Pet care experience

If you want a friend - get a dog!

I am a graduate from Purdue with my degree in veterinary nursing and am now an Oncology Vet Nurse - making me the perfect caregiver for all fury friends, even the delicate seniors. I am trained in accessing the wellness of animas and am able to identify signs of sickness or distress. I am able to administer oral, ocular, ear, or injectable medications if needed. I have experience in providing care to compromised pets with diseases such as diabetics, cardiac or respiratory disease, orthopedic disease, and more. Prior to veterinary nursing school, I was a boarding and grooming assistant. I took care of 15+ pets that were boarding as well as providing grooming services.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment that does not allow pets so I am unable to board pets at my home. However, I will be available to do sit-ins at the clients home.

Karissa is just lovely! She cares with the love in her heart and a smile on her face! She’s amazing and the fur babies think so too!

Karissa loves all animals and always shows great care and compassion with them. She takes such great care of my dog when she watches him.

Karissa is tremendous with animals. Her education and background as a Vet Nurse makes me comfortable knowing my pets will be well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

I would to know the dogs behaviors towards other animals and people. Please let me know if it is or is not for your pet to have treats. It is important for me to know pertinent past medical history that may require me to be on the look out for any signs of stress (example: allergies to food or environmental, recently torn CCL, cardiac disease, etc.).
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.
