We have an entire team that helps provide the best care for your pups! Needs walks? We have Kayleigh who has 5 years experience! We take care of dogs all shapes sizes ages and disabilities. Medication isn't a problem we are fully trained in giving medication whether it's a pill or a injection we can handle it. We have a fully fenced backyard that is completely dog friendly. We are pretty flexible on what we can do for you and your dog. Anything from dog walks, dog park adventures, overnights, nails, basic training,(obedience and leash) or just some cuddles about anything you can think you.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 27, 2026

Our dog Rusty has been going to Karissa‘s every week for a couple of months now. He comes home so happy and gets so excited when we arrive at the home. We couldn’t ask for a better way for Rusty to get socialization and play I would recommend Karissa to anyone with a dog.

Karissa was wonderful in taking care Prongs. She did a great job managing everything and kept me informed every step of the way. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to working with her again on my future trips.

Karissa helped me out in a pinch when I realized I had a long evening ahead and needed care for my 9 mo old puppy. She has a great set up for her pack of dogs, and the ones she sits. My dog is nervous about new dogs at first, and barks for the first few, but she assured me that was no problem, and she eased him in. Within 20 minutes she sent pictures of him getting acquainted with a smile on his face. I felt at ease for my evening plans, and picked up a happy (and tired) pup. Will book again knowing my pup is in good hands for some pack play.

We attended a trunori convention in Dallas for 5 days and its a REALLY big deal for us to leave Luna behind. As empty nester, she's definitely our furbaby. We appreciate getting daily updates and photos. Responses are always timely, even when I am just missing her and checking in. We will absolutely use Karissa again in the future.

Pets

A typical day

The pups are allowed to roam in and outside as they please. If they want to romp around in the back yard then come inside for some cozy cuddles on the couch that’s exactly what they will do! Pups sleep in a crate unless otherwise told they get stressed in crates. We are flexible on this as we understand that some pups might just want to snuggle on the bed.
