Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Carissa! I've owned dogs practically my entire life. Living with a husky, I've had to find ways to help exert her energy. I own a Dog-tow leash that attaches to my bike and can allow a dog to run safely next to me. I also own a Black Lab with tons of energy. I'm familiar with smaller breeds and mixed breeds. I love any type of pup and would treat them as they are my own. I enjoy being playful with high energy dogs but I am also relaxed around more mellow pups. I am a recently registered occupational therapist looking to make some money before starting full-time work in March. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask!

Carissa was awesome! She did two visits with my German Shepherd Rocky which included walking him, letting him outside to play and roam, and feeding him dinner. I was nervous at first since I don’t typically leave my dog but Carissa eased my fears when Rocky and I met her. She was very kind, friendly, and playful with Rocky. She also sent pictures during her visit which I really appreciated and eased my concern. I will definitely ask her to care for Rocky again if I ever need a sitter. Thanks Carissa!

I'd like to know your pup's age and if there are any precautions I should be aware of (ie. Maybe they don't get along well with other dogs)

A typical day

I love taking dogs on mini hikes that make it fun for both of us. There's a few on Long Island that I've found my dogs to enjoy. I can also take them on bike rides safely if they enjoy running. Dog runs are an option as well.
