Animal lover and friend

Pet care experience

I have been looking after my roommate’s and friend’s dogs for the past 6 years and they were the ones who suggested I sign up for Rover. I have always loved animals and dogs so why not help others out who need it. I love taking dogs on long walks, to the parks and playing with them! They truly are a man’s best friend. I am very active so I don’t mind the very long walks or the endless minutes of playing. I have taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes and I show the same love and affection for every one of them. I will keep you updated on all activities and give all my attention to your pet. I will not neglect or mistreat any animal. My only warning is I have many friends who love dogs and may try to take them for themselves...

Carissa was simply phenomenal! She treated our pup as if he was her own. She spent a ton of quality time with him and asked a lot of good questions to ensure she was providing the appropriate level of care.

Carissa is amazing! She watched my dog, Leo, for a few nights over the 4th of July holiday. Carissa was very transparent with me about her schedule which I appreciated. She was great at giving me updates throughout the day and sending lots of pictures! I felt at ease knowing my pup was in good hands and I didn't feel worried at all. I will absolutely use Carissa again when I need a dog sitter, she is awesome!

Carissa watched our two pups for two nights and was great. Lots of updates and photos and they both were in great spirits when we picked them up at the end of the weekend. Would 110% recommend her!

Carissa is first and foremost an incredible person. As soon as she walks in the door, she brightens the room and makes it a better day. She is incredibly optimistic and that rubs off on the people, and pets she is around. She is a dog lover, and has always been there to take care of our Portuguese water dog, Penny, whenever we need her to. She is dependable, loving, and an overall joy to be around. I cannot recommend her highly enough to take care of your furry friends!
