Pet care experience

Animals are family too!

I love all animals! I’ve had pets my whole life. I started taking care of and training dogs when I was about eight years old. I love to work with all kinds of animals! My family and I have our own pets and they are Family members as well! I’ve worked on ranches since I was 11 years old. I’ve taken care of chickens, chicks, horses, dogs, cat, reptiles, goats. I could go on and on. I’ve had compassion for animals since I was a little girl and through the years I’ve watched not only my own animals, family members and friends animals as well and housesit for them. I also give my own fur babies their shots and medication. I’ve worked with, trained, and rescued all kinds of animals, even exotics and hybrid wolves.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I like to take care of the pets in their own home so that they are more comfortable and less chance of anxiety. I also like to make sure that they are comfortable with me as well as I with them.

Marissa did an amazing job! We adopted a puppy w/ severe trauma background who is afraid of everyone, who’d never been left alone w/ anyone before. He’s never let anyone near him before. Marisa’s patience and skill w dogs with a traumatic past enabled her to break through his fears and by the end of the day my sweet dog was cuddling with her! It was truly amazing. I highly recommend Marissa.

Marissa was great very patient and kind to my girl Jojo. Jojo has epilepsy and it took a lot for me to leave her with someone I didn’t know but Marissa kept me updated with photos and texts and when I lost my phone she reached out to my emergency contact for updates too. Really appreciate her.

Marissa was great! We had 2 meet and greets to ensure she was a good fit. She was very accommodating to our schedules and it gave us the confidence to leave our Great Pyrenees with someone who would give him good care. She updated us daily with texts and pictures. Took also him on several walks a day. We will definitely call on her again for our future vacations.

Marissa house sat and dogs sat for us for 3 nights. We really appreciated her ability to adapt. We have a GP who is a rescue. He has become a very sweet and loving dog with us, but we know he can be very territorial, protective and stubborn. He wasn’t easy for her to deal with, but she persevered. When we returned our house was in great shape and she took good care of our boy. We are so glad that we met Marissa. She is willing to come back and deal with our GP and we appreciate that. We will definitely be contacting her again.

Marissa was raised with dogs, cats, chickens, a bird, desert tortoises, she has worked with horses, trained a rat, and had a 4 ft iguana. She also worked with a baboon, and wolf. She watches our 2 Bernese mt dogs, plays with them, bathes and walks them, they love her. She is willing to come stay at our home for their comfort. She is able to give your pet shots and medicine if necessary. Marissa is my daughter, I’ve never seen an animal that she can’t train, and loves all of them. She has worked for some of our friends as well.
