I will make sure your dog is happy

Pet care experience

I am a teacher. I have evenings off and the whole summer off. I plan to be a full time dog walker. I am an experienced dog owner and I love dogs. I know the importance of an owner's dog and that their dog is their family. I want to help support the family and make their dog healthy and happy and loved, while the owner knows and trusts that their puppy is in kind and responsible hands. I make sure the dog and home are safe and secure before I leave to walk the dog. I know that every breed and dog is different and needs special type of handling and responsibility. For example, a bit bull is very strong and I make sure I have control of the leash and keep the dog close to me. While a shitzu is sensitive and I make sure the collar or harness is on comfortable but secure. I've been a New York public teacher, tenure, for over twelve years. I have patiences and great communication skills. I am super responsible and genuinely want my customers (students, adults, animals) to feel safe around me, feel loved and appreciated.

My pup's visit with Carissa was ideal. She is caring, fun and attentive. Our vacation was even better because Carissa put our minds at ease in taking care of him. Will absolutely call upon her in the future. Sue H

I have a bichon that Carissa takes care of with great TLC. I know he is good hands when he is in her care. She grew up with small dogs, and even as a child she was very responsible with them. She was always taking care of the the neighbors dogs, whether it was walking them or sitting for them at their homes. I highly recommend her.

Carissa is a kind, caring and responsible dog lover! She has a natural ability to form a strong connection with a dog. I have a Shiba Inu who is very willful, so I don't trust many pet sitters with him. However, he is better behaved for Carissa than for me! She forms a bond with dogs then earns their respect so that they listen and respond to her as the pack leader. I never worry about my dog when Carissa is walking him or watching him, and that peace of mind is priceless because our dogs are our family members!
