About Carissa

Hi,

My name is Carissa and I am a Fur-Mum to my gorgeous Labrador Addison. I absolutely adore my little family including Addison and my boyfriend Sam and I am so blessed she chose me as her Fur-Mum for her fur-ever home.

Collectively, Sam and I have had over 25 years experience living with dogs - both big and little. I know how hard it is to leave Addison behind when Sam and I have to leave town when we can't bring her with us, so we always make sure she is in safe and tender loving care - and I want to offer that service to others.

We also have our own pet photography business, Furry Furtography Studios (check us out on Facebook). Addison is featured on that page as the "Lab"-technician and has some definite management material! I also work for a home community nursing service so am comfortable if your pet has any medical needs.

So enough about me and my family! You want to know more about what I can offer :) I am offering services of coming to your home for:

- walks - take your 4 legged loved one for walks around your local area, or to a dog park of your choice nearby - somewhere where they are familiar. It's hard enough to know Mum and Dad are gone temporarily, so we want to make sure they are as stress free and comfortable as possible in a familiar environment.

- pet/house sitting - I can come to you and ensure all your pets needs are taken care of. Daily water changes, feeding, baths, brushing, walks - even poop patrol! And lots of cuddles!! Almost everything you do at home with your own furry loved one, I can do also while you are gone. (I'm no groomer - so only do basic bathing and brushing etc).

All my services come with daily updates of your furry loved ones sent to you via SMS, email or on Facebook - photos or videos for peace of mind!

I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies.

Carissa (and Sam)

Carissa is a loving caring person and treated my animals as her own. She put my mind at ease with going away knowing my fur babies were looked after. I will have no hesitation at booking her again when I go away. Thank you once again.

Carissa did an absolutely amazing job of taking care of my cats for 5 weeks while I was overseas!!! She sent me regular updates, photos and videos to let me know how they were doing and also went to the extra trouble of keeping the house clean and tidy by vacuuming and taking the bin out for collection each week etc. She even went to the shops for me and bought more cat food when the supply I had left ran out! When I got home from my trip, the house was super clean, my cats were very happy and I could tell they had been well looked after. If you are looking for a trustworthy person to take care of your pets, I would not hesitate to recommend Carissa - she is a lovey person and a true animal lover. Thank you Carissa!!! :-)
