About Carissa B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced in yard with a large doggie door so there is access to go to the bathroom the whole time your dog(s) are at my house. Pets are allowed on our furniture and we have doggie beds in every room. When I leave, I put doggie music on (yes there are relaxing doggie stations that play for hours.) : )
Home
Information Carissa B. would like to know about your pet
Basic behaviors. Any special behavioral notes (food aggression, toy aggression, will chew shoes if left out/eat socks - all acceptable just need to know the quirks) : ) How much food they eat and when. Any medications. Their vet info. Are they good on a leash. Those types of things. **All dogs that stay in my home MUST be dog friendly and be up to date on vaccinations**
A typical day
Activities all come down to what makes your dog(s) thrive! Walks, dog parks, fetch, tug of war, working to get peanut butter out of a kong, i have a doggy door and one of my dogs loves to take himself out for sun naps whenever he can. ! : )

Pet care experience
Hi all! I am an active person with a grand love for animals. I have 15 years experience caring for dogs - not full time / I do it because it’s important - your dogs are my dogs while they’re with me. 💛💫 I have 3 dogs. 2 middle aged dogs add 1 sweet young buddy who loves to play, but is mindful with dogs that aren’t on the same level of play. I’ve had 29 dogs in my lifetime. I know the inner workings of dogs. And cherish all of puppy brains to older aged doggies. I fully understand the need to let your 4-legged (sometimes 3!) friend (s) out to get some air but not always being able to with busy schedules. My home is fully fenced and has a large doggy door with a nice size yard with dog friendly astro turf. All my love - always 🩷
Reviews
Carissa did a great job with my dog Max and treated him like one of her own. Great communication, too
Ollie was in the best hands!! We’re so grateful for Carissa! Xoxo
Carissa B. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Carissa was great! She took excellent care of my dog and sent photos and updates regularly. I will definitely use Carissa again next time I need a dog sitter!
