Pet care experience

Former Dog Care Professional

I used to work for a dog care company through college. I learned their professional systems in place, how they cared for dogs, and gave the owner comfort that their dogs were in great hands. I’ve had dogs since 2 years old - terriers, chihuahuas, and now a Labrador named Alfie. I’m experienced with many breeds. I can also take care of cats, hamsters, etc if needed.

Charissa was great with our pups and flexible with our schedule! They were happy and healthy when we got home!

Charissa gave excellent care for our fur baby while we were out of town. We are so happy we found her as an option instead of having to board our dog. We will use her again in the future! Thank you for everything.

Charissa is awesome! Super easy to communicate with, welcomed Magnum into her home and took excellent care of him. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be a repeat customer. Magnum is a very active young male Aussie. He was at ease from our first meet and greet, drop off and pick up. So thankful we found her.

Charissa stayed in our home while we took a quick trip out of town and did so well with our pups. We will happily utilize her services again!

Excellent experience. Charissa took great care of our girl for four days and provided daily snapshots to keep us informed.

Schedule

Both my husband and I work remotely full-time. I have a very flexible schedule in cybersecurity and can always make time for pet care. We already care for our Labrador in our house during our remote schedule and he gets daily 2-mile walks and lots of play time.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard in my house. If they stay at my house, there is a very friendly Labrador here. I will keep small dogs separate from the Labrador not because he’s aggressive, but because he’s clumsy. The lab is still a puppy, so he’s not yet fixed. I cannot accept unspayed females. If your dog is up for it, they will get daily 2-mile walks with my Labrador. They are free to run around the living room/kitchen area as long as they are potty trained. They will get lots of pets and love!
