Pet care experience

Hello!I would love to meet ur baby!

My name is Carissa and I love animals. I used to watch dogs and cats for 3 years for some income and it’s something I enjoy. I have some training in keeping animals calm and happy. My grandpa is also a vet so I know a bunch of medical stuff in case of emergency. I have open availability always. I have two big dogs myself so I’m good with all sizes of dogs! I’m very good with other animals including cats.. i enjoy what I do. I like long walks with the dogs and just to spend time with them so when their parents leave they aren’t lonely and depressed. I’m very good with instructions and last minute changes. Very good with time changes and needing to be there earlier than usual. I also have worked at a pet store for 4 years and have learned a lot about animal care!

Boarding • Aug 02, 2026

Carissa was available last minute to care for my 2 big dogs for a couple of days while we took a road trip. She was great with them and kept me posted with pictures and messages a few times while we were away which made me feel comfortable knowing they were were safe. They were walked and slept on her couch. She was kind, sweet and my dogs loved her. They came home pretty tired and zoned out for the night! Would definitely board with Carissa again!!!
