Pet care experience

Dogs are God's precious gift to us

I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. I always had dogs growing up and they are the loves of my life. I adore cats as well. Since being a teenager, I have offered pet care services to friends and neighbors. I have taken care of a wide variety of different kinds of dogs and cats and adjusted to their unique needs. I have a passion for all animals and feel so beyond blessed to be able to spend time in the presence of your angel babies (your pets!). I receive so much joy from playing with them, going on long walks, and petting them. When it comes to animals- I over give! I douse them in my love.

Carissa M has taken great care of my dog Inchy for the past few years. She is always on time and ready to love on my dog. Inchy perks up when she walks into the room and they outside together. Carissa is very honest and I feel comfortable having her in my home overnight.

Carissa is an exceptional, responsible, and truly loving pet caregiver. She brings an incredible, calm energy that instantly puts animals at ease. You can rest easy knowing your pets are in hands that are trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. I recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for the highest quality care on Rover!

Schedule

I work part time online so I have a lot of free time. I am a home body and don't go out. I spend all my time at home and going on walks and being in nature.

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to safety, I take utmost precaution. When I was 5 years old, my precious dog was hit by a car, and that taught me everything I need to know about strict precaution. As a child, I also had another dog that got bit and badly hurt by another dog. So when it comes to walking dogs, I am extremely cautious about contact with other dogs. I usually cross the street when I see a dog coming and I am always prepared to pick up small dogs in case of an altercation. For pet care in my home, my yard is fenced in and perfectly safe. When I house sit for other homes, I take it very seriously to protect the owner's home and dog- keeping doors closed and locked, etc.
