Safety, trust & environment

I believe the safest, most comfortable place for your pet is right at home. That’s why I offer in-home care—so your pet can stay in their familiar environment, surrounded by their routines, smells, and favorite spots. I treat your home with respect and your pet with the same love and attention I’d give my own.

Information Carissa A. would like to know about your pet

I want to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for just like you would. Feel free to share anything that helps me get to know them better—daily routines, quirks, favorite toys, any medications, or things that make them anxious. The more I know, the better I can care for them!

A typical day

Every pet has their own rhythm, and I’m here to keep that going! Whether your dog loves walks and playtime or your cat prefers quiet naps and window watching, I’ll follow your routine so their day feels just like home. I focus on comfort, consistency, and lots of love—whatever your pet is used to, that’s exactly what we’ll do.

Trusted In-Home Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have 5 years of professional pet care experience, but my love for animals started long before that—growing up in the Midwest, I was surrounded by pets from the time I was 8. From dogs and cats to small animals, I’ve spent years learning how to care for them with patience, attention, and compassion. Whether it’s daily routines, special needs, or just being a steady, calming presence, I bring both experience and heart to every home I enter.

Carissa is amazing and super sweet! She took such good care of my dog Bodhi while we were away. They went on so many walks and she left our house so clean! She's great with communication and sends the cutest pictures. I will definitely be booking with her again

Carissa was good with our two dogs while we were away on a short trip.

Carissa is the best! She has cared for our dogs and our home as her own each time she has dog sat for us. Would highly recommend her!

This is the second time we have had Carissa care for our dogs. We, once again, came home to happy dogs and a clean house. So happy we found Carissa!
