Safety, trust & environment

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!

Information Karissa R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or quirks—I’m happy to adjust my care to fit them. I have experience caring for a variety of pets, from Yorkies, Beagles, German Shepherds, and Mastiffs to cats of all personalities. You can count on me to provide loving, reliable care so you come home to a happy, well-cared-for furry friend!

A typical day

When I’m with your pets, it’s all about keeping them happy and engaged! For dogs, that might mean walks around the neighborhood, games of fetch, tug-of-war, or just plenty of belly rubs and snuggle time. For cats, it could be playtime with toys, chasing the laser pointer, puzzle feeders, brushing, or simply curling up together if they’re the cuddly type. Every pet is different, so I’ll match their personality—whether they’re energetic, playful, or prefer cozy companionship. 🐾

Pet care experience

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

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!?
