Carissa was an amazing host for our dog Cooper. She was great at communicating, sending us updates about our dog including pictures. Our dog Cooper had a blast with her dog Judge.

Lennox always seems happy after his stays with Carissa and Judge and leaps out of the car as soon as we get to her house to see her and his best buddy! It’s comforting to know that he looks forward to the stays and feels comfortable going there - one less thing to worry about while traveling…..

Carissa has been great with our Hozzi! Her communication and care have both been great!

Our usual sitters were booked, so we used Rover for the first time and I’m so grateful we found Carissa! She watched our Hozzi for a week and we were very happy with everything. From our meet and greet with her and her Great Dane, Judge, it was clear she knows her way around dogs. Judge is simply amazing and I feel was such a good reflection on her. She was great to communicate with, made sure she knew any specifics, and sent frequent updates. Hozzi seemed to love his stay and we will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!

Carissa is my “go to” person for Lennox. She and her dog, Judge, and family kept him entertained and comfortable while I was away for a few days. Despite a thunderstorm, which sometimes creates some anxiety for him, my dog was peaceful and relaxed with her.
