Quiet Country Setting

Pet care experience

I am a stay at home mom who loves animals. I had many dogs growing up, and as an adult I have trained several puppies to be my own companions. I cared for our elderly chocolate lab and jack russell terrier, so I'm familiar with caring for all ages of pets. Currently our family has a female lab mix. We also have an outdoor cat that we adopted through Humane Fort Wayne after fostering her and her litter of kittens. Our children range in age from 5-14 and share my love for animals. They love to help with our pets and give them attention. We live on around 4 acres. There is plenty of space to go for a sniffing walk around the property or up and down our quiet lane. If you're looking for a quiet getaway for your beloved pet, then our home would be perfect!

Karisa took care of my 3 cats while I was away and was responsible with giving me updates and pictures about them. She played with them and made sure they always had food and water. She also cleaned up some of the litter mess my cats made which was appreciated. I 100% would book with Karisa again!

Karisa and her family did a wonderful job of taking care of my 2 dogs. She provided photos and communicated regularly about how they were doing. This was my first time using her and definitely won’t be my last! Thanks so much!

Our pup seemed happy despite a windy weekend that usually makes him super uncomfortable, even when he's at home. He even ate which isn't normal when we're away!
