Highlights
Pet care experience
Veterinary assistant, cat lover
Growing up in Port Angeles near the Olympic National Park, I have always had a strong love for animals. I received my Bachelor’s degree in biology and would like to attend veterinary school in the near future. Through internships, volunteering, work experience, and personal experience, I’ve cared for a variety of species including cats, dogs, amphibians, reptiles, beavers, big cats, and wolf-dogs. I have 1.5 years experience working as a cat caregiver at a no-kill nonprofit animal rescue. During my time as a caregiver, I worked with special needs cats, senior cats, and kittens. I am currently working as a veterinary assistant at a local veterinary clinic. I have worked with dogs and cats with a variety of health conditions and temperaments.

Safety, trust & environment
I would prefer to conduct a meet and greet with both you and your animal prior to caring for them in order to establish their trust. I will happily take your dog(s) for 30 minute walks around your neighborhood, and I will pick up after them during walks as well. For in home visits, if I am letting your dog out to potty, I will make sure that it is only within a fenced area that your dog cannot jump, or that your dog is on a leash. I am also a firm advocate for indoor-only cats and I am careful to not let your cats outside when I enter or exit your home. I have experience feeding pets dry food, wet food, prescription diets, and raw food diets, and will be more than happy to keep your pet on their regular meal regiment while you are gone as I understand the importance of an established routine for animals. I am familiar with medicating pets such as giving them eye drops, ear drops, pills, liquid oral medications, and subcutaneous injections. Lastly, I’ll make sure that everyone always has fresh water.
Ratings and reviews
Great sitter.
Karisma has sat my dog Monkey a few times now, she is always respectful, tidy, attentive to directions, and Monkey is calm while she's there to keep her company. Monkey has separation anxiety, and Karisma has been nice enough to stay with her as many hours of the day as possible.
Karisma did a wonderful job taking care of my kitty. I would definitely recommend her!
Karisma took wonderful care of over energetic young dog and two cats. We would have her again in a heartbeat
Very professional and did a great job caring for my 2 dogs. Also amazing communication, thank you so much!
Karisma was wonderful! Our pups were happy as can be when we got home. She communicates well and even sent pics! Highly recommend her!

I have two cats of my own. I also work as a veterinary assistant full-time where I provide medical care to animals. This includes giving vaccines, drawing blood, trimming nails, providing food and water, and cleaning cages for animals that are staying in the hospital for extended periods of time.
