Paw-some stay at home dog mom!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Marissa. I love pups and kitties of all sizes! Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have a great love for animals! I have over 10 years of experience as a dog walker/pet sitter and have worked at a high end boutique pet hotel. I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your babes while you are away, either at work or on holiday. Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own. I absolutely love and adore my fur baby Petunia, a 4yo Goldendoodle. She is the friendliest and best behaved girl. A lot of dogs find her calming to be around:) We are looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies.

Marissa took care of our pup during a 13 night vacation and it was so comforting to know he was in such great hands! Marissa sent pictures and updates daily and Finn had a great time playing with petunia (Marissa’s sweet dog)!

Thank you for taking care of your Pup for the day. The pictures sure looked like he was having fun. And he was happy and tired afterwards. We will definitely book again.

I cannot say enough about Marissa. Our puppy was in her care over a weekend, and he was happy and healthy when we returned. Marissa has great communications and a very safe environment. Our dog got fed, loved on, and exercised to his hearts content. I would definitely book with Marissa again.

Marissa took the time to come and meet our skittish boys before agreeing to the visit. They immediately loved her and so did we! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pups!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced all grass large yard. Treated organically/naturally for fleas and pests, etc. No harsh or dangerous chemicals. There would be potty(about every 4 hours and play breaks outside, but time outside would be determined by the heat of the day. We don't want too much outside time if it's too warm! The day would be free roam in the house with fresh water , toys, and lots of cushy places to lay around available always. House is very clean with nothing to get into.

Information Marissa P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about potty training. It's not a deal breaker but I would like to know if there are some challenges so that we can come up with solutions ahead of time like belly bands etc.... What, if any, allergies to treats and foods. Doggos temperament with people and other animals, in home and on walks(unfortunately I won’t be able to host any animals with aggression) I do require a meet and greet before any stay. I'd like to know If your bud is vaxxed. Any special needs in general or special treatments that you think that I should know about for your baby to have the best time! **FOR DROP IN VISITS: I can only do ONE drop in visit for your bud per day** I would love an honest review at the end of the stay! I am newer to Rover and have set my prices to attract new clients but honestly I don't think that I will change them much, if at all. I do think that there should be options for high quality pet care at an affordable price. If you feel like the services were worth more and it's within your budget, there are options to tip after a stay:)

A typical day

We are gonna be the cozy hang gang! Wherever I am, the dogs will be! Free roam household. At least one daily walk around the safe neighborhood. Playtime/water time in the yard depending on the temps outside. Lots of cozy spots to curl up for low key day naps:)

It's just me and my partner(no kids). I am a stay at home dog mom and have a lot of time to dedicate to having the best time with the pups! Maybe we will catch up on some trashy reality TV, have some tasty treats, or go on a leisurely walk around our safe neighborhood(I go on two walks per day in the cooler hours of the day)
