About: I’ve always loved being around animals. My family has two pets, and I’ve helped care for my friends’ and family’s pets whenever they travel or have busy schedules. I enjoy walking, feeding, playing with, and making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I’ll care for your pet like they’re part of my own family.

About: Growing up there’s always been animals apart of my family. I’ve been responsible for dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and snake's! I always enjoy getting to know new animals, and learning what works best for them. I’m currently a full-time student and mom which normally limits my pet care to Tuesdays & Thursdays 8:30am-2pm. Additional care can be scheduled on Saturdays if needed. For dog walks, I prioritize safety by checking leashes, matching your dog’s pace, and keeping them hydrated. After the walk, I wipe paws and refill their water. For check ins, I follow your routine for feeding, medication if needed, and potty breaks, leaving plenty of time for play and cuddles. During every service, I ensure your home is secure and will send a detailed Rover report card with photos and updates so you always know your dog is safe and happy!

I look forward to meeting your fur baby soon! I currently am in between jobs, and have an enormous amount of free time both during the week and on weekends. I have a 9 year old mutt named Oogi, and we live in the garage apartment of my parents’ home, with a fenced-in, full acre yard. I strive to provide the best care possible for anyone’s pet, ensuring that they have peace of mind while they are away. I am very adamant about keeping a schedule and routine while your pets are in my care. This includes frequent potty breaks, a strict feeding schedule, and plenty of time for treats, walks and playtime in between. I am also very experienced with giving medications and attending to the needs of each pet individually.

She gets along well with other pets and I am always contemplating if I should get a second dog. I love all pets no matter the size or breed. I often watch my friends’ dogs when they are out of town. I live in a great location where I can take them out to the trails across my apartment and everyday after work I take my dog to a nearby park to get her energy out! I also work from home and if I ever need to go into the office I am two minutes away! I have a work from home job! I only go into the office one week every month and I live 2 minutes away from my office that I would walk home and take the dogs out if I decide to take any jobs that in-office week. On a typical day I get up at 4 am and I’ll take the dogs out before I head to the gym and then again when I get back before I start my work. Though if there is a need for a dog to go outside I’m able to leave my desk at any time to take them out. I have a small fur baby who loves other dogs! I will also be home all day to care and play with your pet, we also have plenty of toys here.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lavon
Karissa and her helper were absolutely amazing! They were so loving and attentive with all of my animals, and talking with them honestly felt like talking with friends. I reached out pretty last minute, and Karissa never once made me feel like I was inconveniencing her. She was incredibly accommodating and made the entire experience easy and stress-free. She sent me daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. I was genuinely excited to finally find someone I feel like I can trust with both my home and my animals. Karissa is amazing, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy. I will absolutely be using her again!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lavon is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lavon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
