Pet care experience
Hello! I offer pet care services for dogs and cats. I have lots of experience caring for senior cats (including monitoring their diet, monitoring their diet, giving them all the snuggles their senior selves deserve, etc), but I love cats of all ages. I currently have two kittens of my own so I am very used to the young kitty craziness as well. I’m a soft speaker and slow mover, which the shyer cats seem to appreciate. Happy to play with them, let them nap in my lap, or simply give them their space while they warm up to me :) I’m very comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes, and I’m happy to tailor their walk/drop in to their preferences! I have lots of experience with dogs that are a little more anxious or shy and would prefer to avoid strangers on the sidewalk, but I’m happy to let your pup greet everyone we encounter if they’re more social! I’m happy to do random drop in visits, or a more long term arrangement. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions and I hope to hear from you soon! :)
Reviews
Second time booking Carissa! She’s the best!
Carissa is the best! She checked in on our 2 cats for a week over the holidays and left detailed notes and sent pictures daily. She is responsive, kind, and attentive. I’d definitely recommend her and book her again!
Carissa did an amazing job with our kitties! We have a senior cat who needs specific instructions with his medications and Carissa everything perfectly. She was super communicative and sent us updates and photos after each visit. I will definitely be re-booking with Carissa next time!
Carissa was amazing! This was our first time using Rover so I was a little hesitant but she went above and beyond. She really bonded with my cats, gave them the attention they needed (they’re needy), and even cleaned their litter boxes! I will for sure be using her again
