Information Carissa O. would like to know about your pet

Prior to walking your dog or caring for your cat, I’d like to understand their temperament, typical behavior and if they are ok with other animals and children. Would prefer leash-trained dogs.

Walks all over the neighborhood, getting all the sniffs in. If wanted, I will happily accommodate for a puppy play date, including fetch in my yard, along with zoomies with our friendly labs. (Only upon request).

Woof Walks & Kitty Cuddles

Pet care experience

I’ve been a pet owner my whole life and a pet sitter since I was 10 years old and have loved every minute of it! I love dogs, big and small, old and young. I also love to hang with cats and other critters - they’re all so fun! I’m reliable, punctual and ever-so-loving of your precious pet. My dog, Goose is an 9 year old fox red Labrador retriever and loves to share his space with critters of all kinds. We recently added another lab puppy to our home, Marla Pooch. She’s happy and rambunctious and very similar to Goose in her big-heartedness. I also have two young boys who love to help love on animals (gently). If you want someone you can trust to take care of your fur baby like they’re her own, book me! I will make sure your baby is happy, healthy and has fun! We have a large fenced in yard for zoomies and fetch and love to walk all over the neighborhood to explore and sniff! I am comfortable with training, giving medication and providing consistency for your pet. Happy to take your pet on walks and/or play dates or to do a puppy or cat visit as needed.

As always, Carissa took wonderful care of our puppy! We never worry about Sucia with her, and Sucia is so happy at the end of the day. Communications were clear and helpful. Will book again!

Carissa helped support pet drop ins for a long weekend. She was super responsive and our 3 cats adapted to her really quickly. One of our cats is a senior gentleman who needs medication in his food and everything went smoothly. Would absolutely leverage Carissa for pet support!

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.
