A Gen Z Girl With A Lotta Energy

Hi there! My name is Khariss, and I’m a recent Howard University graduate. I have a passion for multimedia storytelling, but I also have a natural love for pet care. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and unique health needs. Growing up, I was always the person every dog gravitated toward. Even the shy ones trusted me. My childhood dog, Elsie, an Olde English Bulldogge, was my shadow. As she got older, I took on the responsibility of giving her medication, cleaning her eyes, and making sure she stayed comfortable and well cared for. Leaving for college was tough because I knew how much attention she needed. My family did a great job, but I understood the level of care required to truly support a dog’s well-being. That experience shaped the way I approach every pet I look after. I treat them with the same patience, love, and attention I gave Elsie. As a caregiver, my goal is to meet each dog where they are. I pay close attention to their personality, needs, and energy level. My family recently adopted two Aussie Doodle puppies, so I am very familiar with high-energy dogs and can definitely keep up. I would love the chance to care for your fur baby and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I provide walks and drop ins. I care for pets in home by giving fresh water, food when needed, playtime, and a solid walk. I also keep the routine consistent to what your baby is accustomed to, and make sure they each get focused attention and care.

House Sitting • Apr 21, 2026

Khariss was incredible, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was available for a last-minute dog watch, and from the start, communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful, which gave me real peace of mind. She genuinely cares about making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. My dog can be a little particular, but Khariss handled everything with patience and attention to detail. She kept me updated with photos and messages, so I never felt the need to check in. When I got back, my dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well taken care of, which says everything. I would trust Khariss again without hesitation and highly recommend her.

Khariss is an incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive young woman with a lifelong love for dogs. From an early age, she has shown a natural connection with animals, always treating them with kindness, patience, and genuine affection. Over the years, Khariss has cared for several dogs, each with their own personalities and needs. She helped look after, our Old English Bulldoge, and raised our Bichon Frise from the time she was five years old. Later, she welcomed her third dog, another Old English Bulldogge continuing to show the same deep level of love and responsibility. Even now, while she is away at school, her commitment to the dogs she loves has never changed. She regularly calls to check on them Smokey and Dusty, making sure they are doing well. Whenever she comes home, she goes out of her way to spoil them—taking them on walks, bathing them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. Khariss doesn’t just see dogs as pets—she treats them as family. She is protective, reliable, and intuitive when it comes to understanding their needs, whether that means exercise, care, or companionship. As a rover and dog walker, Khariss brings not only experience, but genuine passion. Any dog in her care will be treated with the same love and dedication she has always shown at home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly devoted to animals.

Pet care fits into my daily schedule incredibly well! I am available before noon Monday through Friday and after 7p. I’m also very flexible on weekends and can adjust to what your dog needs. I always make sure to communicate well in advance if I have any changes.

I’m open to caring for any dog, regardless of breed, size, or age. If you could share a bit about your dog’s personality and behavior, that would help me tailor my approach to what they enjoy most. I always aim to keep your dog comfortable and avoid anything that might make them feel uneasy.
