Loving and Reliable Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I absolutely adore fur babies. I've always had animals growing up and enjoy spending time with them. My son Liam is 16 years old and has grown attached to cats and dogs. So this pet care business is really a joy for us. We could care for your fur babies and make them happy, while mommy and daddy are away. I also make homemade organic treats for dogs and cats. I love going for walks, so dog walking is probably my favorite part about this business. I take special requests upon needed and have a very flexible schedule. I am a certified holistic practitioner, so I am trained to treat animals and humans with holistic medicine and nutrition. I am very flexible and manage re-occuring pet clients along with new bookings. I devote my time to make sure all my fur babies are happy and healthy. I live in a pet friendly apartment. There is a nice dog park that also includes a dog bath area. I don't have any other pets at home, so my main focus is always the dog or cat I am boarding.

Carissa always does a great job with my 2 cats. They are comfortable around her, even the first time she came over, they came out to meet her. She cleans up after them, puts down all their different food and treats, and spends time petting and playing with them. I feel they are well taken care of by her. This is the third or fourth time I've booked Carissa and she is reliable. Thank you so much!

Carissa has looked after our cat, Tom, several times now. We love that she is very responsive, and sends us daily updates (with photos) too! Overall, Carissa is awesome and I would highly recommend her to care for your furry loved ones any time!
