EXPERIENCED, LOVING, PLAYFUL SITTER

Pet care experience

I've been caring for animals, children and homes since I was a 16 and it's my passion. I spent the last couple of years managing and caring for various animals on a live- in rescue kennel (caring for 31 dogs, 5 cats, two goats, 5 ducks, 1 chicken, 2 pigs and a rat), followed by a home/dog boarding/day care wherein I cared for dogs, chicken, duck and horses. I just finished a winter as an animal handler/exerciser for a musher in Fairbanks and now am ready to meet some new pups down here. I'm very active and playful and have a natural way about me with all living things. I love to run around and play, as well as share my energy, however sometimes it's great to just relax with some animals and do quiet time. I have experience in "animal bonding" training, some simple grooming techniques and subcutaneous injections for animal medications. I take very seriously caring for animals, yet do so very playfully. I also am an avid walker and joker and love taking doggies along.

Since Carissa was very young she had a natural love and connection with animals. Animals sense the goodness in someone and they likewise are attracted to her. She gives selflessly to their care and loves them with all her heart and soul. She has had many years of experience taking care of dogs. She takes the responsibility seriously and is an excellent caregiver.
