Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I can give them plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I also stick to their routines to keep things familiar and stress-free! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel at ease by following their usual schedule—whether that’s mealtime, walks, or play. I also keep owners updated so they always know their pet is happy and well cared for.

Information Karissa A. would like to know about your pet

I always make sure I have all the right details before a walk or drop-in visit to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable. I ask about their routine, energy level, leash habits, and any special needs like medications or dietary restrictions. Safety is a top priority, so I also check for vet info, emergency contacts, and walking preferences. When visiting a home, I follow any feeding, clean-up, and security instructions to keep things running smoothly. Plus, I love keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel at ease while they're away!

A typical day

My day starts with a morning walk, breakfast, and playtime to keep pets happy and engaged. Since I work from home, I provide consistent supervision, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. Afternoons include another walk or play session, followed by downtime. Evenings wrap up with dinner, an evening stroll, and cuddles. I always stick to each pet’s routine, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

Pet care experience

With a strong foundation as a RN, I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate approach to pet care. My experience caring for animals includes providing structured routines, ensuring pets feel safe, and adapting to their individual needs. Whether it’s offering extra attention to senior pets, administering medications, or reinforcing training with puppies. Working from home allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, playtime, and personalized care based on each pet’s personality and energy levels. My background in nursing has honed my ability to stay organized, respond quickly in any situation, and maintain clear communication with pet owners, ensuring they feel at ease while away. Above all, I am passionate about creating a nurturing, loving environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
