Safety, trust & environment
I tend to stick to the instructions provided as to keep a normal routine for your pet. For a first time visit, I will get aquainted with your pet and offer a treat if allowed. I will send photos of your pet when I arrive and leave to offer some peace of mind. For walks, I will take your dog on a stroll around the neighborhood so they can let out some energy and use the restroom, followed by a treat after returning home. Drop-ins are similar where the pet will be taken outside for the restroom if needed and have some playtime to let out some energy. For pet sitting jobs, I tend to ask more questions about your pet to get a better understanding of their needs as well as anything else that will need taken care of such as collecting the mail, or watering plants. No matter the species, each visit will include playing, treats, and lots of pets! When entering or leaving your home, I ensure that the key is placed in the correct spot (to prevent lockouts!) after locking to keep your pet and home safe.
Information Karissa E. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if you dog is reactive to anything such as loud noises or other animals. I like to make sure every pet I care for is as comfortable as possible, even with a stranger.
A typical day
I love taking long walks with dogs and letting them burn off extra energy and exploring the neighborhood. A good game of fetch won't ever be overlooked either! For cats, I like to play with wand toys to see their wild side, or for more reserved friends, some extra pets and cuddles.

Pet care experience
Hi there! I have been a pet sitter since I was 14, with multi-species experience including: dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, fish, turtles, and rabbits. I am a life long pet owner as well. I am in my 4th year of studying Animal Behavior, which feeds my interest in enrichment and proper welfare for all animals. I have experience with: • oral medication administration • pets with anxiety • grooming and nail trimming (*depends on your pet's temperament) • enrichment I am available for drop-in visits, walks, or pet-sittings. ***I do not offer boarding due to my own pet for the safety of all pets involved!

Reviews
Our dog, Dax, is about as difficult as they come. He has endless energy, jumps on everyone, has accidents in the house if you’re not paying attention, will chew up just about anything he can get his mouth on, tries to chase every squirrel, rabbit, and person he sees, and he’s a serious flight risk if a door is left open. Somehow, Karissa handled all of it without missing a beat. She was patient, calm, and completely dependable, even with a dog that constantly tests your patience. She kept us updated, genuinely cared about his well-being, and treated him like her own. If she can handle Dax, she can handle any dog. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
