Pet care experience

Kind, Careful, and Animal Obsessed

I grew up as a ‘chicken whisperer’ and showed bunnies in 4H, so I truly love animals. I’ve spent some time helping my mom with her pet sitting, and I’ll treat your dogs, cats, or farm friends like my own family.

Safety, trust & environment

Since I live in a Purdue dorm, I’ll come to your home where your pets feel most comfortable! I am happy to travel to you for walks, check-in’s, or playdates in their own familiar space.

Carissa did a fantastic job taking care of my cat while I was away for the weekend. She was great with messaging me about potential issues and made sure my apartment stayed in the same condition I left it. I’m so appreciative for Carissa’s help!
