Veternarian Technician

Hi there I am Carissa! I am a Veterinarian Technician. I own 3 cats and 2 dogs. I love being outdoors in nature. I am a firm believer in staying active and healthy and try to live my life by these standards. I believe animals are amazing additions to homes that deserve the same care and attention as we give our other family members. I would love to be able to help care for others peoples fur babies and leave them assured their animal is in good hands.

Carissa was phenomenal. We are always nervous leaving our dogs with someone new and Carissa went above and beyond, allowing us to completely enjoy our vacation.

Carissa was absolutely amazing! She walked my dogs twice a day for an entire week, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She was incredibly responsive the whole time, always communicating promptly and keeping me updated. One of my dogs needed medication during the week, and Carissa handled it perfectly — she was careful, reliable, and made the whole process completely stress-free. Most importantly, she was so kind and gentle with both of my dogs. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I will definitely be booking with Carissa again!

Carissa, thank you so much for going above and beyond to care for our fur babies! It’s clear how much love and attention you gave them, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the little updates you shared to making sure every detail of their routine was handled, you truly gave us peace of mind while we were away. We can’t thank you enough for treating them like your own, and we’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future!

Carissa has watched our dog twice and she did an excellent job visiting & walking her as well as communicating with us. She was patient and perceptive and eventually won our aloof dog over. This greatly eased our minds while we were away!

Carissa helped ease my mind when we left our senior kitty and his two younger siblings for almost 2 weeks. Definitely the longest time I’ve left them. I enjoyed the pics and updates during her visits and how friendly she was. Her experience as a vet tech made me very confident in my decision to go with Carissa.

Every dog or cat has their own personality just like humans. Always just let me know any behavior things about your pet ahead of time.
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.
