Flexible schedule, can do meds

Pet care experience

Hello! I have 3 years experience volunteering at a local animal rescue shelter AND at a local Petsmart's cat adoption center. I care deeply about animals and am passionate about making sure that not only are their physical needs met, but also their social and emotional needs as well. I especially care about making sure they get social interaction (less loneliness) and time to stretch out their legs! My schedule is flexible, especially for this summer. I am also a high school teacher during the school year, but I still make time to volunteer at the shelter when I'm working. I am completely fine with walking your dog, playing with your dog and cleaning up whatever mess is left. I have 1 dog of my own and 2 cats.

Carissa is a wonderful, warm, and dependable pet setter. We were able to go on vacation and have peace of mind knowing that our dogs were in the care of a compassionate, knowledgeable and experienced sitter. My dogs quickly bonded with her, even Tasha, who is standoffish. She treated our dogs as though they were her own and when she found a flea on one, she took quick action. I am so happy that Carissa has come into our lives!!!

Carissa's love for animals is beyond compare. She's a very dedicated pet sitter who takes her time to give attention to our dog. We completely trust her with our beloved lilly.

Carissa and I volunteer at an animal shelter together. They is very loving and caring with all the animals and really know how to handle them. She understands their demeanor, and know when they are uncomfortable. She really know what’s she’s doing. She also really good at talking to people who come intot the Shelter and she’s very social!
