Availability
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.

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.

Information Karissa C. would like to know about your pet
Before a stay or visit, I like to learn about your pet’s: • Daily routine and energy level • Feeding and walking schedule • Medications, allergies, or health concerns • Comfort level with other dogs (if applicable) • Any quirks, fears, or favorite activities I’m always happy to follow specific instructions so your pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
A typical day
A typical visit with your pet is full of care, attention, and fun! I make sure fresh water is always available and any feeding is engaging — I often use slow feeder toys or hide kibble around the space to stimulate your pup’s mind. I always come prepared with treats, poop bags, Kongs, and a portable water bottle. I love taking pets on adventures, with your permission — this can include trips to a private dog park, enjoying a Pup Cup, or exploring safe outdoor areas. For social dogs, I provide supervised socialization in my private dog yard, so they can interact and play without risk of kennel cough or unwanted behaviors. I also take lots of photos and videos during visits so you can see how your pet is doing — it’s important to me that you feel connected and confident your pup is happy, safe, and having fun!

Pet care experience
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.

Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!
Karissa is the absolute best pet sitter ever!! We would never use anyone else… we feel so comfortable when we are away knowing that our cat, Violet is in the best and friendliest of hands. Highly recommend using Karissa…. She is amazing!!!!
I appreciate Karissa very much and would recommend her to anyone needing a walker/sitter for their dog. She is dependable and great with communicating about scheduling.
