Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Karissa, and I've been an animal lover ever since I was a little girl. Growing up, my parents ran a pet shop, so I had the pleasure of being surrounded by all sorts of critters. Because of this upbringing, I've had the joy of caring for a wide range of animals, getting to know their unique needs and keeping them healthy and happy. In my own little family, we currently have three sweet cats and a playful puppy who's just six months old. We live in the lovely countryside near Festus, with a whole acre of land securely fenced for our furry pals to explore. We even have a pool, and you can trust us when we say we take pool safety seriously! We love a good game of fetch or tug of war and have been really getting into positive reinforcement training. Our puppy is even learning how to use buttons to "speak". :) I've got a soft spot for every cat and dog out there, and I'd be thrilled to look after your precious babies whenever you need a hand. I can either host them at my place or swing by your home to check in on them. Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I can absolutely understand the importance of trust when it comes to finding the right pet sitter. So, let me assure you, I'm a dedicated and reliable professional. I'll treat your furry friends like they're part of my own family, following their routines and taking care of any special medications or dietary needs they may have. I can't wait to hear from you and meet your adorable pets! Feel free to reach out anytime.

Karrisa was wonderful with my three dogs. She has a huge fenced in yard. She kept me up to date including pictures. I was very satisfied and confident with her watching my precious pets. I highly recommend Karrisa.

Karissa was amazing. Stayed in touch and you can tell she’s an animal lover through and through. Wouldn’t use anyone else

Karissa is my dream dog-sitter. She took such good care of my baby while I was gone. She was so accommodating and the photos & messages about my pup while I was away were perfectly timed and eased all my anxiety of leaving her with someone new. She also gave my pup her medication twice a day, which is an additional item for her to do, and she handled it with no problem. Highly recommend Karissa and her amazing family!

Information Karissa B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has certain aversions or triggers to specific stimuli, and or special dietary needs. I'm looking forward to meeting your baby and taking care of them as though they are family!

A typical day

I know that our own puppy behaves his best when he is not only physically but also mentally stimulated, I love learning tricks and brain games from Rachel Fusaro on YouTube and I have lick mats, snuffle mats and slow feed bowls. I'm happy to take your dog on "sniff safaris" to let them explore new sights and smells or just let them roam around our big backyard.
