Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Carissa! I have had big dogs all through growing up, this led me to meeting large breed dog owners and loving on pups. I have been relied on to support great danes to chihuahuas and all between! I take the balance between safety and fun seriously. My goal is to stick to your routine while providing a fun time and safe care for your pup.

We cannot recommend Carissa highly enough! From our initial meet-and-greet, we knew Cadbury would be in great hands. What impressed us the most was Carissa's attentiveness and care. She took the time to ask detailed questions about Cadbury’s daily routines and personality traits. Carissa sent regular updates, complete with photos which completely eased our worries about leaving Cadbury at home for a week. When we returned home, our house was perfectly clean, and it was evident Cadbury had received plenty of love, attention, and exercise. If you're looking for a dog sitter who is responsible, compassionate, and truly loves dogs, look no further than Carissa. She provides a top-notch service and gives you complete peace of mind. We will absolutely be booking her again in the future!

Carissa is the most caring and easy to work with sitter we've ever worked with! We had a unique situation and Carissa was SO helpful! Our pup, Arlo, was our ring bearer for our wedding and we needed a sitter for him throughout the day and Carissa went above and beyond to make sure our pup was comfortable and happy on the day of. She made sure he was occupied and relaxed while we were getting ready for the wedding and made the coordination of Arlo walking down the aisle a piece of cake. I HIGHLY recommend booking Carissa for any of your pet care needs. We loved her and you definitely will too!
