Marisa has been working with animals for over 20 years. She began her career as a veterinary receptionist and later became a veterinary technician, while also volunteering at shelters and fostering pets in her home.

​

Driven by her passion for animal health and building meaningful relationships with pet parents, Marisa founded BarksNPurrs in 2011 with just a handful of clients. What started as a small, hands-on operation quickly grew into a trusted pet care team.

​

Today, BarksNPurrs continues to grow while maintaining a close-knit, experienced, and detail-oriented team — with the majority of our staff having been with us for over three years — all dedicated to keeping pets happy, healthy, and loved.
