Safety, trust & environment

Our house is a split level home (2 stories), occupied by my husband, our 16-year-old son, our 8-year-old son and our dog, Watson. We always attempt to mimic your routine to the best of our ability, following any house rules you have and practicing the same commands practiced at your house. We do request a kennel at drop off. We understand that while your pet may not require a crate when alone at home we do require one for their own safety if we leave our house. A new environment always welcomes curious minds.

Home

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog
Children 0-5 years old
Children 6-12 years old
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture

Information Carissa P. would like to know about your pet

I always like to know about a dogs temperment. What are they okay with? What should I avoid doing? What are their favorite activities? How do they like to be greeted? Are they capable of jumping a 4ft chain link fence? Are they prone to running? Have they or are they currently crate training?

A typical day

All animals in our care will enjoy leashed walks either around your neighborhood. We also enjoy games of fetch in our backyard. If they’re not running around outside, your babies will be spoiled with treats and soft couches inside. (Unless otherwise noted).

Thanks for keeping the kitties well fed and happy, and keeping my plants alive through the heat wave! Take care.

Carissa does a great job always. She kept my kitties safe and loved while I was on vacation. Having Carissa around lets me relax on vacation and know my pets will be good. I will use her again and again.
