Availability

I’m working part time, my schedule is very flexible so I can meet and take care of your babies. Pet care is already a part of my daily life. I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’m used to early walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving meds when needed. Taking care of pets fits right into my routine and honestly brings me so much joy—I love making sure they’re happy and comfortable.

Information carissa m. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog requires any special care and/or any allergies they may have. I would also love to know your dog’s energy level along with what their training experience is!

A typical day

I will take your dog on nice long walks, if toys are available, we can play ball or fetch. If there is a nearby dog park, I’m more than happy to let your pup play around with others. I make sure they get some fresh air, exercise, love, and anything else they need—whether it’s food, water, or just some company. I stick to their routine and always make sure they’re safe and happy.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Carissa, a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all kinds — from energetic Chihuahuas and Yorkies to my two sweet Frenchies, including Luna, who’s been through two surgeries and needed lots of love and care. I’m comfortable with training routines, giving medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pup needs a calm cuddle or a playful walk, I’m here to treat them like family!

Carissa did a wonderful job with Walter my energetic Bernedoodle. She was prompt and gave updates and photos every visit. Highly recommended and will be using her again.

All of the feral cats survived my absence. Carissa went above and beyond what was expected.
