Animals are family too!

Pet care experience

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.

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.
