Here, Let Me Help!

Hi, I’m Karissa — a lifelong animal lover with a calm, reliable presence and a genuine passion for helping pets feel safe, understood, and cared for. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs structure, gentle reassurance, or just a fun companion for the day, I show up with patience, consistency, and a lot of heart. My goal is simple: to give your pet the same level of comfort and security they feel at home, and to give you total peace of mind while you’re away!

Safety, trust & environment

Animals are the principals of our world. They teach us to live our lives! There is no leash tugging from me, consistent phone use, leave poop on the ground going on here. My walks and check ins are safe, reliable and fun with all animals.

Karissa was absolutely amazing and took great care of my pups especially on such short notice. One of my dogs is a little shy and warmed right up to her. She’s a great communicator and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Karissa did a great job checking in on our cat while we were away. I loved the photos and videos she sent via the app. Thank you, Karissa!

Karissa was available short notice to look after my pups when I was in a bind. She went above and beyond for them! She send photos and timely updates as well as ensured they got some exercise. I would definitely recommend and have her stop by again!

Doggy Day Care • janv. 23, 2020

Karissa was super flexible and accommodating as my pet sitter. My 1-year-old energetic pup had a great time playing with Karissas dog Nara and Karissa was incredibly understanding towards some of his puppy like tendencies. She provided a calm, safe environment, a fenced in backyard and plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day. Would definitely recommend Karissa for any sort of dog sitting.

We were super lucky to find Karissa to check in on our kitties. She came each day, cleaned their area, sent us pictures and listed everything she did. This is our first Rover experience and are so glad we found her to check on our sweet girls. Thank you Karissa, we hope all the best for you on your upcoming travels. Kevin and Lisa
