Highlights
Pet care experience
Please let me meet your pets!
My family has had dogs, cats, and other small pets since I can remember. From helping a cat give birth to raising a litter of puppies when the mother stopped feeding them, I have lots of experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve also cared for guinea pigs, hamsters, and parakeets.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
When we were in college, Carissa adopted an Australian Shepherd. Despite having a busy academic schedule, she always made Anya a priority. I have never seen a dog thrive as much as that one did under Carissa's care. We all loved Anya and she was such a special addition to our college family.

Schedule
I do work full time, but I am off every other weekend and am flexible with the weekdays that I’m off. I do have dogs myself, so pet care is already very integrated into my routines.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have an open yard, but it is surrounded by a hay field and across from a dairy farm. The road is mostly only traveled by farm vehicles, who are used to watching out for chickens or any other animals on the road. I also have 3 friendly dogs of varying energy levels who do not leave the yard and will keep your pets company! No pet, however, will be left outside unsupervised. As for indoors, we have an open living room/kitchen area and lots of toys. There is plenty of room for even a large crate if needed.
Pets
A typical day
I live on lots of back roads, so the doggos will get plenty of walk time with lots of smells to explore. My dogs also enjoy fetch, so we do that at least once a day weather permitting. My puppy Emma loved one-on-one play with any animal that will give her attention, so there’s always that option too!
