Pet care experience

Reliable & Energetic Pet Lover

I have lived with and been around dogs my whole life. I have experience in dog sitting and dog walking, and I am always up for helping people and especially their furry friends! I also have had four cats who were very opposite from being cuddly to being a bit aggressive. However I still love those fuzzballs deeply. Finally I had three parakeets who were very loud but so fun to have around.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I like make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I follow all routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I also give pets lots of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel relaxed and happy. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and always keep things clean and organized. Lastly, of course have fun with the pet and give them lots of love.

House Sitting • mai 18, 2026

Carissa did a great job house and pet sitting. My dog and cat are very well behaved but also very attached to me and can struggle with anxiety when I’m away. Carissa obviously took great care of them, evidenced with a daily photo/video update while I was away, and they were calm and happy when I arrived home. Would definitely book with Carissa again!

I like to know their feeding schedule, bathroom routine, energy level, and any special needs or medical concerns. It’s also helpful to know their personality, favorite activities, triggers, and how they interact with other people or animals. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable!
