We’re Just Here to Pet All the Dogs

Pet care experience

My fiancé, Jeff, and I have been taking care of dogs since we were kids. So we’ve got experience from puppyhood all the way through end of life. Does your dog wear diapers? Need medication? Hate crates? Love walks? Want lots of cuddles? Need a bath? Separation anxiety? We have been there and done that with all our dogs, and with the fosters we take in -- we’ve got all your dog needs covered. It's important that you and your dog feel comfortable with us (and our dog!), so we require a meet and greet for all new clients.

Carissa and Jeff were fantastic with my pup! They were excellent communicators and took great care of her. She came back happy and tired from playing all weekend. Highly recommend!

TOP NOTCH SITTER! We were so very pleased with Carissa and the way she cared for our dog, Gomer. She walked him daily and allowed him to be anywhere in her house that he wanted to be. He was a part of her family while he was there, and my husband and I could not be more pleased with the love and care she provided, If you want a loving, caring sitter, you can’t go wrong putting your dog in Carissa’s hands !! We will definitely use her services again !!

Carissa and Jeff took care of my pup like he was their own. He had such a great time there and felt at home. Loved the daily updates with pics and video. Made us feel so much more at ease being away.

We have a very large yard with a 6' vinyl fence, and my beagle mix pup will be happy to show your fur baby the ropes! We’ll always care for your pet according to your requests, as we believe it's best to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible. We have plenty of pet beds throughout the house, a large crate in my office that all dogs seem to love, and extra leashes and toys to keep your doggo happy. Our vet is 10 minutes down the road for anything small, and 10 minutes to MedVet Girard should any emergencies arise.

Information Carissa U. would like to know about your pet

What's your dog's personality? What do they enjoy/dislike? Any special needs: meds, foods, potty issues, crate issues, or socialization? What is your vet's info or an emergency contact in case I can't reach you? What about you -- what kind of communication do you want while your pup is with us?

A typical day

Every dog is different, so let me know what makes your doggo happy and we can do it all! Whether it's physical exercise walking around the neighborhood or Mill Creek Park, or mental stimulation with some tug, fetch, or basic command training, we’ll make sure your pup is happy here.
