Sensitive, Caring Dog Lover
Pet care experience
I have been caring for small dogs since I was 6 years old. I love dogs immensely and believe that they are little angels on earth. I currently have a small rescue dog named Romeo who I absolutely adore. He came to me in a traumatized state, so I worked very hard to study the best techniques for working with small dogs. I learned the various ways they communicate through body language, how to best socialize them, the healthiest food and treats and how to connect with them and have them trust me. As a result, Romeo is now a boisterous, healthy and sweet dog who is extremely happy and loved. He's very social, loves to play and is very good with other small dogs. I have also facilitated in rescuing other dogs, helping them overcome trauma and find new, loving homes. I am extremely sensitive, responsible and attentive when it comes to dogs, their feelings and needs. For this reason, small dogs love my company and are extremely loved, safe and well taken care of under my care. I worked as a holistic counselor and reiki practitioner for 17 years, both in Australia (I am Australian) and Los Angeles (I've been living here since 2009). Now I am a musician and work from home so I will be home and connected to your dog when he or she is with me.
Reviews
Carisa is the best! One of our dogs usually take awhile to warm up to new people but immediately took to Carisa. Carisa has a wonderful, calm energy and treated our dogs like they were hers. She sent us wonderful updates and photos every day. We had peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. Thank you, Carisa!!!
Carisa was great! She took amazing care of our Boston terrier, Roxie. Loved the pictures and updates she sent daily! Would recommend :)
We would give a 10 if we could. Carisa loves dogs, is great with people, and is the most responsible walker. She walked our dog about 10 times when we were away for a week. Our dog is in love with her and so are we.
Carisa exhalts her little Romeo like the prince that he is and he doesn't know a life outside of royalty as he shouldn't! I lived with them. She's a very intuitive caring person and I would trust her with my pup no question!

A typical day
I work from home so I will be with your dog through the day. I live right next to a park so we'll be doing walks in a natural environment that is fun for dogs and away from the road and traffic. I have a very safe balcony area that is sealed off with a cane fence. My dog loves playing out there and watching the street. At home I have safety pens and separators so the dogs are in their own sections during meal times and when they are unsupervised. I play classical music (mostly Chopin's piano nocturnes) to keep them calm and happy. I also have a lavender oil lamp and a DAP (dog appeasing pheromones) dispenser that sets off an aroma that calms dogs and gives them a sense of security. I am very aware of dog's emotions and will be very attentive to make sure your dog feels happy and secure.
