I do work full-time, but I am available during the week, early mornings, evenings, and nights. Since I do not work weekends, I have open availability. I do not work holidays, and am available during those times as well. I look forward to caring for your fur babies!

About Carissa R.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Pet parents can trust that I will follow whatever instructions are provided to me. My professional job is in Human Resources, so I understand the importance of following the rules, and I believe in caring for a pet the same way I would want mine cared for.
Information Carissa R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know all your pets dos and don'ts ahead of time. If you have a pet that prefers not to be loved on and just needs their basic needs taken care of that's fine. If you have a pet that needs extra cuddles, that is fine too! I am here to care for your fur baby the same way you care for them!
A typical day
I will engage the pets with simulated activities tailored to their individual personalities and energy levels. For dogs, such activities as tug-of-war, walks, and exploring their background or neighborhood. For cats, entertaining them with endless fun with feather toys, laser points, and providing mental stimulation with puzzle feeders. Both cats and dogs will get endless pets, cuddles (if the pet so desires), or just hang out with them.

Pet care experience
My journey began when I worked for the Humane League in Lancaster. From there, I started caring for friends' and families' pets over the years, as well as my own. I have owned both cats and dogs; currently, I have a Great Dane/Labrador Mix and a mini dachshund. My experience caring for dogs includes bathing, ear cleaning, teething brushing, walks, fetch, feeding, medication administration, and just hanging out! All breeds WELCOME, both BIG and small!
Cat care experience
Carissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Carissa R. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Carissa was great with our timid little kitty and helped her transition to a new home very well. We appreciated her help greatly!
Carissa was so mindful and caring with my kitties, and was so gentle with giving my 20yo kitty her meds. She even took out my trash when I forgot, and sent lots of pictures every day I was away. Absolutely will be booking again, thank you so much!! 💙
Carissa is the best. She was able to help me out last minute when I was going to be out of town. Will definitely book with her again!
