Life-long dog owner and lover!
Pet care experience
My family and I have always had dogs, ever since I can remember; currently we have a papillon, but we're also partial to hounds! I love any and all dogs, big or small, and I would one day love an Irish wolfhound, or to rescue a greyhound (but really, I'm not at all picky and want to love on any dog I can). I'm a college student looking to combine my love of going on walks by myself with my love for any and all dogs, while earning some money as well. In addition to being in school I work retail, and would be beyond glad to walk your dogs (and give them some loving, while I'm at it!) on my days and evenings off.
Reviews
Ever since I rescued my dog, Karissa has been so sweet and supportive of him. She has over a decade of pet experience herself, and she shows my dog so much affection (she's "Aunt Karissa" now!). She's also great with cats - my sister has a rambunctious kitten and Karissa is great at socializing her and giving her all the attention she needs. The kitty - Ruth - is very demanding but Karissa is patient, loving and gentle with her - that's the perfect mix of traits for a pet sitter.
I have known Karissa for around a year and a half, and in that time, I've gotten to know her as an animal lover of all sorts. She's mature and responsible, so you could feel good knowing your furbabies are well taken care of! Karissa knows my super stubborn but sweet pittie, Chewie, and I feel safe knowing he's with her. He can be a handful sometimes, but I know she's able to handle him which is a huge relief. I'd definitely recommend her for your pet sitting or walking needs!
Karissa has looked after my two fur babies when she has come to stay with me, and they absolutely love her. One of the things that makes me and Karissa such great friends is our love for animals - it's something that's absolutely clear even when she's just talking about critters. My dogs are my precious little babies, they are like my children, and I trust her with them completely! She handles their bratty moments like a pro (they are undeniably a little spoiled) and they even like to sneak out of bed with me and go snuggle with her instead when she comes to visit me. She is fantastic with all sorts of animals, and you couldn't ask for a better buddy and caretaker for yours!
Karissa likes dogs. Dogs like Karissa. Karissa likes walking. Dogs like walking. Dogs like walking with Karissa. Karissa isn't a dog, though. But she is a dog caretaker and friend (and a good one, too).
