Foster Approved Sweet Pet Lady

Pet care experience

I am a conscientious, non smoking, fun loving, cuddle seeking, trustworthy professional. I do have a job completely unrelated to animals during the day but I understand the need to wear out pups and give all the love to our fur babies. I have semi flexible hours with notice so my doodle and other visitors would not be alone all day. I do have a kennel and separate rooms if needed. During house sits, I take great pride in adequate feeding, walking, playing and full on attention giving. Each dog has a unique personality and will give space when space is needed or love when they cannot be loved enough. I can also collect mail, and keep the house in good shape. A vet is on speed dial should anything arise.

Our 10 month old Australian shepherd had a great weekend at Carissa’s! The fenced in yard was perfect for playing and our dog got along great with her dogs. She was very kind and caring for our dog. Would recommend!

We are so thankful we found Carissa! She was a great fit to care for our Max! Her dog was a great playmate for our pup too. She worked great with our schedule, has a great fenced yard, and was great at sending pictures/videos with updates. I would strongly recommend Carissa!

Carissa did a tremendous job of taking care of our fur ball when we went out of town for a weekend. She was attentive and made sure Toby received plenty of love and exercise. She even brought along her sweet doggie Polly to play with Toby. We will definitely book Carissa again without hesitation

Carissa did a great job with Fitz. She communicated well and it was so nice to see pictures of my dog while out of town. I would book her again for Fitz and would recommend her to others! It was my first time using Rover and Carissa exceeded my expectations.

Information Carissa D. would like to know about your pet

I do not have breed preferences, but does your pup love to play with other dogs? Polly and Cello, my doodles, are very friendly and active and will play with all shapes, sizes, and ages.

A typical day

We have a lovely neighborhood for walks, plus we are close to a dog park and have a wonderful fenced in backyard space for fetch, running, etc.
