This was the first time Carissa sat for me. She came over a few days in advance to meet with the animals and I was able to go over some information with her. Carissa did a great job with Blaire and Lucy. I was not home when she arrived and she immediately sent me pictures to let me know she was at the house. Throughout her stay she updated me on how things were going, sent additional pictures and advised me when she left. The animals were content and happy when I got home later that day. I would not hesitate to ask Carissa to sit for us again.

Carissa took such good care of our fur baby when we were gone for 5+ days on vacation. We hate leaving her and she normally travels with us so it was hard. Carissa sent timely updates and left the house spotless, I would highly recommend her to anyone. 6 out of 5 stars if I could leave that review. Ask her about her pet portraits, they are amazing and she should be making that an option as part of her services :)

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
