Carter is a typical Dachshund who barks at a leaf falling from 5 miles away. He is my Velcro pup. Karrisa takes such good care of him in my absence and honestly, I do not trust others to care for him. Karrisa is the dog whisperer and for Carter …. Well it’s a vacation for him as he gets to hang out with his best furry buddies, Cheecha and Gomez! I highly recommend her pet sitting services in her home that is not only safe but fun for the pups.

Karissa is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She came to my house & picked up my three dogs for one of my trips.

I personally know & recommend Karrisa. I have witnessed her kind and caring nature toward pets, including my two dogs. Karrisa is a responsible adult who has years of experience with pet sitting and would provide a loving safe clean “home away from home” for anyone who has to leave their “beloved”pet in the care of someone while they are away.

She will spoil your animals as if they were her own . Will take the dogs on a walk along with her dogs if they enjoy walks . Has a doggy door which helps out in the end .

Pets

A typical day

A typical day in my care is relaxed, active, and full of attention. We start with outdoor time and walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. I have a large, securely fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, sniff, and enjoy nature while being supervised. Throughout the day, your dog will have access to comfortable resting areas, cozy sleeping spots, and plenty of toys for play and enrichment. If approved by you, I enjoy offering healthy treats and snacks as rewards. I believe every dog deserves individual attention, so I make time for affection, belly rubs, brushing, and gentle care. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or simply stay close by, I strive to provide a safe, loving, home-like environment where they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to be treated like family and return home feeling relaxed, cared for, and loved.

Before your dog’s stay, I’d love to learn as much as possible so I can provide the best care and help them feel comfortable. Please let me know about: * Any medications, medical conditions, allergies, or recent injuries. * Your dog’s current vaccination status. * Feeding schedule, food preferences, and any dietary restrictions. * Favorite toys, treats (if allowed), or comfort items such as a blanket or bed from home. * Daily routines, exercise needs, and potty schedule. * Any fears, anxieties, or behaviors I should be aware of, including how your dog gets along with other dogs and people. * Any commands, habits, or special instructions that will help keep your dog happy, safe, and comfortable. The more I know about your furry family member, the more I can make their stay feel like a home away from home. My goal is to provide loving, individualized care so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind.
