Highlights
Pet care experience
Fur Babies Are Family!
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!

Carissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

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.
Ratings and reviews
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!
Carissa was amazing! She took such great care of our boy! And sent us nocturnes through the day! Highly recommend!!!
I highly recommend Carissa! Her genuine warmth and love of animals is apparent. Carissa did a wonderful job caring for my two indoor cats, fish and chickens while our family was away! She was reliable and had wonderful attention to detail. I appreciated the handwritten note she left giving a brief overview of how caring for our animals went. I knew my animals were in great hands.
I have known Carissa for 10+ years. Her care and concern can only be matched by my own. I myself am a Rover 5-Star pet sitter and would only back someone that I feel would provide the same care as I. Carissa treats pets as fur babies, and better then some people treat their own children. She will not only provide the needed care for your pet, but more importantly she will bond with your pet.
