Pet care experience

I am present 24/7 with your beloved pet, I work from home so they are never left alone during their stay. I love being around animals, and I love being able to help people in need of quality care as well. It can definitely be difficult to find trusted care for your best friend, so I’m here to make your search as easy as can be! In addition to my long history with animals, I also have lots of experience working with foster dogs and many animal rescue organizations. I bring that patience and understanding with me to every booking! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all.

Carissa is a super star with my guy Nipsey Blue. I would literally shed a tear if she wasn’t available when I needed her.

Great stay for Crush! Carissa sent pictures each day and I felt comfortable with the care he was receiving.

Ms.Carissa did an amazing job taking care of my 3 year old boxer, Baretta. She sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated on her eating habits as my baby girl suffers from severe seperation anxiety and doesn't eat the first few days that she is seperated from her family. Thank you Ms.Carissa for your love and patience with Baretta. ❤
