Hi I'm Karissa I've been working with dogs for about 12 years now but have owned dogs my entire life. Myca is our full time daycare girl she has 11 years of experience with dogs. 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. We have a big heart and an even bigger one for dogs. We have worked with dogs with all different kinds of personalities. If you have a shyer dog we are willing to work with them to trust us just as they do you. When your dog is in our care you won't have to worry about anything but if you are a mom or dad are like me I always worry so I will be available by phone text or email the entire time I am caring for your pooch.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 21, 2026

Spy Kids had a great time at Karissa’s! Everyone was kind and wanted to make sure they knew how to take care of Spy Kids well. This was his first time there and they made sure to send updates and let us know how he was doing. Also thankful they were willing to accept the booking same morning! Super easy process and great care. Thank you!

My dog had the time of his life at Karissa's daycare! Everyone who works there was so kind and very responsive. My dog was so thrilled to go back every day and I appreciated that they took such good care of him.

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.

They’re very nice ladies and Z enjoyed his time there, two days, and honestly I think he would have rather me to have left him again for a third day. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others.

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.

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.
