Marissa was an awesome choice for house and pet sitting. All of my animals seemed to enjoy her company while we were on vacation. She made sure to provide updates and pictures throughout her stay with them providing us with trust that they were being well cared for. I definitely recommend Marissa and would happily be a return client.

About: Yo hablo español! 🐶When it comes to pet sitting, I believe it’s all about making pets feel like they’re at home, even when their owners are away. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and over the years, I’ve learned how to understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s an elderly dog who needs some quiet time or an energetic dog that loves long walks, I make sure they get the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. What truly sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with each pet—I treat them like they’re part of my family. I’m also really mindful of routines, whether it’s feeding, or just the little things that make a pet’s day feel normal. For me, it’s not just about watching over them; it’s about ensuring they’re safe, loved, and at ease until their owners return. 👫🏻I live with my reptile loving husband, I would gladly take care of your furry friend, especially on the weekends. We have a rescue mixed chocolate lab and corgi. They are small but have a lot of energy and enjoy playing with other friends. We also have a princess Guinea pig, Pebbles, who enjoys her personal space and daily fresh snacks. As a full-time special education teacher, routines are a big part of my life, and that structure naturally extends to how I care for pets. In the evenings and on weekends, when I'm not in the classroom, I'm spending time with my own fur babies—taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure each one gets the love and attention they need. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely love and look forward to. It helps me slow down after a busy day and brings me so much joy. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I stick to set routines and always make time to connect with each pet on a personal level. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or someone else’s, I treat them all like family. 🏠 I do offer house sitting services, however I have a family as well that also need my attention and care that I can only do 12 hour schedule (e.g. 7am -7pm). At this time, I will not be able to do overnight stays. I’ve been taking care of dogs for my family ever since I was in college, so looking after pets feels completely natural to me. I take a lot of pride in keeping a clean, safe, and cozy home for our animal babies, and I bring that same care into any client’s home too. I treat every pet like they’re my own — making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, keeping their space clean, or just giving them lots of attention and playtime, I’m all about making sure they’re happy and safe.

About: I am a reliable & experienced sitter that has had dogs and cats as pets all my life. I have over 30 years of pet sitting experience but I am new to Rover as a sitter. I used Rover for my dog that I had for almost 15 years. I have experienced with administering oral medication & taking care of elderly pets. I love them big & small, young & old, hyper or chill. I love to get outside for walks or runs. I am a homebody who works remotely & takes online courses as well so I’ll be around to give them all the attention. I know what it is like to have a pet with separation anxiety so no need to worry them or you while you are away :) I work part time so I have plenty of time to love on your pets. I like to give them as much attention as I can while you are gone I like to keep their routine consistent to make it easier on everyone. If you want them crated, brushed, walked & fed at certain times, or allowed on or not on furniture, I will be sure to do the same!

About: Hii! I’m Meagan I am 25 years old with lotssssss of experience with all sorts of pets of my own as well as foster pups & adoption groups. I have 2 little boys, two precious pits named Cove & Peter, as well as a kitty that I all call my babies, they are the light of my life. I have a sweet spot for all types of dogs big or small, I’m always able to negotiate prices!!! I hope to meet your baby soon!! ❤️ I’ve had my baby Cove since she was 4 weeks old, so I’m very much used to younger dogs, and my sweet boy Peter was a foster of mine that I couldn’t let go of, he is BLIND! So I’m very well rounded on my care for pets of all kinds! HOUSE SITTING/ DROPINS🏡🐶🐱 - walks every 4-8hrs , feeding, snuggles, play time, house is kept as left/tidied up if necessary *** IF NEEDING A HOUSE SITTER (going on vacation/ out of town?) , MY RATES ARE BASED OFF HOUSE SITTING RATES, NOT OVERNIGHT , I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN THEREFORE I CANT STAY OVERNIGHTS, but I can be there throughout the day! **** DOG WALKING 🦮🌳- Give them a well needed exercise for myself and your pup! Lots of love and if there’s toys around I’ll most likely try to play i have open availability! I do tend to see favoritism in walks around noon / lunch time so please be aware that I do have multiple clients ranging from 10-2 so if you are able to be flexible with that time range that would be much appreciated!! I will treat these babies like they were my own. They’re getting a full good walk and lots of love from me! There will always be good communication and pictures along my visits / stays. I like to keep things as I see it or clean up a little bit when necessary (toys everywhere ect)

Such a pleasant experience. Atticus gets such bad separation anxiety and she took him on walks and helped keep him happy. He didn’t turn his back to me and pout like he normally does after trips, lol. The house was in great condition after, as well.

About: What sets me apart is how I view animals. I don’t see them as “just pets,” but as individual beings with their own personalities, needs, and emotions. I believe animals deserve the same respect, patience, and compassion we offer to any member of the family. Because of that belief, I provide attentive, gentle care that prioritizes both physical well-being and emotional comfort I have a flexible and manageable schedule.That is perfect for our owners and there little friends needs i'm never too busy to help out our little fury friends I treat my animals with mutual respect. And I care for them, like my own As long as they live in my house they are family.And I take care of my family.

This was our first time in 11 years of having animals we ever left them alone for 5 days and had someone stay overnight at our home the whole time. She was very good with our 4 fur babies and was very personable with them and made them feel like her own. She was very quick with responding and she also kept our home tidy and clean and cleaned up after them! We will be using her again for our next trip!

Marissa did a fantastic job watching our 70 lb poodle mix, Dex, and our home. She's a great communicator as she provided regular updates with photos and video. She even got a new toy for Dex as a Christmas gift! He LOVES new toys. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog - we would definitely book with her again.
