Hi dog lovers! I'm Marissa, a dolphin trainer with extensive experience taking care of a wide range of species, including man's best friend. Through volunteering, internships, and full time positions, I have worked with everything from shelter animals to seals to polar bears to dolphins. In addition, I have also worked in a vet clinic, assisting technicians wherever needed with domestic dogs and cats. I grew up with my wonderful family dog, a small Maltese named Coconut, who is now 13 years old! I also have a pup of my own, a rambunctious 50 lb mix named Zesper who I love dearly. I understand the importance and stress of making sure your furry family member is in the right hands, and I will strive to be exactly what you need while you are away. Because my life is centered around animals, I also understand the importance of routine, precise diet requirements, and the need for fun and variety! Feel free to contact anytime!
