Your Pet’s New Bestie!

Pet care experience

I have many years of pet care experience. From taking care of my pets over the years to volunteering at humane societies to fostering puppies and kittens to working at boarding facilities, I have all kinds of experience in pet care. I am comfortable with senior animals, puppies, kittens, administering medication, going on long walks, large dogs, and multiple animals. I’d love to assist you in anyway I can- I would love to be your pet’s source of comfort while their family is away!

Calissa has watched my dog and cats several times. I trust her completely. Every time we get home the water bowls are clean and filled and kitty litters are always scooped. She sends us photos and comments on how our babies are doing. She goes above and beyond expected every time. She made an additional trip to check on our dog when there was a storm as our dog doesn’t like thunder. She left the tv on for him to keep him calm. She also has a very special bond with our cats. One hides while we are gone but he always comes out when Calissa watches him. She might be a cat whisperer!

When I think of Calissa, I can’t help but think of her love for animals as well. Time and time again, she continues to show me her appriciation for animals. I can always count on her to watch my dog & cat while i’m out of town. She does her very best to make sure my animals are cared for 100% of the time. When I leave for vacation, I don’t have to worry at all to make sure Lucy (my dog) & Princess (my cat) are doing well. She keeps my animals & my house safe.

I have had the opportunity of working with Calissa in several areas regarding pets. I worked with her at Texas Humane Heroes as a volunteer and found her to be a responsible and caring animal person. She is reliable and shows up when she is supposed to and does not just want to play with the pets but is capable of feeding and cleaning up after them. She has helped me with my own pets and I feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. Calissa has grown up with pets and understands they are all different and need to be handled differently. I would highly recommend Calissa for this position.

Safety, trust & environment

I will listen closely to how the client talks about their routine with their pets. When pet’s families are away it can be very stressful. So not only living in the pet(s) but sticking to that routine can be a huge source of comfort to them- a sense of normalcy. I will also use principles I use in my own home- cleanliness, responsibility, safety, and thoughtfulness. I will treat your home with the utmost respect because that is the kind of person I am.

Information Calissa G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet’s temperament. I am open to all kinds of pets, I have experience with many kinds of behaviors and the best way to work with them is to know ahead of time what they are like. I’d also like to know what they like- their favorite toys, spots in the house, treats, and anything special about them!

A typical day

There is a dog park right by my house, we can go there and play fetch or anything else. I can go on run with dogs which can exercise them and release energy. I can also jut stay t home with them to be company. I can basically do anything required.
