Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in private yard and sizeable downstairs where your pet can run around or just hang out on a couch, a sunbed or a doggy pool. Dogs are welcome upstairs as well and on furniture. My dog atlas is 12, she’s calm and welcoming. We’ve had many guests over the years including several fosters. I can cater feedings, exercise and sleeping arraignments according to your specific preferences. Please share details about your dog so I can keep them on their preferred schedule :)

Information Carissa P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or quirks so I can accommodate and keep them happy and on their schedule.

A typical day

I live near the best park in NYC, Fort Greene. If they love walks, I’ve got it covered. If they are more of a lounger, I have a nice backyard with doggy pool and lots of space to hang out and lounge inside and outside. Too many toys to count.

Pets

Private yard and lots of attention!

Pet care experience

Your pup will feel right at home with me! I have a private, fenced yard and a spacious duplex where dogs have plenty of room to roam, play, and relax. I’m an active host who loves giving dogs real attention. My friends joke they hope they come back in their next life as my dog- she’s well taken care of and yours will be too. I’m experienced with all ages and stages, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. Expect regular walks to beautiful nearby parks, frequent updates so you’re never left wondering, and the flexibility to accommodate last-minute plans. Safe neighborhood, happy dog.

Carissa is a gift! She jumped right in helping out with my new puppy. She’s responsive caring and patient. Highly recommend

Carissa is absolutely incredible!! I’m so grateful to have found her. She is so clearly a true dog lover. My pup stayed with her for over a long weekend and had a blast. She sent me photo updates everyday so I never had to worry about how he was doing. I will definitely work with her again! Thank you Carissa!!
