Pet care experience
I have owned my own dogs for 22 years. I have been dog-sitting for 8 years, some of which included senior animals with a few medications and some included cats. I worked at PetsMart PetsHotel taking care of dogs while owners are away. Part of that job included exercise and playtime, as well as giving love and watching out for signs of anxiety or sickness. I am a first year veterinary student so I can give medications if needed. I am available anytime throughout today, as it is summer break. My hobbies include yoga, crafting, ranching, and biking. I love dogs (mine sleeps on my bed) and would make sure you feel comfortable with me taking care of your pet, I understand they are part of the family!
Reviews
Carissa is Awesome!!
I came home to find both dogs happy and in great moods which is all I ever want! Carissa communicated extremely well all weekend (with pictures) which is important for me as I have an older dog that has medical issues. She had to deal with medications and a knee brace for my older boy and another dog that is extremely scared of thunder. I think my one dog that walks is now spoiled as she got multiple walks per day. I met Carissa and I knew immediately that she would be perfect for the dogs. And she left my house is wonderful shape and clean when I got home which was great. I would rebook Carissa in a second and I think both dogs agree :)
Carissa was amazing!!!! She was very thorough when coming over to review everything about Gracie and how to care for her in my home. At the last minute, she had to give Gracie some medication and was very willing to do that. While I was away, she was very consistent about providing me updates and photos of Gracie. Carissa brought her little dog with her and that worked out well. She even left me a note about her stay for me to see when I arrived home. I highly recommend Carissa to care for your pet! Thank you so much for everything, Carissa!
Carissa is AWESOME! She is super friendly and my fur babies loved spending time with her and her little fur baby. She took amazing care of them and they were sad when she went home :) We look forward to having Carissa back soon!!

Skills
Information Carissa B. would like to know about your pet
I like to know the dogs' usual schedule, how much they normally eat and exercise, and their favorite activities or toys. I would also like to know what they are uncomfortable with or if they aren't friendly with people or other dogs.
A typical day
I usually take my dog on Spring Creek Trail and to a baseball field near my house to play fetch. I like to go on walks on campus, on trails, go hiking to the A or Horsetooth, relax outside.
