Karissa watched our dog Cooper when we went away for the weekend, and I was very impressed with her and her care of Cooper. She was amazing with Cooper (he has a ton of energy!), and I highly recommend her! She was great and easy to work with, and Cooper came back happy and well taken care of. We definitely recommend her and would love to use her again!

Karissa has been our primary dog sitter for about 18 months since we adopted our shepherd/husky mix (Violet) as a puppy. Karissa's ability to care for dogs is intuitive and she can immediately match the energy and needs of any pup. I was nervous to leave Violet, especially when she was a puppy, but Karissa helped to reduce my fears by sending frequent photos and updates. Karissa will follow any care instructions, no matter how specific they are. She prioritizes the dog's needs and can meet their exercise demands through walking, running, or playing in the yard. Violet is lucky to have Karissa in her life and they are still best friends!

I think Karissa might love dogs more than she loves most people... All joking aside, Karissa would be my go-to if I still lived in the area. She is a hard-worker, she's incredibly responsible, and she's so fun and easy to be around. I wouldn't have a doubt in the world that you'll love her as much as your dog inevitably will.
