All I want is PUPPY LOVE!

Pet care experience

Hello! At our puppy palace your pup will be treated with a kind and loving firmness which represents respect for your family member. Our pets eat a healthy scheduled breakfast and dinner; with a few treats throughout the day if well behaved! I am available at all hours of the day, my boyfriend works from home as well and is a great playmate for the dogs! We have a spacious well kept home (surprisingly!), and a fenced backyard with grass! Your pup will receive its very own dog bed and be treated like a member of OUR family while visiting! We absolutely admire spending our day with the doggies and its our pleasure to include yours in our daily routine! Plenty of walks and loving all around!

Long story short, Karissa was super friendly and awesome to my pup! As for the long story, I had Karissa watch my pup Lilly when she was going through a phase of needing extra care everyday - medicine, special diet, and extra time spent with her. Karissa had no problem helping out with all of her needs. I received pictures and status updates on Lilly everyday which was awesome to know she was in good hands! Not to mention a nice place to mingle with a couple other pups and stretch her legs in their big yard. I will definitely be looking to Karissa again the next time I need a sitter. 5/5 would recommend!

Karissa is super awesome to deal with and I trust her with dog every time! Harley always enjoys herself at Karissa’s place and she keeps me updated with pictures, etc. she is also very flexible with pick-up and drop-off and very responsive via the messaging app. Her dogs get along great with other dogs so it is nice that Haley can go to a place and have dog buds for the duration of her stay.

Karissa was amazing! She took wonderful care of our baby boy and he really enjoyed his stay with her. I hate leaving him and was super nervous, but she was so incredibly understanding and made sure I had photo and video updates multiple times each day. I would wholeheartedly recommend her, you can tell that she loves animals and really takes extra special care of them when they stay with her. She is also terrific with nervous moms like myself! :)

Information Karissa F. would like to know about your pet

The only restriction I have would be an aggressive dog, please make sure your animals are kind and comfortable around strangers and new animals. Our home is very welcoming and our pups will welcome yours with open and loving paws! Please bring their dog food and their leash with and any special instructions for your pup! Anything that I should know to make the dog feel more comfortable is always good information as well! If there are any specific training techniques you would like me to continue practicing while you are away, please feel free to inform me.

A typical day

Depending on how long the stay, I will take the dogs on two 30 minute walks after breakfast and before dinner! Sometimes our walks turn into runs, and sometimes they turn into fetch in the park! All dogs are different, I'm pretty good and figuring out what makes a dog...bark! LOL. There will be plenty of rolling around in the grass and if your pup is a special one, they are more than welcome to take a swim in our backyard pool! With your permission, I will also take the pups on a fun trip to the dog park if the weather permits.
