Boystown Pup Care!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Karissa Kosman. I am a recent graduate from Columbia College Chicago where I received a BA in musical theatre with a focus in Stage Combat. I grew up surrounded by dogs, owned two, and frequently walked my friend's and neighbor's dogs for over 12 years. I love dogs so so much and I find enjoyment in meeting new dogs, entertaining, and taking care of them. I will take them on walks, feed them, spoil them with treats if the owner allows it, and they will receive tons and tons of cuddles. We will be sure to go on grand adventures through parks and neighborhoods! Your dog will be completely and entirely spoiled and given my utmost attention. They will return happy and refreshed to you! I can't wait to meet my new furry friend! COVID PRECAUTIONS Mask on at all times during pick up and drop off regardless of vaccination status.
Reviews
Great service!! Sent a lot of updates and pictures. Would definitely use her again!
Karissa, was very communicative and Buddy seemed to really enjoy his time with her. I would definitely repeat her for future boardings.
Karissa was easy to work with, easy to schedule around, and even took off work just to be able to watch Kaiser more. Kaiser easily adjusted (the quickest I have ever seen) to her and to her place. I will absolutely go to Karissa again when I'm out of town.
Karissa was AMAZING! She was so sweet with our dog and gave regular updates while we were gone. She truly made sure we continued to feel connected with our pup while we had to be away! Karissa is a top pick!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a two bedroom apartment. They are allowed on our furniture and I walk them often as our space is not perfect for zoomies! That being said, zoomies welcome. I have a roommate who also monitors if need be when I am not around.

Information Karissa K. would like to know about your pet
Are they afraid of anything? Any triggers? Allergies? Favorite treat? Peanut butter okay? Are they active or lazy? What times do you usually walk your dog? What times do you feed your dog? Does your dog bark?
A typical day
I tend to explore the neighborhood or go to parks. If a dog park is nearby and the owner approves, I might take the dog there as well. I usually try and have as much fun as I can with the dog!
