Experienced, excited and passionate

Pet care experience

Hey there! The first thing you should know about me is that I have been around animals my entire life! Growing up, we rescued dogs and other animals that needed loving homes. Since then, I have worked in a grooming salon for two years, learning many skills in handling and hygiene. I've worked at a daycare that offered dog walking, grooming, boarding, and daytime services. We would give the dogs enrichments each day to activate their minds, take them for walks, feed them according to dietary instructions, administer medication as needed, and making sure they get love too! I also did a brief internship dog training. Training taught me a lot about different types of dog behavior and why they act in certain ways, especially those with behavioral issues. Overall, I love dogs and animals in general. Working with them is a passion and brings a great deal of joy to my day!

Marisa was great! This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone other than someone he knew. She met him before I left and kept me updated every day with pictures and videos. Definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!

Marissa is a god send to our household. She has watched our chihuaha/greyhound mix and our yorkie/bischon mix. I have seen her work with pitbulls, newfies, great danes, and other larger breeds also. She is patient, kind, and truly loves every animal with her whole heart. She is punctual, professional, and productive. I continue to recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Marissa's caring nature is what stands out the most. She grew up around all types of animals from cows, sheep, and even llamas. It's extremely rare to find someone with such passion when taking care of animals. Marissa has been training and taking care of dogs from the time she could walk. Marissa also has three years of professional experience. Every dog that I've seen Marissa meet, even if it's their first encounter, it's an immediate bond. Her commitment to excellence reflects in her work ethic. She not only will make sure every aspect of a job is completed but done thoroughly. If you want your dog to be in great, caring hands, whether a couple of hours or even a week, Marissa is a great fit every time.
