Knowledgeable Pet Care

Carissa did a great job with my kitty! She communicated well, sent pictures and made the effort to connect with Googly too.

Carissa is wonderful! She has watched my dog for me several times and he loves spending time with her and her dogs. She is attentive, loving, and good with training! Her dogs are very well behaved. When I got my pup she was able to give me some great pointers, old collars, and direct me to some very helpful training videos!!

Safety, trust & environment

I will come to your home to drop in for whatever your pet needs. I am happy to do walking, snuggling, administering medications, grooming, or structured training exercises while you away! I can also bring my dog-friendly pooch with if you want some dog socialization and play time. Experienced and comfortable with pocket pets, birds, reptiles and exotics too!

Information Carissa A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or consideration. I will only walk dogs that are leash trained or if you are willing to work on proper leash training, in which I will help add more opportunities for training practice during my time. I will only drop in on dogs who are friendly and do not have human aggressive tendancies. I do require confirmation of rabies vaccination ahead of time.

A typical day

Depending on your pets' needs, I will hang out, play in the yard, provide structured games and/or training time, take walks nearby. I'm happy to do minor grooming such as brushing, but willing to do bathing if time allows for an extra charge.

I work from home most days so my schedule is generally flexible so I can accomodate many timeframes and take on more last minute needs. I currently am renting a home so I am not able to offer in home services at this time.
