Vet Assistant + lover of all pets🐾
Pet care experience
I have taken care of my own animals for many years now. I am currently a veterinary assistant which I am able to be around and work with pets for several hours and provide them with the best care possible. Prior to becoming a VA, I have also spent my time volunteering in an animal clinic. Having the experience in an animal clinic had exposed me to various animals with a wide range of sizes, relying on me to walk, bathe, nail trim, feed, and provide medication to their beloved pets. In addition to my volunteering experience + current job position, I have also worked at a doggy daycare facility, having the opportunity to understand different doggy behaviors as well as spending quality time with them!
Reviews
Carissa went above and beyond to take care of our elderly cat. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs.
Thank you so much for taking care of Emmy for us again! She was so well cared for while we were gone and it’s so nice to return home to a happy pet. We really appreciated all the wonderful photos while we were traveling. Thanks also for the toys/card. We put them in her stocking. 😊
Carissa was fantastic! She followed instructions, truly cared about my pet, and was an extremely effective communicator and caretaker. I couldn't ask for a more trustworthy person to look after my pets while I was out of town. Highly recommend!
Carissa did a great job and provided a detailed update and photos of her visit! We look forward to having her cat sit for us again in the future

Safety, trust & environment
I care for my pets by making sure they have everything they could imagine! My cats are specifically indoor, and I like to provide plenty of enrichments for them when I’m at home and when I’m off at work or school. I have a routine that sets them up for a proper feeding schedule that’s good for their diet and for their hygiene. Their additional daily care involves brushing their teeth everyday, clipping their nails once a month, and offering brushes every other week! For my clients, I provide care as if their furry companions were my own! I stick to the schedule that their paw parents have for them so that they can maintain their comfortable routine. My goal is to always go above and beyond! Informing owners with many delightful images of their companion(s) and describing how their day was for them is so important as it allows me to keep them informed that they are safe and well taken care of!
