Availability

Since my days are so open and flexible I am able to accommodate almost anything you may need, just ask! Aside from a quick errand here or there, I am home and able to give constant attention while your pet(s) are in my care. I do have crates available if your dog needs to be crated if I need to run somewhere, or I am perfectly comfortable leaving them out to roam and snooze on the couch if that’s what they are used to!

Safety, trust & environment

Aside from the backyard being fenced, I love to go on walks and give all the snuggles! My schedule is very easy to move around and I am not tied to the computer all day, so running to give potty breaks at your home or take your fur baby for a walk is always a task I love to make time for!

The best care for your fur-babies!

Pet care experience

I have many years of experience with dogs and have trained my own dogs my entire life! My experience ranges from small to giant breed dogs and I am comfortable with most any pet! My home has a fenced in backyard with turf grass and lots of toys to play with for your daycare or boarding needs! I also sanitize the toys and yard with a pet safe spray between pets to ensure everyone stays as healthy as possible! If you would like your fur baby to have more exercise than the fenced in yard we can always happily add on a walk to go see the neighborhood sites! I work from home and am free to provide lots of snuggles and playtime with your fur baby throughout the day! My job is very flexible and I also am able to do drop in visits in your own home as often as you may need and can stop by to go on as many walks per day as you wish! I am comfortable giving medications or giving extra care your pet may need! They are in great hands with me and are always treated as if they were my own!

Moose stayed with Karissa again, and it was another great experience. When I picked him up it was clear he had been very well cared for and loved while we were away. He didn’t seem too eager to leave which says it all! Thanks so much for taking such great care of him.

Moose had a fantastic time and honestly didn’t seem too eager to leave—which says a lot! Karissa was incredibly helpful, answering all my questions quickly, being very responsive, flexible, and easy to work with. I really appreciated the great communication and the care she showed. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Thank you so much for taking care of the boys again! I wanted to let you know we could pick them up early today. Is it against the rules that we exchange phone numbers?

Karissa took such wonderful care of our dog, Buddy! From the start, she was kind, communicative, and clearly loves animals. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. Buddy seemed so happy and well cared for when we picked him up — it truly felt like he was well loved the entire time. That means everything to us as pet parents. We’re so grateful for Karissa and would absolutely trust her with Buddy again. Highly recommend!
