Pet care experience

I got my first dog when I was 4 years old and I took care of her as my own responsibility. Throughout childhood I had several animals such as guinea pigs, turtles, fish, a parrot- and helped raise bunnies, ducks, and german shepherd puppies. Growing up and continuing through adulthood I have enjoyed volunteering at dog rescues and dog events. Volunteering can include walking the dogs for long periods of time, play time, and baths. I also worked on a huge ranch for a summer where there was every kind of farm animal. I learned so much and had several responsibilities but overall I cleaned and fed different types of farm animals 2x daily and deep cleaned pens daily. About 5 years ago I got my own dog, who ended up being a big Mastidoodle! I have had several training sessions with a professional dog trainer because of this so I am very comfortable with dogs and know how to handle them well. I also recently owned 2 pygmy goats that I took care of full time as pets. I have been passionate about animals since I can remember! I moved to AZ recently and had to leave my pets behind for the time being so I am looking for any extra way to spend time caring for animals. I have an extremely flexible schedule right now and would love to help you!

PEACE OF MIND!!!!! My fur-baby is a 13 year old Chiweenie who is handicapped from being hit by a car 10 years ago. His injuries are in his back end and give him the independence of a 12” tall life all the time. He needs assistance to climb even one stair! But he’s a good boy who loves his short life! This year we scheduled a six day vacation. On a cruise ship. I’ve never had to figure out who would take care of my dog before. I met a few people and did a few interviews. I couldn’t find anything that made me comfortable. I met Carissa and knew that she was going to be good for him. My pups injuries have kept him pretty sheltered. Not much opportunity for knowing other dogs, cats, or kids. Therefore, he has a huge aversion to most of them. Carissa‘s living situation took care of those issues for me. There aren’t any. That was the biggest draw for me was that I was going to not have to worry about my babies negative interactions with others. She took him in and made him her priority. He got to go on car rides which he loves. Sleep in his own beds and he does that most of the day. She was able to keep him to his simple routine and surround him with the things that make him comfortable. She sent pictures and updates. They would only pop in occasionally as I was not in this country. But they gave me the ability to enjoy myself without having to worry about him at all. For the first time ever. I will continue to use Carissa for my pups care. I found a real gem here…..

Carissa is excellent with Animals. It was very obvious she has a love for animals upon meeting her. She treats them with love and compassion and goes out of her way to make sure the fur babies are living their best life. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to leave their fur babies and not stress about them! Carissa is a respectful and trustworthy person and a true diamond in the rough when in comes to pet care!
