Kind, compassionate, dog loving

Pet care experience

Hello! I would love to help take care of your pup as needed while you work, play, or stay somewhere fun! I have two dogs myself - a whippet and a cavapoo - who love other dogs. I also would love to come and help your dog get exercise on walks. Being active and being around dogs is a vitality of mine. I am a nurse practitioner working remotely with lots of flexibility - so I come with empathy and medical skills :).

Carissa took great care of my pup! Sasha was able to play with Carissa’s sweet dogs all day while I was at work :)

Carissa is an animal lover through and through! She has helped care for my pets over the last 10 years - a grumpy, but lovable old boxer with health issues, a rambunctious large chocolate lab that thinks he’s a lap dog, and a Cavapoo puppy that is still learning to be housebroken. Carissa meets each animal where they are and cares for them like her own. My dogs are in great hands with her and get so excited when they see her for every visit. I know they’ll come home happy and tired out from playing and exercising all day. She is also great at hanging out and keeping an eye on dogs that need to hang back or don’t need as much physical exercise, like my boxer used to do.

Carissa has not only walked, but taken care of my family’s dogs many times. She is great with them and has helped us out on many occasions. Would highly recommend!
