Marissa is incredible! I first met her 3 years ago, when she photographed my dog Mischa for her 10th birthday. She really captures your dog's emotion and personality in her portraits! I have a 4 foot one hanging in my office and people always compliment this beautiful photo. More recently, Marissa has done both lifestyle and product photography for my small business. She is the most patient, professional photographer I have ever worked with. Marissa does detailed editing and has an eye for the story I want to tell. I loved working with Marissa and will definitely hire her again in the future for my photographer needs. You can see her work for yourself! read more

Marissa has an amazing eye and a brilliant personality. She turns a photo session, something I have always found stressful, and turns it into a fun, creative and fulfilling experience. The headshots she did for me have gotten me tons of compliments and, I'm sure, more than a few auditions. Book a session with Marissa today! You will be glad you did. read more

I recently hired Marissa after seeing her work online. I wanted professional headshots for my corporate photo, Marissa came to me and we took beautiful pictures in various outfits. My pictures came out amazing! If you need professional photos, for work, events or fun...Marissa is the utmost professional. read more

I've been lucky enough to know Marissa through the animal rescue community for years and have utilized her amazing services for my interior design business, as well as my high-design pet bed business. Not only is she a magnificent, patient, kind, and incredibly talented photographer, but she immediately puts you at ease, which, for me, is integral, as having my proper portrait taken (sans my terriers) made me wildly nervous and uncomfortable. The results were fantastic and totally *real* and captured me in a way I feel most other photographers have not. You will NEVER regret hiring Marissa as your gifted shutterbug - she is an excellent human and an excellent photographer! read more

I've trusted Marissa with my small Shih tzu mix, Webster, for several years. She's watched him countless times while I've been at work, and there are few people I'd trust more. It's clear dogs are her sincere passion. She is patient and loving with all dog personalities, and she's pretty fun around humans as well. Webster is very much a mama's boy. But even knowing that seeing Marissa often meant I was leaving him, he never hesitated to show his excitement. While he cares when I leave him with most other people, he hardly seemed to know I was gone with Marissa. In addition to her pet-watching services, Marissa is a brilliant dog photographer. She has a great eye for the perfect shot, but more importantly, she knows how to get the dog's personality to shine for the camera. Having amazing photos of Webster means so much to me. I've followed Marissa's photography over the years, and I never cease to be impressed by what I've seen. The angles, the settings, the expressions on the dogs' faces -- all of it is impeccable and taken with lots of love. I highly recommend Marissa's dog-sitting and photography services to anyone looking for a talented, knowledgeable dog lover. read more

I've always wanted to have family photos taken with all of my kids (2 of the fur kind and 2 human). But I haven't done it because it seemed impossible to manage the dogs. Marissa pulled it off! She has a unique talent for photographing animals, and her creative ideas for the kids really had them engaged and enjoying the shoot. We'll cherish our photos for a long time. I look forward to looking back at all of them as time goes on. read more

Marissa is thoughtful and easy to work with. She has a way of capturing the emotion of the moment in her photos.

Marissa is the best. She handles our 12lb poodle and our 80lb Lab with the utmost care and attention. We trust her 150% with a key to our apartment and of course our doggies! Not to mention she has an amazing eye for capturing photos. She took some amazing photos of our dogs and truly loves what she does. Highly recommended! read more

We are so lucky we have Marissa to walk our best girl! Marissa is responsive, sweet, very flexible, positive and understands dogs. I have so much peace of mind when I know she will be walking my 70 lb Swiss Shepherd. She was even willing to walk her when our dog was still a puppy and not the best behaved on the leash. I often have to call on Marissa for last minute reasons and it's never a problem! read more

Marissa loves dogs more than most people love their own children! She has a special connection with all dogs and I trust her with my doggy any day. Wimpy loves Marissa and especially LOVES the pawtraits she did of her. Marissa has an eye for photography and art and this really comes through with her pictures of the pups. Wimpy and I are so lucky to have Marissa in lives! De La Doggies all the way! read more

Marissa is awesome! She is friendly, kind and compassionate. Everything you want in a dog walker. She loves all dogs, and spends her free time volunteering at animal shelters. More importantly, MY DOG LOVES HER. Anytime I'm walking my dog on the street and we run into Marissa, my dog goes crazy and is thrilled to see her. She also does a great job boarding dogs! 100% trustworthy, has the key to my apartment and has been known to spend extra time playing with my dog post-walks. read more

