Experienced and Loving Care

Pet care experience

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 very 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 can do walks or drop-in visits before work in the morning (before noon), and after work (after 6 or 7pm) on weekdays. On weekends I am available before 12pm and after 2pm, so practically all day. 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 1 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 you're fur baby will feel right at home.

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.

Absolutely outstanding! My 4 large dogs are not always the easiest to handle but they warmed up to her very quickly, definitely going to request again for next outing !

Information Karissa H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know temperament ahead of time, as well as any behavioral issues. These will not deter me from caring from your pet, but they are important to know. Any existing health problems or medical needs should be discussed so that I can be on the lookout for any possible problems. I do NOT discriminate against any breeds. All pets welcome! I do require that your pet be up to date with vaccines, especially rabies. If borading in my home I ask that they be current with flea and tick prevention.

A typical day

I enjoy relaxing and cuddling with pets on my day off. But when it's time use up some energy, I have a large fenced backyard perfect for fetch, frolicking, 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 taking my dogs to restaurants with pet friendly patios.
