Karissa was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog, Luna, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and I really appreciated all of the updates and the many photos she sent throughout Luna’s stay. It was clear that Luna was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, caring, and truly loves animals, I can’t recommend Karissa enough. I’ll definitely be booking with her again, and I highly encourage anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter to use her services. Thank you, Karissa, for taking such wonderful care of Luna!
