Will love your dog like it's my own
Pet care experience
I am at a place in my life where it is not realistic for me to get my own pet yet as it is not something I can afford. With that being said, I love dogs immensely and therefore cherish time I get to spend with them even if they are not my own. Through my own prior experience of having a dog, I am extremely aware of the joy they bring to the lives of their owners and how important pets are to people. As a result I take this job very seriously and realize the level of trust that must be there. I have dog sat chihuahuas and pit bulls - two ends of the spectrum in terms of size and needs. My love for dogs and my inability to own one at this phase of life, although I greatly desire to, are both reasons why you should take comfort in knowing I will provide the best dog sitting/walking service.
Reviews
My boyfriend and I got our puppy, Charlie, in April and luckily we found Karissa on Rover right away! She came to our house every afternoon to take Charlie out to use the bathroom and just give him some love and attention. Within 2 weeks of having Charlie, I got a call from Karissa when I was at work, telling me that Charlie was very sick and she was worried. Not only did she miss her class to stay with Charlie until I got home, but she cleaned up the house as much as she could. I cannot express how grateful I am that she was there! Karissa went back home for the summer in May and my boyfriend and I decided not to find another dog sitter because we knew we wanted to work with Karissa when she returned to school. We are so excited she is back and we cannot recommend her enough!

Information Karissa F. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how they interact with people and other dogs so that I can keep that in mind on walks. If I know they like other dogs I can take them to dog parks, but if I know they don't do well around other dogs that is useful information even for simply taking them outside.
A typical day
I will take them on walks around town. We can go to dog parks if they are good with interactions. If they enjoy running I am a very active person and can provide opportunities to do that together.
