A carer willing to do what it takes

Pet care experience

Hi there, here are the things you would like about me as a caregiver for your pet. First, I have been surrounded by animals for the entirety of my life from turtles to dogs. I was always the child that had to take care of every animal I saw, which meant there was never a moment we did not have an animal of some sort in our home. This being said it should be obvious that I have a very warm place in my heart for animals and my most beloved of them all has and always will be dogs. The second one is I have a tiny bit of veterinarian science knowledge. Not enough to be a vet or even an assistant, some were learned from studying in school most, however, was from real life experience. I have delivered countless litters of puppies, kittens, and in doing so saved either the babies lives or their mothers from problematic labor. I saved a dog from drowning, and I am quick to respond in any situation. I don't see dogs as animals but people as well and very much count my two babies as family. I like to do things on a schedule to ensure that my dogs are fed, when caring for your pet I would do the same. I have no problems with following strict regimens because I myself have one for mine and my own. I feel it prevents forgetfulness and ensures the happiness and health of pets.love to walk which means walking multiple times a day with your fur baby wouldn't bother me in the least bit. I promise that you will be leaving your dog in good care and they will return to you with happy wagging tails.

It took me awhile to right this review but I thought I should share my experience with Klarissa. On the first day of her sitting I couldn’t get a hold of her and had to send a coworker to see if the dogs were okay. She was there but she said she was asleep. Since it took 4 hours to find her I didn’t know if the dogs were feed or had their potty break. My dogs were not comfortable with her because the girls did not eat and my boy dog was also left in his belly belts which were soaked when I came home. The carpet down stairs was covered in pee and the area in the garage that they can use when I’m not home had poop every where. Their outside area only had the poop from the day I left them so I’m guessing she did not take them out. I wasn’t going to write this review because I’m sure Klarissa needs the work and maybe it was my dogs she didn’t like (even though I had her come out and meet them before I booked her), but I was very upset during my trip and when I got home. My pets are my family and I expect for them to be treated with care. I think others looking to use her need to make sure she is a good fit.

Brodie took to Karissa from the very first moment. She was very professional and I knew he'd be in good hands. She sent a photo update every day so I could see he was doing well. It was nice to come home to a clean house as I left it and a well-kept-for dog who got to snuggle.

Karissa is awesome! Our dogs can be a handful and they were taken great care of! She frequently sent us pictures of them while we were gone on a 3 day trip, and we came home to some happy dogs.

Information Karissa W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog has any boundaries or safety nets before sitting them. The normal things if they don't like to be scratched I'd like to make sure I don't do it. If they are trained to nip instead of lick just give me a forewarning to be prepared. Does not bother me, but if I expect I will know they are not meaning to be hostile.
