Highlights
Pet care experience
Day/Evening Pet Care • Star Sitter
I provide in-home daytime house sitting, giving your pet dedicated care and companionship while you’re away. I do not offer overnight stays. What sets me apart is my exceptional communication, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals. I have experience working with dogs who experience anxiety, as well as nervous or reactive pets, and I focus on helping them feel safe, calm, and comfortable during visits. I’m comfortable administering medications and carefully following any special care instructions to support your pet’s health and routine. During visits, I provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and playtime tailored to your pet’s personality and needs. I also send frequent photo and video updates so you can see exactly how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m happy to schedule a meet and greet beforehand so both you and your pet can feel comfortable before any booking.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide pet care in your home, so your pet can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. I prioritize trust, safety, and communication above all — I know good help is hard to find, and I want you to feel confident that your pet is in caring, attentive hands. I send frequent pictures and videos, so you can see exactly how your pet is feeling — I’m a big believer that you can tell a lot about their mood through their eyes! I proactively send updates at every visit, so you never have to ask, and I adjust care to your pet’s unique personality and routine. My goal is to make it feel like you’re right there with your pet, even when you’re away. I’m always available for a meet-and-greet so you and your pet can get to know me before any visits — it’s important to me that everyone feels comfortable and confident from day one.
Ratings and reviews
Karissa did an incredible job with our two cats!
Always reliable !
Karissa was so sweet and prompt! I know yogi was well cared for and happy because he ate his food which he never does when I’m gone!
Karissa is absolutely amazing!!!! Our cat, Violet loves when she visits and she takes excellent care of her!! 10/10 highly recommend using Karissa…. She’s the best!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Karissa was absolutely AMAZING and hands down the best pet sitter I’ve had so far! She took such great care of my dog and two cats while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind the entire time. She sent tons of photos, videos, and detailed updates, which made me feel like I was right there with my pets. It was clear from every update that she genuinely cared about them and spent quality time making sure they were happy, comfortable, and loved. She also went above and beyond by bringing in my package, which was such a thoughtful gesture and greatly appreciated. It’s rare to find someone who is not only reliable and professional but who truly treats your pets like they’re her own. I came home to happy pets and a stress-free experience. I cannot recommend Karissa enough and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and caring, Karissa is the one! ❤️🐾🏡
Awesome as always!

Schedule
I provide full-time pet care through Rover and offer drop-ins, walks, and daytime house sitting visits. Because caring for pets is my full-time work, I’m often able to accommodate both same-day requests and advanced bookings. I focus on giving pets reliable care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. Visits can include walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of attention tailored to your pet’s needs and routine. Please note that I provide daytime house sitting only and do not offer overnight stays, as I return home to my family in the evenings. However, I’m happy to schedule multiple visits throughout the day to make sure your pet gets the care, exercise, and companionship they need. My goal is always to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind with updates and photos during each visit.
