Dog Run or Dog Spa, you choose!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Cerrissa and having grown up with dogs of all breeds and sizes, Grew up with 5 dogs of all shapes and sizes. Worked for the ASPCA in college and was a dog pack leader for extra income in Americas Dairyland before starting my career. Love to walk with dogs and go at their pace letting them dictate the route and length. My speciality is teaching them new tricks, and commands. I work part time and mostly from home so potty breaks and outside adventures are easy to come by! I live in an apartment with a fenced in dog run area, but prefer to take pups on walks through the stunning and quiet Hollywood hills! No pets or pups of my own so if your furry friend is shy or not great with other animals I am the sitter for you! During the pandemic I started to walk an watch dogs and cats and other little furry friends full time. So I will be home with your pet the entirety of the stay, I really love to get to know your pet and make there stay tailored to them. Whether it be Long walks and dog parks, or chill strolls and belly rubs, I plan to shower your pet with adoration and a genuinely enjoyable time! I have a two bedroom apartment all to myself, no roommate, so the spare bedroom is often claimed by your pet, so they can lounge in the sun, or snuggle in the bed, it’s completely pet friendly, a baby proofed apartment of sorts!

Cerrissa was great! She accommodated our last minute request and took Sophie on a nice long walk. I would recommend her to all dog parents!

Cerissa was excellent. She came over on short notice and was so great with our dog Owen. Our dog has severe separation anxiety and we needed someone who wasn't going to leave him and she was very understanding and did so great making him comfortable in our absence.

Cerrissa was amazing. She was phenomenal at communicating, prompt with responses, and sweet. I appreciate her for taking care of my dog while I was out of town for a week. She took her on the long walks she needed, and kept her on a good schedule. She updated me with daily photos of Koko and I’m just so grateful she did such an amazing job. I’d definitely be comfortable letting koko stay with her anytime I’m gone.

Cerrissa is wonderful! She treated Bear with the utmost care. I always get nervous leaving Bear with a sitter but Cerrissa sends updates throughout the day and is usually very responsive. Thank you for taking such good care of Bear! Will definitely rebook.

Information Cerrissa O. would like to know about your pet

I love to know what a typical day for your dog looks like. If your dog knows tricks or you’re looking to work on a few commands let me know. I love keeping dogs active in body and in mind, teaching fun new tricks is my specialty! I can also work on leash etiquette and any other necessary training you’re working on.

A typical day

I always love to ask owners how active or how chill their dog is. I live a few blocks from a small dog park but if you’ve got an active runner I love going to the large dog park nearby. But I also love long walks and hiking as well as running with dogs, as I’m a marathoner and even have a dog running leash. If a more calm and quiet experience is what your pup is looking for, I love a mellow walk or even a visit to Griffith park, where we lay in the grass, and enjoy the sun! I always check with owners first before we embark on any adventures!
