Safety, trust & environment
For drop in visits I am available to check animals 2 or 3 times daily depending on needs. This time will be used to feed and allow animals to use the restroom. I will spend time with them so that they don't feel like they have been left and give whatever form of treat/toys owners have. For Boarding within my home pets will have a separate large room to themselves (or other members of their pet family) including a queen sized bed they are allowed on. I'm home the majority of the time and at least 3 times for a potty break and yard time (often more) frequent stays will be able to mingle with my personal dogs with owners approval. Cats will remain in the guest room with all their amenities to ensure they are safe, comfortable and unable to escape.
Information Karissa B. would like to know about your pet
Are they dog/ cat friendly Up to date on vaccines Good on a leash and what type of harness/collar Are they comfortable in a car Do they have any dietary restrictions or medical issues
A typical day
On a typical day for active dogs we will play in the yard or go in walking trails by the river, take car rides ( if the dog enjoys them) and hang out together at the house. If I have to leave the home for a brief time dogs will have their own room set up to feel like home, toys and treats approved by owner as stimulation until I arrive back home. Dogs that are repeat stays and have done meet and greets with my personal dogs will be able to play in a supervised group with them in the yard. Cats will be cuddled and sat with while doing various things such as reading to them or watching television.

For the past 15 years animals have been my passion I have worked with most every type of Dog and cat. Careers in shelters and work with rescues has given me a wide range of experience to provide the best care possible. My personal pets are very spoiled and yours will be too.
Reviews
Karissa is kind, caring, and always detailed in her notes and communicative about how our pets are doing while we’re away! She’s also good about bringing in mail and packages which gives us peace of mind
We LOVE Karissa. She is attentive and communicative and we trust her with things like trimming our cat’s nails. Karissa is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does, and we love working with her!
Karissa is amazing! So communicative and consistent and our cat loved her visits- we will definitely rebook in the future!
Karissa was super sweet with my cat Ace. He is a diabetic and she was very organized with giving his insulin shots and ensuring he had all of his basic needs met. She also played with him and hung out with him and Ace really enjoyed her company! She went above and beyond to make sure that he was happy and healthy and I was really impressed!
