😍 Furry Walks+Visits w/Your 🐶🐾🎾
Pet care experience
I am a passionate dog enthusiast that embraces all walks of canine life – from fosters/rescues to social butterflies, sweet and cuddly to sweet and the...less-stationary 😝. Each pup holds a special place in my heart. Truly. My approach is to treat your doggo (and cat) with love and attention while keeping a watchful eye on their needs. I adjust to each dogs' unique personalities - I've cared for every personality and temperament imaginable. I'm happy to use our walks to help maintain commands you've been working hard to train them on, go for a slow and steady neighborhood stroll, fetch at the park, or even load them up for an hour long local trail walk. Let me know what you and your best friend need! I've lived with and raised dogs my entire life. Fur-sitting dogs and cats for friends/family, all with unique temperaments and needs, has been a large part of my life for well over a decade. I'd love to share my passion for exercise and furries with you and your fuzzball! Let me be your best friend's trusted companion on their daily adventures!
Reviews
Karisa was fantastic! She took such great care of our dog and the house.
Karisa is a thoughtful and intuitive person. Warm and attentive to all special needs and then some. I highly recommend her!!
Karisa, Is a great communicator and a fantastic pet sitter. We used Karisa for watching our finicky indoor/outdoor cat. Karisa was able to quickly win favor with our cat within just a few minutes and a bond was built after just one meet and greet. I highly recommend Karisa for either dog or cat sitting. You will not be disappointed!
My Wife and I had the pleasure of having Karisa watch our two chocolate labs. She was by FAR the best dog sitter we have ever used. From the start her communication exceeded expectations which was huge for us. She came over for a meet and greet and the pups immediately were drawn to her energy and so were we! Very kind, detail oriented and ultimately went above and beyond for our pups. Sent so many updates, photos and videos which allowed for our vacation to be truly relaxing!! I highly recommend her services if you’re looking for someone who will truly love on your pets, is responsible and trustworthy look no further!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Very respectful of others’ homes. I will leave it exactly as I found it (unless a doggo mess was made — then I’ll leave it cleaner than I found it 🥰). I will retrieve your dog for our walks, and place them where you instruct upon our return (i.e. crate, loose in home). Happy to provide feedings/snacks while I’m there.
Information Karisa M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, commands, or need-to-knows that will help make them most comfortable. I have experience with all breeds, ages and needs.
A typical day
Walking your pup in your neighborhood, taking them to the park for fetch, even a local trail for the higher energy pups in need of an hour long energy burn. I’m open and flexible to you and your doggo's needs.

Availability
Fortunate to have the flexibility to create my own schedule with my Reiki wellness business - my business is remote and fluid, giving me the opportunity to be fully present with your pet while you’re away. I'm readily available for dog walks and/or home visits throughout the day, and house sitting is such a pleasure while you’re away and in need of a loving companion + caretaker for your furry family. I genuinely enjoy breaking up my schedule with furry walks and playtime; I can accommodate various time slots to meet your needs. Note: I do offer Pet Reiki services (and human, of course) outside of Rover :) Message if interested.
