Carissa joined us during the pandemic. She has provided both of my dog’s exceptional service and care every single time she visits. My dogs absolutely adore their time with her.  Carissa is professional, attentive, full of positive energy and genuinely cares about my pup’s wellbeing. I receive thoughtful updates, great photos, and clear communication after every visit.

It’s rare to find someone who treats your dogs like their own, but Carissa does exactly that. I trust her completely and recommend her without hesitation.

The peace of mind I get knowing my pups are safe, happy, and loved is priceless. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Carissa is the one.  Five stars isn’t enough, Carissa deserves ten stars. 

We could not have asked for a better person to care for our pets. Carissa has been with our family since Finnie (our golden retriever puppy) was just a few months old, and over that time she played an incredibly meaningful role in his growth and development. She went far beyond basic care — helping reinforce potty training and foundational commands like sit, stay, lay down, and shake, while also teaching him fun skills like high fives, dancing, and running between our legs.

Caring for a young, energetic, large dog isn’t always easy, and Carissa handled every phase with patience, consistency, and genuine love — even on Finnie’s tougher days. She was a steady, trusted presence in his life, and we always knew he was safe, cared for, and understood when he was with her.

She was also wonderful with our cat, Walter, always checking in on him during visits and even bringing in our packages — thoughtful touches that truly showed how much care she put into our home as a whole. Communication was always clear and kind, and it was obvious she treated our pets as if they were her own.

We are endlessly grateful for everything Carissa has done for our family, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

Carissa has been walking our dogs, a husky and a mini Goldendoodle, five days a week for several months. She is consistent, reliable and communicative. She is also very go with the flow – and has been able to adapt to dogs being at different houses, different family members being home, a new baby in the house etc. Our dogs love their time with Carissa and come home happy and well-exercised. We would recommend her to any dog parents looking for someone to help care for their pups!
