About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all shapes and sizes. Up to 5 animals at one time in the past. I lost my last pet and want to help others while I grieve. I recently returned to Northern Michigan after the passing of my father to help my mother. Had to leave corporate job and looking for a happier pace of life and to give back to animals, who saved my life during a difficult time. I love walks and live right by the bike trails and near several parks. I also love cuddling on the couch and allow animals on the furniture if they're allowed to in their home.

“We highly recommend Marissa even though we haven’t met. She was very communicative and sent photos. Thanks so much for the care of our fur babies!”
Stephanie & Scott L.
“Stephanie took care of two cats for over a week while I was out of town. One of them is a senior cat with a few health conditions. She administered daily injections, heart medicine and various supplements throughout the day. She kept me informed at all times. She is very caring and compassionate towards the animals. The way she handled my cat and how comfortable she felt administering the injections shows her prior experience working with veterinary care. I 100% recommend her.”
