Hello! My name is Marissa and I'm from Illinois with 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I just moved to Washington for military - my husband is a Chief Petty Officer and has been in the Navy for 12 years. I am a licensed veterinary nurse in Washington, and I have 2 years of vet tech schooling and 7 years of quality animal experience ranging from high capacity boarding and doggy daycamp, to being a vet tech for routine visits as well as a surgical nurse. In the past, I've fostered dogs which was a great experience to interact with animals from all walks if life, and I believe it has helped me understand them better. I have been trained in CPR and first aid as well. I'm very excited to pamper your pup, and I can't wait to give them love while you are away!
