6+ Years Experience: Flexible Care!

Hi there! I am currently a nursing student with 6 years of experience caring for pets of all types. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, so I can accommodate last-minute bookings, long walks, or extra playtime with your furry friend! Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or a safe place to relax, I am here to make sure they are well taken care of. I have had a variety of pets growing up and I have cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I am comfortable with fur, scales, and feathers, and I enjoy both high-energy and more laid-back companions. I am reliable, patient, and passionate about making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and safe while you are away. Looking forward to meeting your pet soon!

Karissa did a great job with our dogs. One is an elderly dog that can’t see or hear very well and has separation anxiety. She handled his issues perfectly!

Karissa was super easy to coordinate with, did everything we asked, provided plenty of pictures, and gave Luna lots of pets and love in our absence. Would definitely recommend her!

She was awesome! Super friendly, kept me updated the whole time, and sent so many cute pics of the babies. They were clearly in good hands and loved all the attention. Definitely would book again!
