Will love your fur baby like my own

Pet care experience

My name is Carissa and I am an animal lover located in Truckee. I work from home which gives me the flexibility to take the pups out for frequent potty breaks or give them a belly rub as they hang out with me at the "office." In my spare time, I volunteer at the Humane Society and I love my work there. I dog sit only one dog at a time so that I can focus on giving your pup the love and attention that it deserves. I prefer to dogsit family dogs that are well-trained, friendly, and know how to behave off of a leash. I have a sweet Australian Shepherd at home that would love to be friends with your pup. I'll treat your pup like I treat my own - with love, care, respect, attention, and lots of belly rubs! I fully believe that an exercised dog is a well-behaved dog. Dogs deserve the daily delights of a walk around Donner Lake, a day at the dog park, 15 minutes of fetch, or mental stimulation training like rehearsing commands. Let me know what activities give your dog the most joy in life, and I'll make sure they have a daily dose of that joy.

Carissa went above and beyond my expectations. She not only took great care of my 3 pets, but she also left my home in great condition, too. She is a great communicator and a professional in every sense of the word. I look forward to working with her again!

I don't have a fenced yard, so if your pup is a runner, I prefer not to take care of them. I do daycare for only one pup at a time, so I can ensure I'm giving them the attention they deserve. I have the pup that I love and adore. I'll give your pup the love, affection, and attention that I give my own. You can expect several updates and photos during their stay with me. Your pup will be very happy and cared for with me.

I work from home and take the pups on a walk or to play fetch during lunchtime. It's nice having another pup around the house!
