Does your dog tend to pull on the leash while walking? I have difficulty managing dogs that exhibit this behavior, due to a physical limitation

Pet care experience

- Hey there! I’ve been taking care of friends' and neighbors' dogs for 13 years & on rover for 2.5 years. I absolutely love it! I don’t have a dog of my own, so looking after furry pals is super fulfilling for me! I enjoy walks, playtime, and just hanging out with the pups. Each dog has their own vibe, and I’m all about making them feel comfy and happy. - I provide a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all clients and their pets. **PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT STAY IN APARTMENT BUILDINGS; HOUSES ONLY.** - Let’s connect, and I can’t wait to meet your baby! 🐾

Carissa was great! She watched our dog, Jerry, who deals with some anxiety from storms and loud noises. There were some unexpected fireworks in the area and she handled our dog's anxiety well! She understood all the instructions and sent multiple daily check-in pictures. Very grateful for her care and will book her again if our schedules align!

If you struggle with anxiety like me over your pets, book Carissa. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the moment we left, we had complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were safe, loved, and genuinely cared for. She went above and beyond in every way, keeping us updated, paying attention to every little detail, and treating our dogs like her own family. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive!! When we came home, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored their time with her. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets. And she picked up our mail!!! She is amazing!!!

Carissa is great! She took amazing care of Milo and even helped get him to his next stay during my extended time away.

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.
