Vet Nurse & Pet Care Extraordinaire

Pet care experience

Hello! I have been working with animals professionally for over 10 years. I am a Registered Veterinary Technician, currently working full time for a canine specialty surgical center. I also have extensive experience with general practice and emergency medicine. I have been taking care of all sorts of animals for my entire life. I love and am comfortable taking care of all breeds of dogs, cats, small animals, fish, birds, and even reptiles. In my free time, I foster neonatal, sick or injured orphaned kittens, go on hikes, and hang out with my cats. Animals have always been a very important part of my life and I will love your pets as much as my own! Thank you for checking out my page and feel free to message me with any questions you may have!

Why can't I leave 10 stars? Clarissa immediately had one of my nervous kittens rubbing all over her. My husband and I are so happy we found her. She is our go to when we go out of town again.

She provided quick feedback to my last minute inquiry for a dog walk. She was on time and sent me pictures. Would book her again!

Our fur babies loved being cared for by Carissa! On time, meticulous, thoughtful. We will absolutely ask her to sit for us again.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pet, I promise to love them as if they are my own. When walking dogs, I prefer to use two sets of leashes to ensure even the most rambunctious of dogs isn’t able to run away.

Information Carissa W. would like to know about your pet

Do they have a preferred walking route? Are they good with other animals? Are they crate trained and/or potty trained? I would like to know as much as possible about their daily routine to help them have the best experience possible!
