Marissa’s gentle approach and genuine affection for animals are evident in her work. She finds immense satisfaction in seeing the happy tail wags of the pets she helps. Marissa wants pet parents to know that their animals are in compassionate and capable hands, cared for by someone who is as passionate about their well-being as they are.
A proud mother, Marissa cherishes the accomplishment of raising her daughter. Her kind and caring nature defines her both personally and professionally. Outside of work, Marissa enjoys spending quality time with her family, delving into books, and exploring the great outdoors through hiking. She shares her home with two beloved dogs, Ripley, a Staffordshire Terrier, and Winston, a Lab mix, as well as two domestic shorthair cats, Lucy and Neville—all of whom were adopted from shelters.
