha) they ended up being best friends. I’m very patient and responsible. Both cats I’ve had since they were kittens, one is a rescue.

Safety, trust & environment

If I’m house sitting, I will keep an eye on your pet all day. Dogs get to go potty as much as they need, I usually take my dog out every 2-3 hours.

Mars was wonderful! She let our boys out on a drop in visit and updated us on how they were doing during the visit with messages and pics. Very excited to have found her through Rover!

Marissa was great with my pup! She communicated very well and sent a very detailed Rover card of their walk with lots of cute pictures! I would definitely use her services again!

Marissa was amazing. She housesit for my husband and I for a week taking care of our two cats and elderly bulldog. She followed all my crazy directions for care and sent multiple daily updates the 8 days we were out of town. I fully trusted her because of how honest and caring she was and the house was impeccable when we returned. We will book again!
