Safety, trust & environment

In our home we have the entire property gated when they want to go in the yard. We also take them from walks together and sometimes separate because the husky walks more than the little one ! If I watch the dogs in your home that is fine as well especially if they are not social with other dogs , as long as i know where the food and water is for the animal and what they need I don’t mind the environment .

Information Karisa D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance if the dog is not good with other animals or children/adults . Please also let me know if the dog is on any sort of medication and instructions if needed .

A typical day

My dogs need a lot of attention. We start with a walk for the day for about two miles. And the second he is home he sleeps and then is ready with his rope toy!!! I would love to bring the dogs to dog parks !!! And take them for long walks , and ( if allowed ) treats I trained my small dog s’mores a lot of tricks with these super mini treats so that she can have a few and not feel to full !

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with animals my entire life and have experience caring for both large and small dog breeds. I currently own a Husky and a Pomeranian, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with very different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s a playful puppy, an active adult dog, or a senior pet, I’ll treat every animal like they’re part of my own family.

I am absolutely delighted to recommend Karisa as a dog walker. she is an incredibly responsible, mature, and compassionate young woman. She has a deep, natural love for animals and treats every dog she meets with kindness and patience. Beyond her affection for pets, she is exceptionally reliable, punctual, and attentive to detail—exactly the kind of person you want caring for your furry family member.

Karisa is a very well experienced person in this field. She’s had dogs her whole life, especially big dogs and little dogs. She knows how to correctly handle a dog in non-harmful way. She loves and cares for many many animals with all her heart.

Karisa loves all animals. I watch her lay on the floor and let them climb all over her. She is very gentle and loving With anything with fur. She seems to like animals more Than people. She is SUPER friendly.

Karisa is a kind driven young lady. I would highly recommend karisa as a pet caregiver. Knowing karisa for 19 years she has taken excellent care of her pets, and put their health and well being needs at the highest priority. Karisa is extremely kind and caring making her the perfect pet companion. karisa is also very responsible, if I had a pet I would never hesitate to leave her as a care giver. As a pet caregiver, karisa would treat every pet like her own. If I knew karisa would be my pet care giver, all my worries would be put to rest.
