Pet care experience

Animals are my EVERYTHING!

I've owned dogs ever since I can remember. They are my life and I want nothing more than to have each and every one of them have a great life! I'm willing to do whatever that takes to do so. Animals don't have a voice. So I am their voice. I am actually interested in going to schooling for animal care so I know what to do in case of emergencies. I'm not quite experienced when it comes to health care but I can administer meds when needed and give them the exercise they want and need. I cannot offer for pets to come to my house due to having a house full of dogs. I wouldn't know whether they would get along or not. Other than that, dogs & I get along wonderfully!!! At this time I'm limited on transportation so until that's resolved I can only do In House sitting. But I'll be sure to update my profile once that changes!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm with the dog at all times basically. If the owners have a fenced in yard I will let their dog go out & play there but if there is not a fenced in area, then I take them for walks. I'm constantly showing love & affection so the dog knows they are safe with me. I make sure to learn from the owners what IS allowed & what ISN'T allowed in their homes. As far as whether their dogs can be on the furniture or cannot be on the furniture. I make sure to find out if the dog needs any type of medications due to be taken at a certain time & what the owners want me to feed their fur baby. The well being of the dog is MOST important to me!! Always.

Carissa was incredible! She sent me updates everyday for Beau and even went as far as staying an extra morning for me knowing Beau would be alone until I got home. I’d highly recommend her to anyone in the TC area. She has nothing but passion and love for animals and I will be using Carissa any time my dog needs watched. Thanks again! I’d give you 10 stars if I could!

Carissa was a blessing. We were able to leave Louie, our dog, with her for four days with no worries or concerns. She is a wonderful, kind person who loved Louie and he loved her. We can now go away and know that we can count on her love and care.

Carissa was absolutely great! She was on time, communicated and responded quickly, and left the house in immaculate shape. Her love of dogs was obvious and our dog was content and healthy when we returned. I would highly recommend Carissa and would happily use her services again.

Carissa has always had a heart for animals. She goes out of her way to give them the best care possible. Her own animals are like her children and she treats others’ pets the same.

On top of Carissa being one of the most caring and kindest people I know, her care for animals is impeccable. I would trust her to watch any of my pets knowing they would get the love and attention that they deserve provided to them!

Schedule

Every morning I get up & take my medications & I give my dog his meds too. Then he gets his breakfast & goes outside to go potty. Usually once it gets cooling down around 6pm or 7pm I take him for a walk. After we get back from the walk, he gets his nightly medications along with his dinner for the night.

I'm pretty flexible when it comes to dogs. I would just like to know ahead of time if the dog is skiddish or nervous around new people.
