Bozeman Pet Sitting

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Karissa and I have close to 20 years in home pet sitting experience. I have a degree in Animal Science, and I know what to pay attention to as far as the health, safety, and well being of your pet. I'm ready to play, exercise and pamper your pet! My goal is to keep your pet happy while you're gone and your house just as you left it. I have worked at two separate dog boarding facilities in the past for a total of 18 years, which has given me an amazing amount of experience. I also work as an all breed dog groomer, and would love to keep your dog looking his/her best while you’re away whether it be a haircut, brush out, bath, or the whole thing! I’m very tidy, and clean and will treat your home like my own. I also love cats, and any other critters you have that need caring for while you’re away, including plants! I have two dogs of my own that I do prefer to bring along with me! Let me know if this is an issue and we can discuss other options! I've been employed working with dogs for the past twelve years, currently as an all breed dog groomer and a volunteer at Heart of the Valley. Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover all my life, started dog sitting when I was a kid, and at 28 years old still loving it! My experience administering medication I can administer all types of medications. I'm good with ear drops/cleaning, eye drops, oral medication and insulin shots! I'm also experienced with cleaning and treating of injuries or other issues your dog may have.

Karissa did an excellent job! She was prompt and sent pictures. One of our puppies got a little sick while we were away and she let us know his status. We have three puppies and a cat so it was very nice to know they were all well taken care of! Would recommend Karissa for your pet care needs!

Karissa did a great job watching my dogs and taking care of our home. She sent pics everyday and kept me updated on home happenings like a power outage. I have a senior dog on medication and a couple hyper young dogs. She made sure everyone was taken care of. We will definitely be giving her a call the next time we need a pet sitter

Karissa came and walked our pup. She was prompt, provided good proactive communication, was very personable and our dog was able to get some much needed exercise. I definitely recommend Karissa as a dog walker.
