Fellow Dog Mom Offering Loving Care

Hi! I’m based in Northeast Austin and a lifelong dog lover. 🐾 I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I also have a dog of my own who is truly my pride and joy, so I understand how important it is to know your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Because I’m home full-time, your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day; no long stretches alone. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, or just relaxing with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for like part of the family. 💕 I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup!

Carissa watched my cat a few times now and I would trust her again to watch him! Ridley loves hanging out with her and I know he is in good hands when she is with him. I always got updates and cute pictures, 10/10 recommend!

Carissa has been so loving with my 4 month old puppy, Tex! As a new dog owner, I’m always a little hesitant to bringing him around new people. However, Tex naturally loved Carissa! 10/10 would recommend again :)

Carissa is a very trustworthy person who cares for and loves animals a lot. I would trust her to take care of my pup who means the world to me. She is caring and will make sure any pet she watches is well taken care of and loved.

Carissa is a caring and thoughtful person. She absolutely loves dogs. She's grown up with dogs her whole life. Although she can't have a dog where she lives now, she would love for them to somehow be part of her life. By pet sitting and dog walking she would be able to do that.
