Pet care experience

I love seeing smiles and wags!

I’ve had animals my entire life, from small Chihuahuas to large pit bulls, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I truly see animals as family and treat every pet in my care with the same love and attention I would give my own. Working with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I love spending time walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. My goal is to continue growing this into a long-term business built on trust, reliability, and happy pets. Nothing makes me happier than knowing both pets and their owners feel comfortable and cared for.

Carissa was an awesome sitter! She was very calm and patient with our pups and was super responsive and sent great updates while we were away. We will definitely ask her to sit again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a nice big home with plenty of room for any sized dog. I have a nice fenced in backyard that is safe and I also could do walks if you prefer that. I usually sleep in the living room with them just in case they like to sleep with people.

your pet has any special routines or requirements, I’m happy to go over everything ahead of time. Every pet is different, and I want to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s medications, feeding schedules, favorite toys, or even their own little routine, I’m more than happy to follow it!
