Pawsome sittings are my specialty!

Pet care experience

I couldn’t think of going thru life without a dog companion. Dogs were always a part of our family growing up, and myself and my siblings were tasked with feeding, cleaning and just general care of our dogs. Today, my husband and I are proud parents of two rescues Ragnar and Floki. One of our major concerns is always doggie care for when we are out of town. My goal is to make sure your pups keep their regular routine while having a fun and active walk. I don’t mind bathing on over night stays or being able to give your pup any medication. I’ll be sure to care for your family like I would my own. I can’t wait to care for your pup!

Carissa was great! She sent us plenty of updates and it seemed like Hank has a great time. We will definitely be using Carissa again!

AMAZING!! We loved having our dog stay with Carissa and her family. He did so good and we would get daily pictures and check ups while we were out of town. We felt so at ease knowing he was having so much fun and he was safe. Thank you for caring for our dog like your own! We will definitely be rebooking, highly recommend!

Carissa and her husband are great! We always feel confident and safe leaving our beloved doodle with them. She sends pictures daily and takes very good care of our dog. It’s nice to know we can be traveling and trust that he is in good hands ☺️

Information Carissa R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if: - Your dog has separation anxiety? - Do they chew on objects? - Do they get along with people and other dogs? I have two dogs of my own and want to make sure they always feel comfortable in their own home. - Are they crate trained? - Have aggression when it comes to feeding time or playing with toys?

A typical day

We have lots of toys in our home for pups to play with and when they are on their best behavior have delicious treats for them to feast on. Our yard is large enough for them to do tons of zoomies and we can also take them on walks on the nearby track at the school.
