Pet care experience

Excited to help you & your sweetie

I've been around pets my entire life, starting from when I was a young child. I’ve had experience walking, brushing, bathing, feeding, and cleaning up after them. I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel loved! I’m highly responsible, respectful, and reliable, and I usually form strong bonds with animals very quickly.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve been around pets since I was a baby, and they’ve always been a big part of my life. I’ve done everything from walking, brushing, and bathing them, to feeding and cleaning up after them. Taking care of animals is something I truly love, and I enjoy giving them the attention and affection they deserve. When caring for your pets, I’d make sure they’re well-fed, happy, and loved. If it’s okay with you, I’d love to give them a few treats too! I’m responsible, respectful, and reliable, and I tend to bond quickly with animals.

Karissa is amazing! She is very communicative, thoughtful, and caring. Definitely the pet sitter for you! She took great care of my cat while I was away, including giving meds and paying close attention to pain cues.

Our cat Jazzy always has a great time with Karissa. She is very communicative, sends lots of photos, and takes care of things exactly as we would like. Jazzy seems playful and at ease around her, which is great to see!
