Information Marissa T. would like to know about your pet

I like to know how your pet does with other dogs/cats. What their potty schedule/meal schedules are, as well as any medications that need administratored and when.

A typical day

The type of stimulation is completely dog dependant. Some dogs do not care about me at all, and just see being in my home as an opportunity to play with their friends. Others just prefer snuggles. When the weather is nice, with owner permission we will occasionally go to a dog park or a trail, and stop for pup cups on the way home. There are plenty of toys for them to choose from, and a big back yard for me to throw balls for them to chase and never bring back.?

I am excited to help care for your

Pet care experience

I have had cats since I was 6, currently have one cat, one dog, and two guinea pigs. I also have sat for high energy dogs, cats (both pre and post amputation), and lizards. I am excited to have walks, play time, and care of your pets incorporated into my daily routine. If your pup needs socialized, my dog is a great first meet and greet to help them learn how to play with other dogs. I have no problem taking your pets on walks, cleaning out litter boxes, or dog park trips. As of right now I do not yet have a fenced in yard, but once I am able to get a fence put in will be more than happy to have the extra home visitors. I am excited to meet all of your fur babies!

Marissa always does a fantastic job taking care of our pets. She gives them each attention, provides detailed updates, and gets lots of photos. Anytime there is an accident or unexpected issue she is quick to jump into action while keeping us updated. We are so thankful to have her as a sitter. We would highly recommend her.

We had a great experience with Marissa! She was kind and curious, and I could tell she put a lot of effort into learning about each dog that was staying with her. She was genuinely interested in learning more about my dog and her specific needs, and then did everything she could to ensure my dog had a comfortable stay. Marissa also sent regular updates and check-ins while we were out of town, which I really appreciated. All in all, we would happily book with her again!

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.
