I have a warm heart for cold noses!

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.

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!

Carissa was fantastic! I had a change of plans at the last minute and she rolled with it with grace and kindness. She went over and above all of my expectations and sent lots of pictures of my dogs enjoying themselves - she was also honest that one of them really missed me and sat by the gate waiting for me; I extra appreciate that because it would have been really easy (and probably more comfortable) to just fluff over that. She even sent pictures when she gave the time-sensitive meds to one of my dogs. VERY responsible, played with them outside a lot, snuggled with them on the couch. Even put my sheep in their pen at night! ? She even left super sweet gift bags with report cards for each of them (just the dogs, not the sheep lol) ! I highly recommend her and as a dog professional of 45 years I can be hard to please.

Carissa is a caring and highly responsible pet sitter. Our senior dog was having a bout of health issues when we were heading out of town so we wanted to leave him with someone we could trust to take good care of him in our home. She was very attentive to his needs, following instructions left regarding feeding, medications, etc. I don’t hesitate to ask her first when ever we need someone to watch him again.

Carissa is wonderful with our two dogs. She gives them all the love and attention they need. She is great with large dogs and small. She was even able to teach one of our dogs multiple tricks!
