Carissa

Hi! I am Carissa, an Australian who has just landed in the Netherlands! With over 10 years of experience in dog walking and dog training back in Australia, I am passionate about providing exceptional care and exercise for dogs of all breeds and ages.

I am a dedicated and knowledgeable dog trainer and walker, and my love for animals drives me to ensure they receive the best possible care. I have worked with puppies, elderly dogs, and everything in between, tailoring my approach to meet each dog's unique needs. My experience also extends to caring for cats and smaller domestic pets like guinea pigs and birds. I primarily use positive reinforcement when training and when generally interacting with all animals!

Growing up, I took great care of my own pets, which included dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. I am house proud, always ensuring I tidy up and leave spaces better than I found them. My responsibilities have included walking and training dogs, feeding, cleaning & bathing, administering medications, and engaging pets in fun, stimulating activities. Additionally, I am experienced in house sitting tasks such as watering plants, collecting mail, cleaning up after myself, and maintaining a respectful, friendly demeanor with neighbors.

I am independent, well-traveled, friendly, reliable and trustworthy. With my extensive experience and genuine love for animals, you can rest assured that your pets will be in great hands.
