Pet care experience

For the love of pets of every kind!

I've lived with and cared for animals ever since I was old enough to walk and talk, mostly dogs. In recent years I've gained some training experience from having trained my own three dogs, one of which I had for over 18 years.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, I cannot house any other animal in my home due to space and the pets I already have, but I am more than happy to stay over with your pet! I bring my own suitcase of food and supplies usually follow a feeding/walking schedule set by you, the client. Any additional rules and or stipulations I will be sure to follow with upmost respect!

Karissa is amazing! I highly recommend her. She sent me plenty of pictures, updated me and kept my home clean. I will be hiring her again in future.

Karissa was so great with Leo! She was on time and took great care of him. We couldn’t have asked for any better! We will definitely use her every time we are out of town.

Karissa has watched my animals for about a year now. She is able to spend the night at my house to take care of both my home and my fur babies while I am away she feeds them breakfast and dinner each day, provides them plenty of play, and gives them cuddles and love while I am away. I come home to a clean house each time and happy babies. My only recommendation is more pictures and updates of how they are doing while I am away so I can see my babies faces.

Of course, the most important things for me to know beforehand are behaviors, such as wether or not your pet will destroy any property while I'm not looking, and friendliness towards other people and dogs. I need to know of any regular or semi-regular medications needed, any extra equipment your pet may need when going outside (like a muzzle), and simply any specific rules about handling and interacting with them.
