Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced and Loving Care
I am an animal lover who will enjoy giving your beloved fur babies exceptional and loving care. I have been a veterinary nurse for many years and have done pet-sitting as well, so I am experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to dogs, cats, and other pets. I am able to befriend even the most nervous and shy dogs with a calm, patient, and friendly demeanor. I am able to administer medications and handle special needs cases. I will quickly pick up on and handle any problems that may arise with your beloved pets. Walks and playtime are important, as well as cuddles if your fur baby is up to it. I'll always give updates on how they are doing. I can also perform additional services such as bathing, nail trims, and ear cleaning. I currently have 3 dogs who love to play. I also occassionally like to foster dogs in my home, but I always make sure they are healthy and friendly. They have full run of the house and very large fenced backyard. If a crate is needed, I have 2 small and 2 large crates set up in my "animal room." That is where I keep my small pets and pet supplies. I have many durable dog toys and beds around the house. I'm sure your fur baby will feel right at home.

Great with the pets. Very communicative just great all the way round.
Thank you Karissa for taking care of my pets during my out-of-town trip this past weekend. I really appreciate and admire the care you provided them, your attention to detail, daily updates with photos, and thoughtfulness throughout the period. And thanks to Rover.com as well for the excellent service and updates on the account throughout the period as well. Best wishes to all. Rudy
Thank you. You are the best as always. Martha S
Great as always. Thank you
I have left my dog with Karissa now many times. Luna, my dog, loves going to her house and has a lot of fun with the other animals…. I will continue to have Karissa watch Luna anytime I am out of town.

I can do walks or drop-in visits before work in the morning (before 7:30am), and after work (after 6 or 7pm) on weekdays. On weekends, I am available practically all day, so I'm available for boarding, daycare, etc.

A typical day
I enjoy relaxing and cuddling with pets on my day off. But when it's time to use up some energy, I have a large fenced backyard perfect for fetch, zoomies, and potty breaks. I live in a quiet, dog friendly neighborhood that's great for walks. I am not far from Bill Schupp and Edinburg Municipal Parks. I also enjoy occasionally taking my dogs to restaurants with pet friendly patios.
