Availability

I am a stay at home mom, wife and full time student at GCU. My days are filled with being a mom taxi, volunteering at schools, hanging with my own pets and studying. I'm pretty flexible during the week. Even more flexible if I can bring a kid or two along when needed!

Information Carissa E. would like to know about your pet

Are they kid friendly? Are they barkers? Are they territorial around others or your other pets? I want to know every detail so that I can make your pet's experience the most comfortable for them!

A typical day

I love playing fetch or tug of war with pups! Most importantly I just like to see your pets enjoying themselves, doing the things they love whether it be running in a field or cuddling up for belly scratches. As for cats.. I let them fully take the lead and always make sure their food and water is sufficient.

Carissa and her family were so sweet! I left my 12 week old puppy with them, and he had the greatest time! She always kept me updated on how my pup was doing. She is such a loving caring person. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Carissa was so great! She got us in at the last minute, was very responsive, and she sent us several updates and photos while our pup was there! I could tell he had lots of fun playing with Carissa’s pets and family and that he was well taken care of while we were away!

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.