We absolutely love Marissa and don't know what we would do without her!! She's been walking our German Shepherd puppy, Zoe, for a few months now, and she's even watched her overnight for us on occasion. Zoe loves her midday walks with Marissa. And we love it since she's a much better dog after a little exercise in the afternoon. =) It's difficult to find someone you trust to watch your pet, but Marissa is that person! She's flexible, responsive, dependable, and cares so much for her clients (pups and humans)! Marissa is also an amazing photographer! She snaps pics of Zoe on their walks and sends them to us. I really look forward to getting those and it makes me feel good to see Zoe having so much fun! We're also planning on having holiday photos done with Marissa - can't wait to see how they turn out! I highly recommend Marissa and De La Doggies for your dog walking/sitting needs!! read more

Marissa was an absolute dream to have during the short time that I had my wonderful little girl, Ruby. I can't even begin to describe the joy that her afternoon picture-texts of Ruby playing or posing brought me during the course of a long work-day. Marissa is as reliable and helpful as the day is long - last minute walks, special requests, over-nights - this girl just does it all. Marissa loves her work and, if you are smart enough to hire her, each and every canine companion that she helps out/walks/babysits. Sadly, Ruby passed about four weeks ago. Marissa was there for Ruby while she was sick and I'll never be able to thank her enough for the comfort she was able to give Ruby and I during that time. She was there for me as a friend during that tough time, too. She's Simply amazing and I can't wait to have her care for my next little girl!!! Thank you Marissa...so very much. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Marissa and De La Doggies. My pup, Woody, can't seem to sit still for a single second, but somehow Marissa manages to always get amazing photos of him. She's got a tremendous eye, loads of patience, and such a sweet personality! Marissa has been photographing Woody since he was a puppy, and she has always been able to capture some really special moments. Marissa was born to do this, and her passion for all animals is truly unique. Thank you for being Woody's favorite photographer, and for all your dedication to helping homeless pets find homes with your amazing photography. read more

Marissa is a GODDESS when it comes to dogs and doggie care. She's reliable, trustworthy, experienced, passionate, loving and so many other things that make her my go-to person for all my dog sitting and dog photography needs. One of the best qualities she has that goes a long way for her service is the respect and adoration she has for dogs, which cannot even be expressed in words. As far as dog sitting, she's the only person outside of my immediate family I fully trust. Her photography is also pretty amazing, she just has this special talent for commanding a dog's attention and capturing moments in a quirky and unique way. I used to think that I was pretty good at getting shots myself but when I saw Marissa's work I realized she is worth every penny. See for yourself at deladoggies.com. read more

When we went out of town, I was having a tough time with the idea of leaving my dog Macy with just anyone, because she's obviously a special snowflake with her own quirks and habits that only I know of. She also does NOT like being boarded. After finding Marissa and seeing that she is maybe even more of a "crazy dog lady" than I am, I knew I could feel comfortable leaving my love with her for a few days. She kept us updated with pictures of what they were up to, and was really flexible in terms of dropping her off and picking her up. Most importantly, Macy liked her. If you are in the market for a petsitter or walker, I can't recommend enough! read more

Marissa is a god send! She has been taking care of our Chola and other pups and boy oh boy, her and her team are amazing!!! XO

I absolutley love Marissa and so do my doggies :) Sugar and Zeus are always excitied to see her and spend time with her. She has walked them, kept them for periods of time while I was traveling and even cared for them while they were sick. She's their auntie!!!!She keeps me fully updated on their day and sends me the cutest pictures of them. I work very long hours and I always know my dogs are in good hands with Marissa. She is kind, gentle and extremely trust worthy. I feel grateful to have her around for my babies! Me and my two pups have also been photographed by her. I have the pics hanging in my house and they're adorable!!! If you need someone to care for your dogs the way you would, than Marissa is the person for the job! Thanks Marissa!!!! Zeus and Sugar are home waiting for you now :))))) read more

To say that Marissa cares about dogs would be an understatement. Chester (my dare-I-say senior Poodle-mix roommate) is the most important thing in my life, and Marissa has cared for him on several occasions when I was out of town. I'd leave him with Marissa again without worry. Her passion for other mammals clearly extends into her care for pooches. I'd recommend her services to anyone! read more

Marissa has a great sense for what dogs are like and what they need, she is super generous and they can tell she cares about them.
