Ready to meet your pet care needs!

I’m a huge animal lover and taking care pets always puts a smile on my face! I have had pets my whole life and have always had a strong love for animals. I have been exposed to pets with different types of temperaments and energy levels, and I feel comfortable caring for a wide range of ages and behaviors. I have been a pet sitter and dog walker for many families over the past few years for various cats and dogs. I currently have two cats of my own and in my spare time, I volunteer at the Purrfect Day Cat Cafe through the Kentucky Humane Society. I have experience administering liquid and pill form medications to both dogs and cats. In addition, I can perform baths and light grooming for dogs. I love walking dogs, playing with them, keeping them engaged and entertained, as well as giving them lots of love and attention. I have a big heart for pets and I'm eager and ready to be a companion for them when their owner is occupied. I currently work remotely in clinical trial project management, so I have a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I love being able to break up my day to help care for animals! I am happy to follow all specific directions regarding safety, in order to build trust with both you and your pet. Whether it is a specific method for obtaining the house key or setting an alarm, I can do whatever works best for you and your household to keep everyone safe.

We always feel better leaving when Marvin is being taken care of by Marissa!

Our Marvin loves Marissa! She makes sure he's well loved and also helps with taking care of the house while we're away. Very grateful for her.

We always feel confident that our little Marvin will be well taken care of and given much love when we book Marissa. She is consistently the best cat sitter we've had.

Marissa is such a great cat sitter. She cares about our Marvin and makes sure he is given all the love and attention he needs while we’re gone.

Cats were happy to see us when we got home. Lots of rubs and purrs for the weary travelers. Marissa kept in contact and as usual did an outstanding job. One of the new additions is warming up nicely to her too!

Marissa did a drop-in visit for our two dogs and she did a great job! I felt so comfortable with her after our first meeting! Loved all the updates and pictures we received during the day. Can’t wait to use her again!

It is really helpful to know how dogs react to seeing other dogs especially if it makes them upset, if there are any particular cue words that the dog responds best to, and what makes the dog happiest such as certain ways to play or pet them before I take care of them.
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.
