Safety, trust & environment

Upon our first meeting, I will make sure to go through a detailed list of questions such as are they kenneled when unsupervised, are they allowed treats, are they walked or just let outside, what their personality is like, likes/dislikes, etc. I tailor each visit to the individual home and needs of the pet, ensuring the utmost safety possible every visit.

Information Carissa C. would like to know about your pet

I always like to get a detailed rundown of their personality, as well as their routine-routines are important! Some examples are how do they do on leash? Around other pets? With new people? If they stay in the yard, are they escape artists? I always do what I can to be one step ahead every time

A typical day

Every pet is different! I will find what toys/activities each likes and try to make sure they are stimulated while we are together. From walks, playtime inside or out, or any other activities part of their routine, we will make it work!

Pet care experience

Hi! I have owned dogs all my life, ranging in sizes from 3lb chihuahua to 150lb Great Danes! I have been offering pet sitting for 15 years, and I also have 6 years experience in the field of vet med. I am familiar with all kinds of personalities, and I also am comfortable with giving medications (oral and injections). I find it so fun to connect with each pet, and learn their personalities and quirks!

Carissa was a very knowledgeable professional sitter. She shared pics and information about the dogs on a regular basis. She kept us informed about how they were doing and they seemed very happy. We appreciate everything she did. We will be calling her everything we need a sitter. The dogs also seemed to love her and we're happy with her services.

We had an amazing experience with our Rover sitter while they cared for our two dogs, Cooter and Caroline. From the very beginning, communication was excellent — we felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were in such caring and capable hands. Cooter and Caroline each had their own personalities and routines, and our sitter took the time to understand their needs, ensuring they both felt comfortable and loved while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us real peace of mind and made it clear our dogs were happy and well cared for. When we returned, both dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly well looked after. It’s obvious our sitter truly loves animals and treats them like family. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter.

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.
