Fun, Energetic Pet Sitter!

Pet care experience

I have years of experience of caring for a multitude of animals including cats, dogs, turtles, fish, and rabbits. I have had the pleasure of caring for senior dogs up to the age of 16 and special needs dogs who need very specific feeding schedules, medication administered by mouth and insulin injections. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and I am open to giving each animal what it needs because, let's be honest, animals are just as unique as their owners. The Rover App is a way for me to spend time with animals again after both of our senior dogs passed in the last two years. I am excited for the opportunity to provide a safe, fun and engaging place for your pet. I will be fully available to care for your pet on days that we have scheduled. Your pet is the priority and will be treated as such. I like to care for animals in the way that they are accustomed. I will follow the guidelines set by each pet owner. I have access to dog parks, trails, and a comfortable home that will be available to each animal.

Our dog, Piper, had a most wonderful time staying with and being cared for Carissa and her partner. Carissa was very loving and attentive to all of our dogs needs including ones I had not planed for (Piper has longer nails and she broke two before we delivered her to Carissa unbeknownst to us; Carissa spotted her broken nails and was so kind/thoughtful and clipped them for us so Piper was not uncomfortable). We received a photo of Piper enjoying herself each day we were away (sometimes twice). Piper stayed with Carissa for 6 days and we are sure loved them all. She was happy to see her humans when we returned but had clearly enjoyed being spoiled by Carissa while we were gone. We will be repreat customers for sure! Thank you for loving our pup so much Carissa!

My pups had a great time!!! Carissa and her husband were fabulous and sent great pics of all of their adventures! Hot Dawg looked like was getting very spoiled and loved on. Definitely put me at ease knowing he was having as much fun on his vacation as I was on mine! Will definitely be using them again.

I used Carissa’s dog daycare services over the course of a couple of days while visiting Tennessee and it was great to have a reliable place to drop him off when needed. Carissa was flexible about drop off and pick up times which was so helpful to me, and my dog had a great time each day! Carissa sent regular updates and photos about their walks and playtime throughout the day. She was also very well prepared on one of the days when I forgot to bring my dog’s bag of stuff, and another day she helped him finish some breakfast that he didn’t want before we dropped him off, so she’s ready for anything! I definitely recommend Carissa as a sitter, my dog was so happy with his visits!

Information Carissa W. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what is best for your pet. How do they interact on walks/around other animals/around new people? Do they have special needs? How can I make their experience the best experience for them. Do they have a monthly flea/tick/heartworm treatment? Are they potty trained?

A typical day

There will be walks, outside activities (hiking, fetch), relaxation. It depends on what your dog needs due to differing needs depending on age, preference etc. I have time for most anything.
