Pet care experience

Greetings! My name is CarMa, and I look forward to getting to know you and your fur babies. I helped raise and train several different breeds of my own as well as my family’s, neighbors’, and friends’ of all ages, sizes and temperaments before working for a highly recommended local pet care company for a year and a half with my 8 year old daughter under my wing as a prophetical animal whisperer. They love to listen to her and make us so proud when they learn and grow as we take them to hiking trails, parks, and beaches in between their usual routine.

Carissa has been so great. She super flexible and helps us wherever she can. We are very grateful that she is here to take such good care of our Porter.

Carissa provided great service. She walked my Labrador 3 times/week for an hour each time. She walked my dog for about 6 months while I was having some health issues. I recommend her highly. She was great with my dog and he loved her, yet she was also strict with him as needed.

Safety, trust & environment

When we are out I keep dogs on leash unless owners clarify when and where they may play off leash safely. I check to see if doors are closed and locked, if trash and things like cleaning supplies, etc... are taken out or placed where they aren’t accessible, that water is filled... if any dogs I am caring for/around during walks are leash aggressive I cross to the other end of the street or shorten the leash and bring the dog behind a parked car until the other dog(s) and their owner pass. Otherwise, I always ask if their babies are friendly before allowing them to say hi. We really look forward to setting up meet and greets to show you for yourselves and love on your babies whenever you are away. We are so grateful for these opportunities to bond with so many different wonderful families as their dog aunties and continue learning. You will be guaranteed the peace of mind that your babies will be in good hands.

Information Carissa R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your babies have any allergies, quirks to let you know they need something in particular, how they do with their surroundings in terms of other dogs, other people, contraptions with wheels zooming nearby like scooters, etc...

A typical day

I love trying to find hiking trails, beaches or parks nearby that I can alternate between the normal route clients usually take. I am versed in training with different commands and techniques, and will love to play tug of war, fetch, or whatever you prefer to play with your baby.

If your pup like most has understandably regressed in terms of socialization due to quarantining and your are looking for an option for more intensive playtime, we are definitely the family to reach out to as our rescued Husky would love to meet your babies as well! So lucky that he is surprisingly quite docile and calm for a 2 year old. At the same time though, when Jack is egged on everyone can have a real ball! Jack especially loves to entertain puppy energy. I have plenty of availability for visits, walks and overnight pet sitting as I work part time and can easily request dates off as needed to ensure quality time and attention is being given to your babies. If this is your first time booking with Rover, please feel free to use my personal PROMO CODE: CARM76382 for a 20% discount!
