Got puppies?

Pet care experience

I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up helping my Aunt run her grooming business. I am also volunteer for a local animal shelter and take puppies that need some extra TLC or socialization when needed. I am a buisness owner and work from home. So the animals are never alone for long periods! I am avery flexible with rides and I love taking dogs for a car rides. I am very accommodating with anything. We have a fenced in yard a dog park right up the street and we also have a park very close to us. Our only pet is a bearded dragon so no other animals to worry about your pet will get the spotlight! We have had dogs and cats in the passed but unfortunately have passed. We love to go hiking and hang out in the back yard.

Karissa and her family watched Marley for about a week. We had peace of mind knowing that Marley was at a home and was safe. We would definitely ask Karissa to watch our dog again next time we have to go away!

Karissa took great care of our 9 year old lab. We had never left her before with anyone but relatives. She even texted pictures of her. I would definitely use Karissa again.
