Pet care experience

Fun-Loving Responible Caring

Hi pet parents! 🐾 I’ve got plenty of love, energy, and snuggles to share with your furry family while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, endless games of fetch, cozy cuddle sessions, or just making sure dinner is served right on time, I’ll keep tails wagging and purrs going strong. I’ve cared for pups big and small—from Yorkies to Beagles to German Shepherds to Mastiffs—and I adore cats of all personalities, from shy lap cats to curious mischief-makers. No matter their style, I’ll match their vibe and keep them happy, entertained, and well-loved. You’ll come home to a pet that’s safe, cared for, and maybe just a little spoiled (in the best way!). Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend(s)! 🐶🐱 Details: 📍 Massapequa Park, NY 🚭 Non-smoker 🚗 Reliable transportation 💻 Work-from-home schedule during the week

I care for your pets in their favorite place—their home—so they can stick to their usual routine while you’re away. Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to match their personality and needs. My mission is simple: lots of love, reliable service, and total peace of mind for you!

What a pleasure it was meeting Karissa to care for our pup! She left us updated every day and shared what she was doing on each visit! Can't thank her enough for making our trip stress free! Will definitely contact her for future vacations! Gia also thanks you Karissa for taking care of her every need!! Thanks!?
