Excited to meet 4-legged friends!

Pet care experience

I am so excited to walk dogs & get to play with them while their owners can’t. I have a Golden Doodle myself & I believe that dogs deserve all of the attention that they can get. My dog is a male, his name is Maui & he is very well behaved and gets along with other dogs, so that is not something to worry about. I am a teacher in Polk County & I love to watch dogs as it is a huge stress reliever from work! I find it to be so much fun & very rewarding. They will get the best care, the most attention, & they will feel very at home. I can’t wait to meet some new furry friends!

Karissa was very professional, caring and loving sitter. She responds to messages in a timely manner. Bella enjoyed to stay with her for 1 night and Im I will be booking her more often.

Karissa is an absolute dog lover, she treated my dog like her own and made him feel so comfortable and happy, nothing was an issue. I’m truly grateful for her existence. I will definitely use her dog boarding service again!!

Karissa is a hard working and trustworthy caretaker for any animal. I have trusted her on multiple occasions with not only my dog, Roofus, but with my cat and exotic animals as well. She has excellent communication skills; as she always sends me several photos and videos of my babies when they are in her care and is always available to text or call. It is extremely important to find a caregiver that both you and your fur baby have a connection with, and my fur babies and I are SO grateful to have Karissa!

Karissa has watched my dogs for a few years now. She is great with animals, especially dogs since she has her own at home. She took great care of my two dogs and they absolutely loved her! She would be a great fit for anyone who needs their dogs watched/walked!
