Professional Biologist &Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I have loved and taken care of animals since I was little. Growing up my family had dogs, cats, a rabbit, fish, frogs, and chickens! During high school and undergraduate (Clemson '17) I pet sat for 15+ clients in my neighborhood which included not only dogs and cats but horses, rabbits, home aquariums, and hamsters. I also have experience in dog walking, bathing, and administering medication. I currently have two cats including one I have had since I was 13 years old!

Carissa was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our home with our senior dog for a week & took great care of her. We received lots of updates & communication, which was so much appreciated, as we never had to worry about anything. She was on time, left our house spotless, brought in any packages, & put out the trash bin while we were gone. Would highly recommend & would not hesitate to have her sit for us again!

Carissa was great. Easy to communicate with and flexible. Our dog seemed to enjoy her time with her :) Thank you!

Carissa is amazing! She did an incredible job house sitting and caring for our two dogs! Her communication is outstanding! We received many updates and pictures throughout each day. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our dogs and home in her care!

First time Rover user here. We were worried about our rescue’s first day without us at home. Carissa was a big help! Looking forward to seeing her again soon.

Safety, trust & environment

I will provide your pet with the high quality care they deserve. I believe in being patient and respectful of all animals as they are getting used to a new person. Communication is important to me and I will keep you up to date and send pictures of your pet as often as you would like. When you book me for house sitting that nightly price is the price of me staying at your house with the pets for 75-100% of the day in addition to staying overnight.

Information Carissa A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any care preferences or special needs your pet has! I also can collect your mail and take out garbage/recycling if needed.

A typical day

I will make sure energetic pets get tired out by playing and walks and pets that just want some attention get all the affection they deserve!
