Let me love your pet 💖

Pet care experience

I had a pomeranian whom I adored and cared for until her last day. I miss taking care of her and want to spread the love I have for her to your pet. I am experinced with stubborn behavior and have a few tricks up my sleeve to promote motivation. I can also teach a few tricks. I have taught a client’s pup down, paw, chin, snoot, bang, and roll over. I will communicate efficiently and bring up any issues that occur. I love meeting new pets and getting to know their unique personalities. I am also trying to improve my skills as a pet photographer, so if I have time I will take photos and send them over. —-NEW CLIENTS—- Use the promo code to get $20 off your first booking: CARISL58491 Or https://www.rover.com/sit/carisl58491

Carissa did a fantastic job with our senior dog. Being a senior, our pet needed unique attention and Carissa was flexible and met our requirements. I was out of town and communication was excellent. Book with confidence.

Carissa was very communicative if there were questions, if she was running behind, or anything like that, which was great. She even cleaned up after some accidents which happens especially with older dogs and we're very appreciative of that (and sorry that it happened but thank you for handling!) Rufus gets anxious when we're away, but they seemed to hit it off right away, which is a comfort. Thanks again!

Safety, trust & environment

If I am on a walk, I will try to run around with the dog depending on their energy. I like taking them to parks but if they don’t do well with other dogs or people I do my best to move stay away and be on the other side of the road.

Information Carissa L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or triggers. Should I keep them away from other dogs or people on a walk? What size of dogs or people are they friendly around? Please pick me if you have a pomeranian or husky!!!

A typical day

If I am on a walk, I will try to run around with the dog depending on their energy. If I am doing a drop-in, I will pick up and clean all the pee and poo, don’t worry. I get the dogs outside as much as possible and play with them. I also like to teach them new tricks or give them some nice pets and scratches if they just want to chill.

If you have an unpredictable schedule, I understand, duty calls and you got bills to pay. Thats why I take day of appointments, changed, and cancellations. My schedule is flexible so I am available to help! I am currently in the midst of a career change to project manager. My weeks include studying, painting, volunteering at the library, and occasionally taking care of my grandma. I am job hunting right now so I am sorry if I am suddenly whisked away (hopefully next year). But I can recommend a friend when the time comes.
