Thanks for your extra attention to Lizzie. She seems fine the last couple days. My plants look great too, appreciate you getting them through those hot days! Take care.

Carissa does a great job always. She kept my kitties safe and loved while I was on vacation. Having Carissa around lets me relax on vacation and know my pets will be good. I will use her again and again.

Carissa was so great at sending me updates and pictures while I was away. I felt more at ease leaving my sweet girl in her hands. I would rebook again!

Definitely went above and beyond to fix garage door so I could get back in my house after returning from a long vacation after the cold snap locked up the key pad!! Nice breakthrough with Lizzie and we have the proof of her in your arms. Dexie annd Lizzie are fat and happy and getting lots of cuddles. Thanks again!!

Schedule

My services include either boarding in my house (up to 2 small dogs or 1 large/giant dog) or drop-ins at your house. Drop in care- I am able to provide for cats/dogs, and all other small animals. To board in my home, a meet and greet will be required.

Safety, trust & environment

Our house is a split level home (2 stories), occupied by my husband, our 16-year-old son, our 8-year-old son and our dog, Watson. We always attempt to mimic your routine to the best of our ability, following any house rules you have and practicing the same commands practiced at your house. We do request a kennel at drop off. We understand that while your pet may not require a crate when alone at home we do require one for their own safety if we leave our house. A new environment always welcomes curious minds.

Pets

A typical day

All animals in our care will enjoy leashed walks either around your neighborhood. We also enjoy games of fetch in our backyard. If they’re not running around outside, your babies will be spoiled with treats and soft couches inside. (Unless otherwise noted).

I always like to know about a dogs temperment. What are they okay with? What should I avoid doing? What are their favorite activities? How do they like to be greeted? Are they capable of jumping a 4ft chain link fence? Are they prone to running? Have they or are they currently crate training?
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.
