Reviews
Karissa is an energetic, caring person. I always rely on her opinions, observations and follow up for my pups. She is prompt and follows instructions to the tee. Highly recommended! 🐾🐾
Karissa was amazing, my dogs absolutely loved her. She was easy to work with and I will be using her again. Cannot recommend enough.
Karissa is amazing. She had the energy to keep my shepherd pup busy and out of trouble. Both of my dogs seem to think she is their new bestie.
Karissa was great. My 3 yr. old doesn’t like anyone new, and loved her. She was able to handle the 10 mo. old puppy and the 9 yr. old. and my 2 cats. Will be calling her again.
About Karissa H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat anyone’s pets better than my own to insure top care! I am used to intricate feeding/medication schedules for all types of animals. My husband and I rent a house on a cattle ranch. We have a large fenced-in yard away from livestock and our horses. If I come to your home, I will follow any and all expectations and follow-up if something is unclear. I want my visits to be as close to what your pets are used to.
Home
Information Karissa H. would like to know about your pet
Please inform me about any medications, food, odd/quirky behaviors, etc. I will accommodate anything the best I can to insure your pup is the happiest at our house. We have all sized dog crates as well if your pup needs to or prefers to be crated for any reason during the day.
A typical day
Depending on how active the dog is, I will play fetch, go for walks/hikes, swim, etc. I have a few favorite hiking/biking trails in the area that I love! If your dog loves to hike, I have access to 13 miles of trails on the ranch where my husband and I rent as well as a fenced in yard and 4-acre horses pasture to run around in.

Availability
I am self-employed and usually take Thursday-Sunday off. That being said, I can also rearrange my schedule as needed. My pup travels with me for work for the day, so if your pet is able to be crated for half of the day, that wouldn’t be a problem during a work day. If I can stay overnight with my pup and also leave to work during the day (no more than 6 hours usually), I am available any day of the week. My pup comes with me to work.
