Make sure you communicate anything you feel as I should know! Even if it’s just sharing your pups favorite toy. I love learning as much as I can about them. Any allergies?

Pets

I love dogs with my whole heart

Pet care experience

I used to work at a dog daycare for 2 years and now I am an elementary teacher. I have two Australian shepherd’s and a kitty of my own, so I know the importance of handling someone else’s fur baby. I love doing rover because aside from the chaos in the classroom, my other job is cuddling your pets!

Marissa was so helpful! I ran into a problem during my booking and she was so flexible and communicative during the process of getting everything straightened out. I’m so grateful that my cat was well-looked after while I was out of town!

Marissa was just phenomenal for us!! We couldn’t recommend her more. From a great meet and greet to fantastic visits, we couldn’t be happier. We asked her to look after our cat, and it turned out to not be as easy as it sounds! The first day we found out she had been locked out, so the second vist she met with a locksmith who took a while to get there. She had lots of patience and was worried about our cat! I feel very grateful we had her watching our cat’
