Pet care experience

Pills, Injections, Feathers, Scales

Pet sitting anywhere between Beau Rivage and Fort Fisher. I've only been on Rover since 2022, but I started dog sitting in high school and have continued pet sitting ever since. I joined Rover because I moved here from a different state so I needed to build clientel from scratch. I've worked with dogs, cats, fish, snakes, lizards, turtles, bunnies, and birds. I am happy to work with any pet, but I have a special passion for babysitting pets with health issues (because it has been hard for me to find an experienced sitter for my own). I have experience working with senior pets, blind and deaf dogs, diabetic dogs, dogs who experience tremors, and more. I've worked with cats with kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. I have regularly given eye drops, oral pills, insulin injections, lactated ringers subcutaneous injections, and transdermal creams as needed. Allow me to offer you and your pets a worry-free and enjoyable experience while you travel.

Safety, trust & environment

I am vaccinated for Covid and will take care to limit germ exposure. I always leave my client's home as clean as I find it and do my best to be as unintrusive as possible. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. While walking pets, I am always vigilant to ensure that they are safe from enviro. conditions, vehicles, trash, and other pets and people that may be on our route. Also, I am familiar with pet CPR, but have fortunately never had to perform it.

Karissa did a great job with my kitties. I could tell from the pictures that they were happy and relaxed. And she even fed my fish, which was an afterthought on my part. Will definitely use her again!

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. Also let me know your pet's house rules (Pets allowed on furniture? Post-walk paw wiping protocol? Etc.).
