Availability
I’m currently dedicating my schedule to pet care as my main focus, so I’m very flexible and available throughout the day. I’m able to provide consistent routines with walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention.

About Carissa G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my top priorities in every service I offer. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I keep a calm, clean, and structured environment while following each pet’s routine closely. I always ask about feeding instructions, potty schedule, leash rules, and any triggers or special needs so I can provide consistent care. I’m careful with door and gate safety, use secure leashing practices on walks, and closely monitor pets for stress signals or changes in behavior. I respect clients’ homes, keep everything tidy and secure, and I communicate consistently with regular updates and photos so owners always feel informed and comfortable.

Information Carissa G. would like to know about your pet
I like to know your pet’s daily routine (feeding times, potty schedule, walks), personality and energy level, and any training commands they know. I also ask about medical needs, allergies, medications, and any past injuries. It’s helpful to know if they have behavior triggers (reactive to other dogs, fear of men/loud noises, separation anxiety), and whether they’re okay with dog parks, hiking, or being around other animals/children. Lastly, I like to know their favorite toys/treats, and what helps them feel most comfortable in a new environment.
A typical day
I always follow the dog’s normal routine as closely as possible (feeding times, potty breaks, walk schedule, and any special instructions). For fun and exercise, I like to do neighborhood walks, playtime, dog park trips (if approved), and hikes/outdoor adventures for higher-energy pups. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, enrichment, and calm downtime, and I’ll send photo updates throughout the day.

Pet care experience
For the past 9 years, I cared for my own dog and learned firsthand what consistent, trustworthy pet care really takes — especially with energetic, strong personalities and pets who need structure. I’m patient, attentive, and very routine-focused. I’m also familiar with the pet care world because a close friend of mine ran a dog daycare farm, so I’m comfortable around multiple dogs, different temperaments, and the type of routines that keep pets safe, happy, and calm. What sets me apart is that I prioritize reliable routines: plenty of walks, consistent feeding/potty schedules, enrichment, and lots of loving attention. I treat every pet like family while still providing structure so they feel secure. (I don’t have children in my home I can’t find where to edit that part of the profile)

Thank you for taking such good care of the dogs! Appreciate you being able to come by last minute and get them out & fed! Thank you!
Carissa was great at communicating while I was gone! She took very good care of my pup and left the place perfect when I returned!
Carissa was great to work with, she was very responsive and gave my dog so much love while I was gone for the day!
Carissa is a great pet sitter! She takes great care of my two dogs and my house while I’m gone. Highly recommend.
