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!
Reviews
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.
I am very pleased with the care and attention Carissa gave to Sophie. I would definitely choose her again to drop in!
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!
