Information Charissa G. would like to know about your pet
- age, breed, & size of your pets - any special needs/medication/allergies - feeding/walking routine - temperament (likes/dislikes) - crate trained or not - obedience commands they know/learning - any other information you’d like to share!
A typical day
We spend most of our days outside (weather permitting). Dog-friendly dogs may have small group playtime (depending on group dynamics), and/or we will play/interact one-on-one so everyone gets their needs met (even dogs who don’t get along with others). We also work on basic manners (ie. leash manners, crate manners, waiting for food, waiting at doorways, and teaching independence).

Reviews
Charissa is the only person I trust for boarding and daycare needs. My boys always have a great time at Poindexter Park.
Charissa is talented and takes her work seriously. She is professional and has great space for the dogs and this was a great place for our 7 month old to gain socialization. Would go again!
Our two pups recently stayed with Charissa for 9 days. She provides excellent care, especially for our 12 year old who can be anxious in boarding situations. Being a dog trainer as well, Charissa also works on basic manners which is much appreciated! Highly recommend for anyone needing a safe and happy place for their pups.
Bandit had the BEST day with Charissa! My pup had been called an ‘Eeyore’ by another pet sitter, but he was safely introduced to other dogs and made friends! Charissa not only provides a safe playground, she uses every opportunity to coach the dogs as well. An outstanding doggy daycare provider!
