Your Best Friend's New Best Friend

Growing up, I have been around dogs my entire life. I have lived and cared for all different types of dogs from a German Shepherd to a miniature Dachshund. All shapes, sizes, and ages are welcome. I’ve also raised and have taken care of cats of all ages from bottle babies to senior kitties, I’ve loved and cared for them all! In high school I used to volunteer regularly for the ASPCA and I was the president of their Junior SPCA program in which we did all of the adoption events and volunteer work for the SPCA. I have been around and diligently tried to help all dogs in their four legged walks of life. I also adore cats and am open to helping with cat care. I am mostly signing up on this app to meet new dogs and cats, if we are being honest. Let me be your best friends, best friend. Cats are extremely welcome too! I currently have a dog and two cats myself, and they are my pride and joy. I make sure to take care of all animals with the same care, love, and attention that I give my own animals 🐶🐱

Karissa did a great job dropping in on my 3 cats while I was away. She’s reliable, communicates well and takes good photos. I plan to hire her again and would recommend her to others.

Karissa took great care of our cats. I loved her photos and reports on how they were doing each day. Even our most skiddish cat showed his face to her, which is high praise. ?
