Pet care experience
Full Time Fully Insured Sitter 🐾
Hi!! Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my profile and for considering me to care for your pets! :) ─────────────────── I am insured by my own private insurance, PCI (Pet Care Insurance), as well as the Rover Guarantee. I pet sit full time (best job ever, I know!), so I am able to give your animals the time and attention they deserve. I will treat your pets as if they are my own. I have a Siberian Husky (Hiccup) and a Yellow Lab (Buster). I adopted Hiccup at 8 weeks old, so I have extensive experience caring for a puppy. I rescued Buster from White Paws German Shepherd Rescue when he was around 1 year old. Buster used to have severe separation anxiety, so I have experience dealing with that as well. I have been around animals my whole life. My family had 2 Black Labs (Bismark + Trademark), a Yellow Lab (Buck), and several kitties. Although I currently have 2 big dogs, the rest of my family are very much kitty people! I frequently pet sit for my sister’s 3 adorable cats. Oakley and Flea (brother and sister), and Spunky (a senior tabby she rescued from Oshkosh Humane Society. ─────────────────── Leaving your pets can already be nerve-racking. With house sitting, keeping them home and in a familiar place will make all the difference! I love to be active, so I’m open to lots of exercise and play time! ─────────────────── With new clients, I will require a meet and greet before accepting a booking request. A meet and greet is a visit in your home, typically around 30 min long. This one time visit is provided at no additional cost and is meant to make sure we are all a good fit.

Safety, trust & environment
I offer house sitting and drop ins at the clients home, as well as walks. House sitting is great because, although your pets are with a new person, they are still in the comfort of their own home. And because of this, there are no additional stressors like other cats or dogs. It is incredibly important to me that you and your animals are comfortable and feel safe, that is my top priority. I will do frequent check ins with you if needed, if you prefer limited check ins, that is perfectly acceptable as well! I know the scary feeling of having to leave my dogs with a sitter, and I can assure you that I will do everything I can to make you and your pets feel at ease.
Ratings and reviews
Carissa is so awesome! She provided our dogs with the best care. She took time to come and hang out with our dogs before our vacation to get to know them. Carissa was very professional and took her job very seriously. She sent detailed updates on how our dogs were doing while we were on vacation for 7 days. She sent us lots of pictures of our fur babies. Carissa exceeded our expectations. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our girls were in good hands. We highly recommend her and will definitely rebook with her in the future.
Carissa is the best sitter you could ask for! She is attentive and takes the best care of our cat!
Carissa took great care of Scarlet for us while we were away for a weekend camping. She played with her and tired her out. She also took her for long walks. Best of all, Scarlet got to be home in her comfortable place with all her toys and Carissa came and stayed with her. I would absolutely ask Carissa to housesit Scarlet again! We were able to really relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that she was in good hands. Carissa also sent us plenty of pictures so we could see how happy Scarlet was. 😊
This was the first time we had a pet sitter for our dog that is deaf and anxious without his people. In addition we have another dog and two cats. Carissa frequently communicated with us and texted pictures to assure us that all was well. The pets were clearly relaxed and content when we arrived home. We would highly recommend her.
So happy we found Carissa, she handles everything so well and our fur babies love her ❤️
This is the 1st time I used Rover an Im so lucky I did. Carissa G was our dog sitter for my 2 dogs. Had meet an greet with her she was very professional and personable. We went over all my dogs meds for my dogs our 10 an 12 yrs old. I ask if we could do another meet an greet so I felt ok with all there needs again she was awesome. So I was ready to leave them in her hands. Every day I got pictures of them eating, taken there meds, playing outside an even there walks (an she takes great pictures). I call her once just to chat an see how everything was going an she was right on it. An a side note she even water my outside plants an feed the birds. My house was exactly how I left it I could telldogs were excited to see me but they were so relax an not I'm stressed out.. I can't express enough how grateful I am for Carissa..

Schedule
I am a full time pet sitter, so my schedule is incredibly flexible in terms of how much one on one time I can provide your pets. With house sitting, I will typically stay at your house from evening until morning. The timing is dependent on what your pets are used to. If they are used to being home alone from 9AM-5PM, then that is the schedule I will follow. Despite being full time, I need to leave daily for a minimum of 4 hours to run errands, care for other clients, and care for my dogs. We can discuss specifics and expectations at the meet and greet. In certain circumstances (Mon-Thurs), I can provide 24/7 constant care for an additional cost. If you are interested in this service, please reach out and let me know that is what you need. I am not always able to accommodate this.

- Please let me know if there’s any important info that will be beneficial for me to know before caring for your pet! For example; their feeding schedule, if they’re reactive, or if they require any medication. No amount of information is “too much”. I love to know all the details and all of their little quirks.
