Pet care experience

I got my first dog when I was 4 years old and have ever since had dogs in my life. Whether mine, friends, or finding fur mates to walk and puppy sit. I love to travel so don’t have any of my own but wherever I go I make sure I have a running/ walking/ snuggle bud close by. I have cared for puppies, small dogs, elderly dogs, and very large dogs whom needed extra care. I’ve administered ear and allergy medication and my best friend is a Veterinarian so she has always been very helpful with any questions I’ve had. I’ve cared for cats as well. I’ve lived with 4 different cats and have watched 2 others but have never had one of my own. I enjoy running, hikes, and walks on the beach so it’s always nice to have a buddy to have tag along. I enjoy throwing the ball and I love teaching dogs new tricks! I’m very patient and persistent so I have done well with training if I’ve had quality time with them. I really love animals and getting paid to hang out with them is literally a dream. I would love to care for your pet and make a new friend ☺️.

Karissa is great ! She took care of my French Bulldog , Jerry while I was working a long shift. She sent plenty of pictures to let me know he was cared for. Very good communication. Thank you, Karissa !

Karissa did a great job taking care of Zak and Zanna. Kept I touch sending pictures everyday and they were so happy. I had no worries while I was gone. Came hone and it looks better then when I left! I would recommend Karissa for your pets you will not have to worry while they are in her care

Karissa took AMAZING care of my baby while we were away. He had GI issues the whole time and she shopped, cooked for him and suggested remedies!!! She was so attentive and her communication was outstanding sending updates and pics several times a day. I would HIGHLY recommend her!!!

Karissa watched my puppy Rogelio for two weeks and was an absolute dream! She followed our feeding schedule and made sure he didn’t go outside since he hasn’t had all of his shots yet. She took him to a vet appointment and was very thorough in filling in me on everything that was said. Rogelio loves his auntie Karissa and is looking forward to the next visit with her as I will certainly be booking her any time I have to leave island. She was very good about keeping up with his training as well which was very important to us. I have no doubt that you and your pups will love Karissa as much as we do!
