I love animals with my whole heart

Pet care experience

Attending Obedience training w/ my dog, understands animal behaviors, grown up/taken care of pets all of my life, love meeting new animals, and giving them TLC. Mondays I have graduate school classes all day, otherwise I am free Tuesday-Friday and willing to also help Saturdays. I already take my dog on a walk everyday, I wouldn't mind helping out other individuals while also getting paid to do so, there are so many benefits for me and the animal/animals owner! I love animals, it depends on my customer but I am willing to give plenty of TLC. I am great at communication, and an honest individual. I acknowledge how much pets mean to us, therefore I'd like to ensure your pet has the sweetest, kindest, friend to hang with while you are away. As I would want the same for my sweet Lily girl.

How have I not reviewed Carissa yet?! She’s been our lifeline since moving to Topeka over the summer. We have 4 animals (a dog, 2 cats, and a chinchilla) and two of our animals are on meds. Carissa does a great job of managing our little zoo! It’s so great to have someone we can trust when we go out of town. Highly recommend!

Carissa was great checking in on my cat during my time away from home, communicating with me each day, taking & sending pics of my sweet girl — who is scared of all humans other than me. Even with my cat’s ever-changing hiding places, Carissa found her each time and spent time with her on my cat’s terms. That’s above and beyond, as she hides under things a lot! I’d definitely hire Carissa again and highly recommend her.

If you’re considering a rover for your pet, pick Carissa! She was super sweet with my cat Coco, gave him plenty of play time and cuddles. My fur baby was in good hands and i received plenty of pictures and videos. Carissa is dependable and attentive :)

Carissa was awesome! She took excellent care of my older cat ( who doesn’t always use the litter box and wears diapers). While I was away I felt I could relax and enjoy my vacation knowing Storm was in good hands. Storm is older with special needs and Carissa cared for her as I would. Carissa respected my home and followed all directions I left to the T and even fed my bearded dragon! I will definitely be hiring Carissa again for any of my pets needs while I’m away!!
