Karisa did a great for us and Murphy. When we were stranded in London Heathrow, she assured us she would take of Murphy while we struggled to get home. He really seemed to enjoy her company and we didn't worry about him. Karisa sent lots of pictures and texts to let us know he was fine.

Karisa is great with dogs (and cats and guinea pigs and humans). Animals clearly naturally gravitate toward her, and she welcomes them with open arms. She's so in-tune to how they feel. She easily discerns the differences among dog's various feelings--wanting to go out or to be fed or just to cuddle. And aside from her natural instincts with animals, she just loves them so much. She'll always do what's in the best interest of the animal and will treat it with the same (if not more) kindness and respect that she would a human. I've seen her care for my and other people's and her own pets before, and I've never known an animal to not adore her. I highly, highly recommend Karisa as a pet sitter.
