Pet care experience

Caffeine Lover/Cuddles=Essential

I've lived with cats and dogs my entire life. Taking care of my own and my friends animals have helped me care for dogs or cats with different energies. I've had to train a few puppies to be potty trained and a few tricks while at it. Pup cups, are important, in my opinion because everyone deserves a treat when going out.

Clipper had a wonderful stay with Carissa! She was efficient to communicate with, quick to respond to my messages, and kept Clipper engaged with fun enrichment activities while we were away. I especially appreciated that she let us know when he ate a little less than his usual amount, which showed she was paying close attention to his well-being. Carissa also shared plenty of photos, giving us peace of mind and letting us see our curious little guy throughout our trip. Thank you, Carissa, for being such a caring companion to Clipper and keeping him happy while we were away. We truly appreciate you!

Carissa did a great job with Tater. I had Carissa watch Tater while i was out of town for several days / night and she did a great job caring for him and giving him the attention and getting him the exercise he needed as a one year old Cavapoo. Would definitely use Carissa in the future.

Schedule

I currently work full-time, usually in the mornings but I drive to work so I can be more malleable when taking them out. I don't usually leave my house longer than 6 hours at a time. Besides taking them to the off leash dog parks near my apartment, I do like to hike trails on my days off.

Safety, trust & environment

I have two off leash dog parks and another park that are near my apartment within walking distance. There is plenty of sun, for sunbathing, and space in the apartment if there needs to be a crate. There is a friendly dog that with me, she loves sleep and has the occasional hello to other furry friends.
