Will sit pets with all my love!

Pet care experience

Serious Animal lover! Former nanny/care giver, Americorps certified, caring is what I know best! Lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and animals of all kinds. I will sit your pet with the utter most love, care, and responsibility. Animals have been my number 1 passion all my life, and your pet will be treated as if it were my baby! I Live in a complex with huge beautiful grassy grounds and trees, so your pet will have fun too! I can supply food and treats, and will get their favorites depending on their diet. Although your pet will go for plenty of walks, if your dog isn’t house broken that’s ok too! I have plenty of pee pads, and if they go somewhere els it’s fine, accidents happen! I have a pup-o-pedic dog bed if they like, and plenty of toys. (But of course they’re allowed on the couch or anywhere they like.) I also live right next to a pet supply store, so any necessities will always be close by! (They groom too. drop off and pick up for no additional charge. My dog goes there, they’re wonderful.) And we have Pixy. She loves friends. Her being here for your pets stay is optional, for she has a loving grandma she visits a lot and stays with. So if your dog likes k9 company, she’ll be here! If your dog prefers being with just us, we can accommodate Pixys much loved visit to grandma!

Karissa was a lifesaver! I can't thank her enough. Taffy was running and playing when I went to pick her up...a true sign she was happy and comfortable with Karissa...I will rebook with her for an upcoming trip. I would highly recommend Karissa...she is a true animal lover and excellent care giver

Karissa sat my Mabel for 3 nights. She kept me at ease, sending me pictures and texts of my Mabel multiple times a day. She was very friendly and I can tell she loved my dog from the moment I met her. My dog was never left alone and was even taken to the pet store to pick out treats and toys. I truly appreciate the comfort of knowing my dog was so taken care of while I was away.

Karissa watched my basset hound for 6 days. She was amazing! She sent constant photos of my Eeyore on walks, playing with toys, eating his meals, and napping by her side. I loved the confirmation of his comfort and enjoyment. She bought all his food and even took him to the store to pick out toys And she didn’t accept reimbursement. She was wonderful.
