Reviews
Carissa dropped-in on my cats twice each day while I was out of town for a week. She is flexible to changes in routine (my cats are slowly learning to coexist) and communicates their daily activities well through written descriptions and images. She is well attuned to each cats likes and needs. She remembers their favorite games between visits and can even tell when Violet needs a break from Saber. I appreciate knowing my cats are well cared for when I am away. Another very positive experience with Carissa!
I’m glad we booked Carissa! She was patient and kind with my pup. She was reliable and left notes for me. Thanks!
Just amazing!!
My dobe is always excited when she arrives. Carissa is amazing with my dobe.
