Marissa was fantastic! She is personable and reliable and was able to administer my cat's medication without a problem. I highly recommend her for your pets' needs.

I highly recommend Marissa! She was so sweet and accommodating, and took excellent care of my senior kitty, Jonathan, who requires topical and injectable medications. It gave me peace of mind, leaving him in the capable hands of a LVT! I would definitely use Marissa again, and will recommend her to all family/friends who require pet care, especially for senior animals that require medications and extra TLC!
