I currently work full time but my schedule is flexible! I have completely open weekends and during the week I can drop in and do walks in the evenings! I would love to be able to take some time to help care for your pets :) If you're looking in advance for holiday help, I'll be in the Boston area and available for drop ins and walks all day on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Years Eve/Day!

Safety, trust & environment

I allow my pets on my bed and couch and we play very often! Lots of running up and down the halls for both my cat and dog. They are certainly spoiled, healthy, and very happy! I intend to keep your pets feeling the same. If you have any specific requirements you'll just have to let me know!

Information Marissa P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any specifics regarding treats, training specifics, and related things. If the dog is reactive in any way and details regarding that would be great as well! My dog is reactive and has gotten significantly better with training so I feel okay walking a reactive dog :).

A typical day

I love to go for runs or just walk outdoors. If the owner is interested and can give a few extra details, I can help work on some training (heel, loose leash, etc.) while we are on our walk. I'm not certified but I have put many hours of research and time into training my own dog!

Pet care experience

I currently have an Australian Shepherd named Moose and a cat named Roger! They are the loves of my life and I spend large amounts of time training and walking with Moose and taking care of both of them. I love being active - walking and running with my dog and would love to do either with yours! I'm experienced in giving meds to both cats and dogs and with all other basics of pet care for them as well. I am excited to work with you and your pets and help give them lots of love and care!

Marissa sent the best photos of Artemis while she was watching her! She was great to work with and I’ll definitely be rebooking for future visits!

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.
