Hiya! My name is Charissa. I am the owner and CEO of two
business', Pawsome Pals Pet Care and Rebellious Beauty, an art and apparel
business. I work on my own time from my laptop and sketchbook, meaning I am
fully flexible and able to work choosing my own hours, including being able to
work from any location.
I love travelling, and spend my year between Dorset, Cambridgeshire
and South Wales.
I have an entire lifetime of pet care, including owning my
own, caring for family members pets and working professionally through
different websites caring for others around the country.
My experience covers pets from dogs, including many
different breeds, from Alaskan Malamutes, Huskies, a variety of Terriers,
Collies, Spaniels, and many more. I have experience with all ages, ranging from
a newborn puppy to a very senior dog on its last legs, also experience with
dogs raised from puppy to dogs severely traumatized and rehomed. Cats, ranging
from outdoor and indoor, Maine Coons to Miniatures. Reptiles such as Burmese
Pythons, to an array of Tarantulas. Fish of all kinds, fresh, tropical and salt
water. I also have experience with an array of small mammals such as Rabbits,
Degus etc, also birds such as Cockatoos to Budgies.
I have done smaller forms of training such as a working with
dogs’ course, which includes behaviour, breed and welfare.
I have also been a house sitter for family members, and neighbours
since I was a teenager. I have moved around the country a fair few times, which
means I am comfortable travelling and staying away from home regularly.
I pride myself on being an energetic, yet laid back
individual, meaning I love to keep myself busy throughout the day whilst
maintaining a calm attitude, which can be very helpful when it comes to taking
care of pets that may be more on the nervous side and suffer from separation
anxiety etc.
I also pride myself on being an exceptionally clean and tidy
person, I enjoy cleaning, so you can always be rest assured your home will be
kept in the best condition.
Being an energetic person means I love going for long walks
and being out and about, which means any dog walks I go on tend to extend for a
longer amount of time, I especially love being out in nature, so forestry,
nature reserves, beach walks are a popular choice of mine.
Being able to work remotely and flexibly, means that while
working, I can take frequent breaks to care and play with your pets, I love a
good cuddle in the evenings for some downtime too, your pets would be my top
priority whilst staying and caring for them!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message

Charissa is lovely, just what we were looking for. We had an ‘extra’ for the booking as my mother in law had recently had surgery so we had her little dog too, this made the sit a little more complex as the ‘guest’ dog and one of my own dogs didn’t always see eye to eye, so we kept them apart for everyone’s comfort. This didn’t phase Charissa at all, she was very conscientious and left the house perfectly clean and tidy. All dogs happy and we are so grateful we found someone for the long term sits - we can finally go away more relaxed! Happy to recommend 😁
