Pet care experience

Dog Sitter 🐾💛🐾

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 🩷

Carissa did a great job with my dog Max and treated him like one of her own. Great communication, too

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!

Carissa is great and my dog loves staying with her. I highly recommend her. She communicates well and sends pictures. I'm very grateful that my dog has a good home to stay at when we're out of town.

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.) : )
