I treat all animals like they are my own family, and love learning each one’s personality. They will get lots of cuddles and encouragement from me :)

Information Carissa H. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know what makes your pets uncomfortable or unhappy so I can avoid those things. And in turn, what brings them joy and contentment so I can give lots of that!

A typical day

I would love to show the dogs I walk to the local dog park, tons of gated room to run and friendly dogs galore :) Pets will get all my love and I can play fetch as long as they’ll have me!

Caring mom of 4 & dog lover!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Carissa — a mom of four and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a kid and have trained puppies at home with potty training and basic commands like sit, stay, and come. I love all breeds and personalities — seniors, shy pups, and energetic goofballs are all welcome here! Right now I’m in the slow season of my regular job, which means I have extra time and flexibility to give your pet plenty of attention and love. I treat every animal like family and always take time to understand their unique personality. Expect lots of cuddles, encouragement, and photo updates from me!

Carissa was great! My cat has never warmed up to someone so quickly. Will definitely book again :)
