Information Karissa H. would like to know about your pet

I’m willing to accommodate any special needs your pet may have. My goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible leaving your loved one in my care.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks and explore new places but also cuddle up and snooze. I love keeping pets engaged with a variety of fun activities! Depending on the pet's preferences, I can take them on walks, play fetch, or have interactive play sessions with their favorite toys. For more energetic pets, I can arrange a run or hiking adventure, while quieter pets might enjoy cuddles, puzzle games, or light indoor play.

6+ Years Experience: Flexible Care!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I am currently a nursing student with 6 years of experience caring for pets of all types. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, so I can accommodate last-minute bookings, long walks, or extra playtime with your furry friend! Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or a safe place to relax, I am here to make sure they are well taken care of. I have had a variety of pets growing up and I have cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I am comfortable with fur, scales, and feathers, and I enjoy both high-energy and more laid-back companions. I am reliable, patient, and passionate about making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and safe while you are away. Looking forward to meeting your pet soon!

Karissa did a great job with our dogs. One is an elderly dog that can’t see or hear very well and has separation anxiety. She handled his issues perfectly!

Karissa was super easy to coordinate with, did everything we asked, provided plenty of pictures, and gave Luna lots of pets and love in our absence. Would definitely recommend her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
