Peaceful 🏠 Only 1 dog/time. WFH FT

Pet care experience

Hello! My husband and I would love to welcome your furry family member, into our small family! We have one dog, Daisy, (mixed breed, 11 years old) who is very friendly and playful with dogs of all sizes. We have no children or cats. I am home nearly 100% of the time. I love dogs, I treat them like family. I would be excited to watch your dog in our loving home. We live in Lafayette, Boulder County, CO. Our backyard is fully fenced and has plenty of grass to play in. We live close to many parks, and the gorgeous Coal Creek Trail, which we would walk to on nice days. In our home, your dog would be loved, cared for, played with, and given attention galore... he/she might get a few kisses and slobbers too (some from Daisy and some from me!) We can't wait to meet your dog! About this sitter: 100% dog lover. I am a stay-at-home dog mom and would enjoy the company of your dog too! Why I love dog sitting: I grew up with dogs. I have always been a dog lover, they make the best companions! As an adult, we got Daisy shortly after we got married. We adopted her from the Humane Society of Boulder. We were thrilled to adopt a pet in need and will continue to do this in the future. We continue to support the organization by being involved in the Humane Society Dog Walk-a-Thon and the silent auction/dinner funraiser! About my yard: Our yard is fully fenced, an 8 foot fence so lots of privacy and security. We have a nice grassy area in our backyard to play in. We have a built in dog door, so the dogs can come and go as they please. My experience administering medication: I am comfortable with oral medication as well as simple shots.

We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Karissa! He was so so happy to be running in the backyard with Daisy and playing with the stuffed animals that were there. Karissa even taught him to use the doggie door. Remy was the happiest I’ve seen him in quite a while staying here. Karissa also updated us frequently with cute pictures and texts.

Karissa was great with our dog and sent lots of pictures and daily updates! He came home from his stay with her and seemed happy, relaxed and tired out from all the walks and play time.

I love Karissa and Daisy and Dan! I'm always a little surprised and very happy when Abby, my dog, is happy to see me. I'm pretty sure she'd rather live there.

Karissa is the best! Seriously, she is a wonderful conscientious caregiver. My dog Abby adores her and truly loves going to her house. In addition, Karissa's dog, Daisy, is my dog's very best friend!

We are very flexible and love every dog equally, but overall we prefer dogs that are friendly!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks: Your dog will be joining Daisy and I on our walks around the neighborhood, on the Coal Creek Trail, next to the creek, and to the park! Your dog's sleeping arrangement: We can provide sleeping accommodations that will be most comfortable for the individual dog. We have multiple dog beds, we have blankets, and if you allow the couch is free-game too! Time I'll spend with your dog: I am a stay-at-home wife most of the month. I will be with the dog nearly 100% of the time!
