Carissa was amazing. Our dog spent the entire day with her playing and relaxing with Carissa s dogs. She sent us constant updates on our dogs day and made us feel really comfortable with our first Wag experience. She even sent us home with our pups favorite toy! We will 100% be reaching out to Carissa again.

Carissa goes above and beyond. Even when she was dealing with a very difficult personal matter, she kept her commitment and took great care of our beloved pooch. I can t say enough about her care and dedication.

Carissa spoils our dog every time. We love her updates and photos when we are away.

Carissa took excellent care of my dog, Benji, in her home while we were away for a weekend. She took him out for several adventures and spent tons of time with him. Benji is super energetic and mischievous so not many people handle him as well as Carissa does. she even cooked for him when he got an upset stomach! Your dog will be in the best of hands with her!
