Home away from home!

Pet care experience

Welcome to Pup Paradise! Your dog(s) will be treated like royalty during their stay. Our home is a peaceful retreat with plenty of space to roam and play! We live on a small lake and would be happy to take them for a swim or boat ride. We can also take a walk around the neighborhood or go for a hike on nearby trails. Your pup deserves a vacation too! My golden retriever loves to play with dogs, but is very respectful and gentle with older and small dogs. I also have an older small dog who loves to hang around and nap all day. My two cats get along well with dogs and have the basement to themselves. In addition to caring for my own pets throughout my life, I worked for a pet daycare and kennel for four years while in college. I have experience working with various breeds and ages (puppy to senior). I also occasionally work at my sister’s dog grooming salon. I work from home during the week, and can spoil your pup throughout the day for daycare. My dog would be happy to have a playmate! I am also available for boarding during the week and weekends. I have a fenced backyard with plenty of room for fetch. My golden retriever loves to play other dogs, he also very gentle with small and older dogs. Your pup will have free roam of the house, unless you’d like them to be crated.

Karissa has taken care of my fur kids multiple times now. I have a few senior dogs and she is very patient and gentle with them. My kitties hide from most people but they were out wanting pets from her. When we arrive back home after our trip, everyone seems so calm and happy not stressed at all ❤️ I highly recommend using Karissa to take great care of your fur kids!!

Karissa has watched our 2 dogs before and they were very well cared for. She treats our pups as if they were her own! I would definitely recommend her.

I have known Karissa for several years and absolutely trust her with my dogs! She is caring, compassionate, and trust-worthy! Your doggo(s) will be in great hands which can be an anxiety trigger for me when I have to travel or am gone for any period of time and need someone to watch them. I 100% trust Karissa.
