Hello, I’m Marissa, and currently a student at the University of North Florida. I’m so excited to join the 9 to 5 Pets Team!  

Growing up in a loving family of four, I’ve always been surrounded by support. After moving to St. Augustine from Jacksonville, I’m enjoying the history and charm of my new hometown. In my free time, I love going to the gym, exploring downtown St. Augustine, and nature walks with friends. As a dog mom to two furry friends, I adore taking them to PetSmart for new toys.

With a passion for animals, I’ve gained valuable experience through my animal science class at Frank H. Peterson Academy and a 250-hour internship at an animal hospital. I worked as a certified vet assistant at San Marco Animal Hospital, sharpening my skills in animal care.

 

I’m committed to providing top-notch care and attention to every pet, building long-term relationships with clients, and communicating effectively to ensure the best possible care. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!
