GROWING UP I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A VET AND SAVE LIVES. WELL, I TOOK THE MORE FINANCIALLY STABLE OPTION AND BECAME A VET TECHNICIAN AND WAS STILL ABLE TO ASSIST IN SAVING LIVES AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'M WELL VERSED IN VET-MED AND KNOW WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. IF I FEEL LIKE THE ENVIRONMENT IS EVER OVERWHLEMING FOR AN INDIVIDUAL I REMOVE THEM FROM THE ENVIRONMENT AND HAVE A 1-ON-1 AFFECTION SESSION WITH THEM, ENSURING THEY FEEL SAFE. PAWSITIVE IMPACT PET SERVICES HAS CRATES OF ALL SIZES AND SUITES AVAILABLE FOR QUITE TIME OR IF PUPS NEED TO TAKE A NAP OR SIMPLE JUST SOME ALONE TIME.

My dog was well taken care of and had a blast with Marisa! Marisa is communicative and provided great updates of my dog. I was not worried about my dog at all while she was with her. I highly recommend booking with Marissa and I would book again!!

Marisa was absolutely wonderful. She accepted a last minute booking and we are so grateful for her watching our 6-month old puppy. Our dog was in good hands and had a great time!
