I work part-time so I have lots of time to care for your pet. I am an outdoorsy person who loves to take walks and I'd love to have your dog accompany me. I always enjoy going to the dog park (Minnehaha and Battle Creek are my favorites!) I also realize that cats have need for physical activity just like dogs do. I’d love play with them and provide enrichment (unless they'd rather nap).

Safety, trust & environment

I am a clean and quiet individual who will treat your home like my own. I am currently doing drop-ins and housesitting but cannot provide boarding at this time.

Information Marit H. would like to know about your pet

I strive to provide the same level of care that you do for your own pet, and I want to make sure that their routines are the same as when you’re at home.

A typical day

I love coming up with new games for dogs to play - hiding treats rolled up in towels, playing hide and seek with toys, freezing treats in ice for the hot summer months.. making sure your dog is physically and mentally stimulated everyday is very important to me.

Pets

Marit H. has Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

I offer long-term dog walking!

Pet care experience

I have years of experience as a dog groomer, dog daycare coach, and pet sitter. This has given me valuable experience working with all temperaments and sizes of dogs - anywhere from timid Chihuahuas to energetic Doodles. I love creating a relationship with all of the animals that I work with. Being around energetic dogs all day does makes me miss cats and their calmer energy, so I will gladly play and cuddle with your cat! I've spent years volunteering at local cat rescues and am experienced in cleaning and grooming.

Marit has been a regular sitter for our cat for about the past year and a half. Marit takes wonderful care of our girl, is super communicative and responsible, and takes the cutest photos to send to us. Most importantly, our cat adores her! I would highly recommend Marit to anyone interested in a sitter.

Marit did a wonderful job watching my kitty when I was away! She was very responsive, trustworthy, and genuinely cared about my kitty. I really appreciated all the cute photos she sent after each visit and I could tell my cat really liked her. I would definitely book with Marit again.

Marit took wonderful care of our two kitties while we were on an extended vacation. We would fully trust her to watch them 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.
