Dog lover with a love for fun!
Pet care experience
I have been around all types of dogs in my life, ranging from Yorkies to Bully breeds and everything in between. I love to have fun, go on walks, play fetch, practice training, snuggle and give belly rubs, and so much more! I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13 for friends and family who either needed just a few hours of watch time, or a week+ while they were on vacation. I am very versatile, adaptable and would love to watch your fur baby for you!
Reviews
As soon as we walked in Marissa’s house for a meet & greet, we knew our pup, Chloe, felt comfortable and safe. Marissa’s communication was great while we were out of the country for the week with sporadic internet service. We couldn’t get many text messages, so we were using Instagram to communicate and every time we could check we had an update and post with Chloe. Thank you Marissa for taking care of our fur-baby and all her needs! We’ll definitely be in touch with future dates for Chloe to come visit.
Awesome! My fur baby was happy and looked right at home. Marissa was super accommodating and wonderful!
Our dog, Buddy, recently stayed with Marissa for a week while my husband and I were on vacation. Before the stay, Marissa had us over for a meet and greet and both myself, and Buddy, immediately felt comfortable with her. Marissa is quick to respond to messages, organized, asks lots of thoughtful questions, and it was very clear that she is good at, and enjoys, hosting pets. I got updates and pictures from Marissa throughout the stay, and it was very clear that our boy was very happy and loved. We will definitely book Marissa to watch Buddy again, I'm so thankful to have found her!
Marissa was absolutely awesome. She took our two little dogs in at the last minute so we could make an impromptu trip into the City. We had never left our dogs with anyone but family members, and we were a little apprehensive about leaving our dog with a Rover sitter. Marissa put our minds at ease from the first moment we met her. Her love for animals was obvious. She kept us updated throughout the day with text messages, photos and videos. Thank you, Marissa!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I analyze each environment to create the safest space for the animal to feel most comfortable. I’ll make sure they have a comfy spot to rest, food and water, and they will always be on leash when outside unless we are in a gated yard.

A typical day
I like to go on a few walks per day, especially to the quiet park next to my house. I practice training tricks, play with toys, and enjoy hanging out on the couch for some cuddle time!
