Carissa is very personable and a delight to meet. She exercised with our dogs daily and sent pictures as well which I enjoyed while I was away. I could tell when we got back our dogs enjoyed her company. She was a great fit for us!

Carissa has been amazing with my dog and more importantly my dog loves her. From the daily walks to the extra treats she knows the way to a dogs heart.

Schedule

I am a travel nurse from South Dakota but currently live in Des Moines. I work night shift so during the day I’m around. My days are generally grouped together but letting pets out or walking are both doable! I can do overnights and watch for periods of time it will just depend on my schedule.
