Availability

I am available anytime after 6pm up to late at night, if needed Thursday-Monday. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I am off from work, so I am fully available! When I am available I can give pets the time, attention, and care they need without rushing. I make sure they feel loved and cared for throughout the day. I like to say yes to pets that are in Kapolei/Ewa area for easier commute. I have a morning job, but when I’m with your fur baby I’m full attention to them!

Safety, trust & environment

When pets are in my care, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I keep a calm, pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and be themselves. Whether your pet needs cozy naps, playtime, or lots of snuggles, I match their energy and needs. I follow your routines as closely as possible!! feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and even bedtime rituals. I keep water fresh, treats on hand (if allowed!), and I’m always happy to give updates throughout the day. If your pet is used to a crate, they’re welcome to bring it for comfort. If they’re free roamers, that works too! I just ask for any info you can give me (favorite toys, quirks, routines) so I can make their stay feel like home away from home. - I don’t have pets of my own, so your fur baby gets my full attention - I keep floors clean and free of anything chewable or unsafe -fenced backyard

Information Kerissa F. would like to know about your pet

I look forward to learning as much as possible as I can about your pet! Knowing ahead of time is super helpful so I can give the best care for them. Things like their routines, quirks, favorite toys, and any medical needs or triggers are super helpful. Are they shy around new people? Do they get along with other dogs? Any allergies or medications? The more I know, the more I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home with me. Every pet is unique, and I want to meet them where they are.

A typical day

When I am watching pets, I like to make sure they’re having just as much fun as they would with their own family! Whether it’s tossing a ball at the park, going on sniff-filled walks around the neighborhood (lots of trees around me for them to explore) or just cozying up for belly rubs and cuddle time!! I like to adjust my activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. If they love playing fetch, we’ll be out there until they’re happily tired. If they’re more of a couch potato, we’ll enjoy some lowkey hangout time together. I love making every visit feel like a mini adventure for the pets I care for!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Kerissa!! Im the kind of person who will stop mid-conversation to say hi to a passing dog (no shame 😄). Whether your pet is playful, shy, snuggly, or sassy, I treat every animal like family! I’m excited to be apart of this community and see all the different pets as well as their personalities! I’m all about creating comfort and consistency while you’re away. I will follow your routines, send regular photo/video updates (because I know you miss them!), and make sure your pet gets all the love, attention, and playtime they deserve. Let me know your pet’s quirks, favorite toys, or anything else that helps them feel safe!! I’m happy to go the extra mile. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby!

I just had Kerissa watch my dog, Kahlua, and she was amazing! Kahlua is 18 years old, blind, deaf, and still super active, so she can be a handful, especially in a new place. Kerissa took such great care of her—she even gave Kahlua multiple baths. It was clear she really paid attention to Kahlua's needs while she was there. Kahlua loves to roam around, and Kerissa was right there with her, making sure she was safe and happy. What I loved most was how communicative Kerissa was. She kept me updated on everything—when Kahlua ate, when she slept, and sent me tons of cute pics and videos. It was so reassuring to see Kahlua having a great time! Thanks, Kerissa, for taking such good care of Kahlua!!
