Pet care experience

Trusted In-Home Pet Care

I have 5 years of professional pet care experience, but my love for animals started long before that—growing up in the Midwest, I was surrounded by pets from the time I was 8. From dogs and cats to small animals, I’ve spent years learning how to care for them with patience, attention, and compassion. Whether it’s daily routines, special needs, or just being a steady, calming presence, I bring both experience and heart to every home I enter.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe the safest, most comfortable place for your pet is right at home. That’s why I offer in-home care—so your pet can stay in their familiar environment, surrounded by their routines, smells, and favorite spots. I treat your home with respect and your pet with the same love and attention I’d give my own.

Carissa was absolutely amazing! She was responsible, respectful, and took wonderful care of both my home and my dog while I was away on an eight-day camping trip. I came home to a clean and organized house, swept floors, and all of my plants healthy and well-watered. Most importantly, my dog was happy, calm, and completely relaxed when I returned, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Carissa took great care of him and treated my home with respect. I would absolutely trust her to house-sit again and highly recommend her!

Carissa did a great job taking care of my dog and cat while I was away! She was communicative throughout my trip, which gave me peace of mind. Both of my pets seemed happy and well cared for when I returned, and my apartment was left just as I had left it. I really appreciated having someone reliable to care for both my pets and my home while I was gone.

Carissa is amazing and super sweet! She took such good care of my dog Bodhi while we were away. They went on so many walks and she left our house so clean! She's great with communication and sends the cutest pictures. I will definitely be booking with her again

I want to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for just like you would. Feel free to share anything that helps me get to know them better—daily routines, quirks, favorite toys, any medications, or things that make them anxious. The more I know, the better I can care for them!
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.
