Pet care experience

Love for animals!

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.

Boarding • Dec 18, 2017

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!

Doggy Day Care • Dec 02, 2017

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!

Carissa was awesome! She sent pictures of our fur-babies, took them to the dog park every day and was extremely flexible with our pick up schedule. She has dogs of her own, therefore ours were constantly playing. Highly recommend!

Vida had a lot of fun playing with Carissa, Rocco and Nala! She came home nice and tired. Carissa also did an awesome job sending us status updates and lots of pictures during the day. We really appreciated that! Thanks again!

I have no breed or size preference. I would like to know if they are neutered or spayed, if they have any special requirements (ex. doesn't like other dogs/cats/squirrels, doesn't like kids, etc)
