Love for animals!

Pet care experience

I have always loved animals! I am a very experienced care giver when it comes to animals. I worked as a manager at a dog boarding facility for almost two years. During that time I learned how to administer medications, handle special needs dogs/elderly dogs, how to see the warning signs from aggressive dogs, how to handle K9 unit dogs, and much more. Next to that I also have my certification in grooming and training from ABC (Animal Behavior College). Lastly I volunteer at a non-profit called PawPads. They train service dogs from diabetic alert dogs to parapoligic service dogs. I have been doing that for almost 5 years now and absolutely love it. I miss working with animals everyday and hope to be able to do this on a frequent, part time basis!

Carissa is so helpful and does a great job. It gives me such peace of mind knowing she's coming by and giving attention to Sophie and checking on my outdoor cats.

Carissa did an excellent job watching my dog when I had to go out of town over a weekend!! My dog has a big personality and is about 50lbs, and I really felt like Carissa was the right mix of patient/calm/assertive with him. When I picked up my dog, he didnt seem stressed at all by having spent a few days with Carissa. Best of all, Carissa is extremely responsive and very friendly in person, and she was very accomodating about drop off and pick up times. I believe she really loves and understands dogs, and I would definitely trust her to watch my dog anytime!

Carissa welcomed our new pup with open arms and heart so we could have a night out on the town without having to worry about him being a crate for 6 hours. I received pictures and I am confident he was well loved and cared for!
