Carissa was fantastic. I know our dogs enjoyed their stay with her. Thank you for all of the status updates and photos of our dogs enjoying their time with you.

Thank you for the special care you provided Sonny when I wasn't able to find another sitter. You saved the day! Sonny won't stop smiling! Thanks, again!

Carissa took such great care of my Sonny boy when I had to take an unexpected, last-minute work trip out of town. She was the first one I called and I’m so grateful that I did. Her quick responses, caring nature and willingness to go the extra mile for me when I needed her the most are just a few of many reasons why I’ll always think of her first when it comes to taking care of my dog when I can’t. Thanks, again, Carissa! Sonny is looking forward to playing with you and Kona again very soon!

Carissa did an amazing job with Zeus. He had to take some medicine while she was there and I wasn’t worried about him getting the care he needs. She has a little kiddie pool for him to play in and sent me pictures of him having a blast. I will definitely be using her in the future ?

Safety, trust & environment

I would care for your dog just as i would my own dog. I wouldn’t want to worry about my baby not being in good hands so I’m not gonna let anyone else worry! Recently got my own apartment, there is outdoor space for play but also my family lives very close & has a giant back yard we can go to anytime! i’ll take care of your dog like they are one of mine! I know it can be scary leaving your doggos in the hands of someone else, I’d be nervous too! that’s why i’ll provide the best care I can when watching for you dog.
