Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your pet like it is my own with love, intentially, compassion, and trust. I will make individual time for each pet providing love, care, and affection based on the level the client and pet are comfortable with. I would like to set up a meeting with the owner/s and pet/s in person to get a better idea of what is being asked of me and get to know everyone involved especially your pet/s first before I can agree to care and services. This gives me a better idea if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for and provide extra attention to. Also if there is specific routines you have in place for your pet/s that I can try to learn and follow to provide the best experience for your pet/pets, while giving the owner/s peace of mind while they are gone. I am a hard-worker and detail-oriented. I strive to complete every task required of me and am respectful of other's space, home, and belongs. My general practice is to try to keep a place neat and tidy, by clean up after myself, and after a pet/s, such as picking up dog poop and will also consider cleaning up puke.

Information Karissa E. would like to know about your pet

By getting a better idea of what is being asked of me and get to know everyone involved especially your pet/s first before I agree services I can offer more personalized care plan that is tailored to your individual pet. Such as if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for and provide extra attention to. Also if there is specific routines you have in place for your pet/s that I can try to learn and follow to provide the best experience for your pet/pets, while giving you the owner/s peace of mind while you're gone.

A typical day

We'll play a bunch of games for stimulation so no pet/s will be bored and check out all the new smells around neighborhood as we go for walks. If your dog is super friendly and loves playmates, I can take them to the dog park or for walks on paved trails by the creek. I am well-versed in playing fetch, and tolerating squeaky toys. My general practice is that consistency is key for all pets, I will do my best to follow through with communication and commands with your pet/s.

Pet care experience

I've cared for many pets since I was 8 yrs old. I earn pets trust easily & will care for them like they are my own. I've done multiple overnights with pets & the owners keep asking for me back. I have a dog of my own for 9 years, which I had potty trained him in a month, and he is versed in multiple commands. I have worked with puppies to senior dogs and the same for kittens to senior cats. I have also taken care of multiple pets with special needs and/or requirements that were met really well according to their owners. Lastly, I love photography and am pretty decent with capturing photos of pets.

Karissa is very dependable and has a real love for animals. She took extra special care with our fur babies and we truly appreciate that. We would hire Karissa again in a second!!

Karissa Rover Testimonial Karissa is an amazing person who is dedicated to work. She will work hard and go above and beyond the standards. I have been with Karissa since the eighth grade and she is an amazing person. She is very skilled and crafty. Karissa has always had a large heart for animals, and she will do anything to make sure the animals she watches or takes for a walk will be safe and protected. She has a dog named Chewy that has an amazing health record. I would greatly trust Karissa with my pets because I know they would be safe. I also know if anything would happen to my pets she would take action immediately and she would make sure my pets will return home to me safely. I have reptile pets and when Karissa and I talk on the phone she always asks about and thinks they are the cutest things ever. She is an amazing person and would do an awesome job taking care of people's pets.

I have known Karissa for over ten years and there is no one better to take care of your pet! She is responsible, kind, caring, and loves animals. Karissa is great at paying attention to details and remembering directions. She will be your new go to pet sitter!
