Animal lover & Medical student
Pet care experience
I have had dogs and cats at home since the day I was born. We have always adopted rescues! I currently live with my too-spoiled kitty Roxy and frequently visit my mom to see our family dog Bailey and cat Paisley. I have been pet-sitting for over 15 years for friends and family. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats. Having always raised rescues, I am comfortable with the full spectrum of pets, from nervous and shy animals to the outgoing and rambunctious ones. I am also experienced caring for senior animals and animals with special or medical needs.
Reviews
Maryssa was a pleasure to meet and have to stay in our home with our scaredy-cat while we were away. She is very conscientious and an excellent communicator! Not only did she take great care of Rudy, but also left no trace behind upon our return. Maryssa is very sweet, kind and caring and we wish we had found her sooner.
Amazing! First time we used Rover and our girls loved Maryssa! First time leaving the girls for a week and having Maryssa in our home living the dogs daily schedule was such a relief and blessing. Top notch. Maryssa came 2x to visit the girls before we left so they could get to know her a bit. Maryssa sent many pictures through her stay. 100% happy!
Maryssa was absolutely amazing. Maryssa was very quick to respond and helped us out greatly when another rover backed out last minute. She took excellent care of our dog and our home. She sent tons of photos and videos and was very responsive to any questions. Thank you Maryssa!
Maryssa was amazing! Both of our dogs loved her while she stayed at our home! She communicated with us the whole time we were on vacation, sending pictures each day and videos of them playing outside. Definitely would recommend if you are looking for a dog sitter. We have a large and small dog, so she does great with both!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I look forward to creating a safe and trusting environment for your pet and you. Having had friends and family sit my own pets, I know how nerve-wracking it to be to put your fur babies in the care of someone else. I hope to make the experience comfortable and stress free! I am comfortable with controlling rambunctious animals, as well as connecting with the shy ones.
Information Maryssa M. would like to know about your pet

A typical day
Lots of playing, walks, and cuddles! Depending on the dog and owner’s comfortability, can take dogs to dog parks or pet stores for a new toy as well!
