Loving, safe and secure!

Hi I’m Carissa and I would love to take care of your dog! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have been surrounded by a very dog orientated family (in fact, two of my siblings are vets). Because of this, I know that dogs are more than just a pet, but a member of the family. I also know that each dog is unique in their own way, just like humans. I think having this mindset is key when looking after them. I am on Rover because I genuinely love dogs; and giving them love and care brings me so much joy. I have a cocker spaniel back home in the countryside and I miss her dearly. Now living in London, I have not been getting my very needed dog time!! I have recently moved to this area of the city so I’m very much looking forward to meeting the pups of my neighbourhood as all of my past customers are too far away now.

Carissa was so great with George! He had the best time with her. She was extremely communicative, sent a lot of pictures and updates on how he was doing while I was traveling! This was George’s first stay with Carissa but definitely won’t be his last. I feel so lucky to have found Carissa and know George is in extremely great hands when he’s with her!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 02, 2026

Carissa welcomed my dog with a big smile and he immediately started wagging his tail. He went right up with her to her flat. She walked him a couple of times. When we arrived Our dog was relaxed, and ready to go home and sleep. I am also grateful to Carissa for accepting my request with 2 days notice. I would definitely book Carissa again.

Carissa took wonderful care of Mookie! Instantly making him feel at ease in her home and keeping him happy with lots of walks and affection. She is also super responsive with me, asked great questions, and kept me up to date, making the whole process a breeze. Delighted to have found her through Rover.

Everything was amazing! Even though it was my puppy’s first time staying with someone new, the experience couldn’t have been better. I received lots of photos and updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommended! Thanks for everything Carissa!

Doggy Day Care • May 18, 2026

Carissa did a great job again, she sent lots of photos of Jesse having a bawl of a time in the park. It’s always impossible trying to get out all of Jesse’s energy (a very crazy cocker spaniel) but after the day with Carissa she came back very relaxed. Carissa is also very easy to speak to and was accommodating when i had a last minute change of plans. Will be booking again soon. Thanks so much!

Carissa was absolutely amazing with our Russell boy! She was super friendly, easy to talk to, and made us feel really at ease. She gave us regular updates and photos, and it was clear Russell was having the best time with her. We’re so grateful for the love and care she gave him, and we’ll definitely reach out to her again next time we need someone. Couldn’t recommend her more, thank you so much, Carissa! 🐾💛

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a flat just 5 minutes from Hyde park, making it super easy to give your dog fresh air and exercise. It's always a great time in the park and I love walking myself (so l wouldn't mind a furry friend joining me)!

A typical day

I like to spend long hours in the park, it is my favourite thing to do! If not that, relaxing at home with the company of a dog is always a pleasure. I'll take it at their pace. I only care for one dog at a time, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog will receive my full attention.
