Pet care experience

Caring pet lover/mom!

Growing up I was never without a pet. We always had cats and dogs. I have helped care for pets since I was a little girl and often watched animals for family friends. I had my very first dog at 18 who turned out to be deaf. Taking care of him was not easy but so worth all the love we shared. Sadly he passed away from Cancer in 2013. I live a few blocks from the Eudora Elementary school and love walking the trail that goes behind it. I find joy in watching my own animals run and play. I treat all animals as if they were my own children.

Carissa and her family took great care of my fur baby, Mochi. Carissa is very attentive and responsive with communication. Mochi received so much love and attention while at Carissa’s house. I would definitely recommend Carissa for future care.

Carissa was great! Our dog had a great time with her family. We were so grateful that Carissa was able to watch him on short notice, and she sent daily updates!

Schedule

I currently work through the week but I am looking to grow my clients through Rover so I may watch animals full time as I absolutely love them! Right now I am available in the early afternoon/evening and most weekends to do check-ins. I currently work from home and can do doggy day care or boarding through the week and your pet will not be left alone. I hope to be able to watch animals full time eventually.

Safety, trust & environment

I am married and have a 7 year old son. My husband and son share in my love for animals. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs who are super spoiled just like our son. We love to play and cuddle as a family. Our favorite is to cuddle up on the couch with our fur babies and watch a movie. In the client's home I will respect specific requests and respect your home as if it were my own. I can assure a safe, loving, and loyal friend to walk/care your animal. I will gladly take and send picture updates while with your pet to help ensure your pets safety. I'm also happy to help with an special accommodations your pet needs.

Pets

A typical day

I love to take walks and having a furry companion join me makes it even better. We would explore the town walking the trails around your home and stop to check out the neighborhood smells. I love to play with animals...fetch, tug of War, chase, etc.
