I work from home so I am around most of the time. I periodically have to leave home, but no longer than a few hours at a time. My husband is usually home too. We live in a large new apartment that has two balconies. We live right by a park and take our dog to the park throughout the day. I generally take a long walk in the afternoon with the pups. I do have a little fake grass patch on one of the balconies in case there is an emergency!

Safety, trust & environment

I am willing to follow directions and apply any dietary needs to your pet. Our balconies are safe. We do have stairs, but if your dog is old, we are willing to pick them up to go up and down the stairs. We always keep the leash on when we walk and go to the park. We live by the beach, but have an AC unit if it gets hot or muggy.

Information Marissa V. would like to know about your pet

Any special dietary needs or quirks. I always wanna make sure the pups are as comfortable as possible. The more information the better so I can have a successful time with your fur child.

A typical day

I walk the dogs to the park in the morning. Then we do breakfast. I work from home so I take the dogs out quite regularly. At the end of the day I do a walk that’s longer.

Pet care experience

I grew up on a dairy farm in the country. I’ve been around a plethora of animals my whole life. Currently just have my sweet adopted dog Rosie who has been with me for over 10 years. I’ve been watching my friends dogs for years. I always seem to have another pup in the house I am watching. I decided to finally set up a rover profile:) My house is clean and organized. Dogs are allowed on couches and beds. I make sure to give lots of hugs and belly rubs!

Marissa was great! We were in a real jam and she saved the day! Not only did she allow to book, literally at the last minute, she and her husband were so gracious and kind. We felt our, Kiki, was in loving hands. If were ever in town again, we would not hesitate leave Kiki with them again!

Marissa and her husband and pup are wonderful. They kept great care of my girl. She obviously bonded with them and made sure she said good bye. They were flexible and helpful. I would highly recommend their care.

Our pup had such a great time with Marissa and her husband. They sent regular updates and brought him on many fun and adventurous walks. They were very up for the challenge of a very energetic puppy and even gave him a chew toy to take home that he became attached to while staying with them. They were very easy to work with and very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Would definitely recommend!
