Communication is important to me and I will keep you up to date and send pictures of your pet as often as you would like. When you book me for house sitting that nightly price is the price of me staying at your house with the pets for 75-100% of the day in addition to staying overnight.

Information Carissa A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any care preferences or special needs your pet has! I also can collect your mail and take out garbage/recycling if needed.

A typical day

I will make sure energetic pets get tired out by playing and walks and pets that just want some attention get all the affection they deserve!

Professional Biologist & Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I have loved and taken care of animals since I was little. Growing up my family had dogs, cats, a rabbit, fish, frogs, and chickens! During high school and undergraduate (Clemson) I pet sat for 15+ clients in my neighborhood which included not only dogs and cats but horses, rabbits, home aquariums, and hamsters. I also have experience in dog walking, bathing, and administering medication. I have been working as a professional biologist since 2018 and have experience with all types of wildlife such as birds, turtles, and venomous snakes

Carissa is excellent! She is communicative and punctual. My three animals adore her and her calm demeanor. Medications were all given correctly and we returned to a clean home! Thank you:).
