I am experienced, caring, energetic

Pet care experience

Hi there, My name is Carissa and I have been caring for animals for 15 years now from dogs to harp seals. I am energetic and love hiking and walking, but I am also a good snuggle buddy if need be. I do not mind stopping in to administer medications or just for company and a pee break. We have a fenced yard and a dog friendly house. I love dogs of all sizes. I help run an animal shelter called Beagle Paws. I have two dogs of my own a 1 year old beagle and an 13 year old mixed breed. I love dogs of any breed or size, age or breed. Please contact me for a visit so we can meet and get to know each other. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends. Thanks Carissa.

Our puppy, Maud, loves coming to Carissa's! (We know this because of how hard her tail wags when we arrive each time!) She gets plenty of exercise and fun with Carissa's dog, Hershey, and we feel confident knowing Carissa will make sure she's safe, happy and having a well-balanced day :)

Our dog, Maud, had a great few days at Carissa's! Carissa made sure Maud was exercised, well fed and cared for. We appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day, and were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Maud was cared for. We will definitely board with Carissa again!

Will definitely be booking Carissa again. The updates with pics allowed us to enjoy our event knowing our pup was in good hands and having fun playing with Carissa’s pups. Our Walter came home happy and tired out from having fun!

Sammy had a fun day at Carissa’s with her 2 doggies. She has a nice big fenced back yard with plenty of room to run and play. It felt great to leave him for the day and not worry about him, and he came home and was tired.

Information Carissa W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I look forward to accommodating them. I have dealt with timid and highly sensitive dogs as well as leash aggression.

A typical day

I love to stimulate energetic dogs with play time, time in the yard and daily walks. If you dog prefers a more laid back day that is okay too small walks around the yard or neighborhood can be adjusted.
