Loving them like they’re mine
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was pretty young. I got asked to house sit quite a bit and would also have animals come to my house to watch them. I did dog grooming off and on and I used to work as a certified veterinary assistant and was training to do more veterinary technician work. I was also at that time level 3 fear free certified, meaning understanding dogs and cats fear, anxiety, and stress levels and what I can do to help alleviate that. I was at that time going to school to earn my A.A.S degree in veterinary technology. When I had my first son, I decided to stay home. I now have 3 kids and still stay home full time. I know it can be stressful to board your dogs at boarding facilities that’s why I want to help people out by watching their dogs in my home either as overnight stays or as a “doggie daycare” type thing for during the day, when you work long hours and don’t want to leave your dog home alone all day and I want people to rest assure their dogs are being well taken care of while you’re away. I can also do drop ins too. I have 3 dogs of my own and a cat as well as two fun loving toddlers and a baby. They have all been around animals since birth. My dogs love to play and chase each other around. My cat loves being around dogs too. Trust me when you’re dog is here with me, they won’t be bored. A tired dog is a happy dog. I will also be offering grooming services such as baths, blow outs with a forced air dryer (really helps get that undercoat out), trimming with scissors or snap on combs, or complete shave downs. I can also do nail trims and more! Just ask me for more details!

Information Karissa S. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if your dogs - get along well with other dogs and cats - if they have a prey drive meaning do they like to fast fast moving things - do they get along with kids? - if they have any food allergies? - any likes or dislikes. I want your dogs to feel comfortable here and I want to put your mind at ease. I will make those necessary accommodations for your dog’s needs. I will love them and treat them like they are mine.
A typical day
I have a lot of dog toys and I like to give them a lot of mental and physical stimulation by making delicious kong treat recipes, playing fetch, having all of the dogs run around in the back yard, and doing some basic commands with treats. This is a great neighborhood for dog walks and theres a lot of scents they can smell. I have very active kids so there is a lot of activity indoors and outdoors. When we’re tired we like to chill on the couch and watch some tv.
