Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar space. I follow your routines closely, give lots of attention and companionship, and keep you updated with photos and notes. I’m also available for walks or drop-in visits as needed.
Information Karissa M. would like to know about your pet
Please share anything that helps me follow your pet’s normal routine, including: • Feeding schedule and daily habits • Medications or health needs • Behavioral quirks or anxieties • How they are with other dogs and people • Any house rules, crate preferences, or comforts they rely on The more I know, the better I can keep your pet happy and comfortable.
A typical day
A typical day includes sticking to your pet’s normal schedule: morning walks, feeding, playtime, and whatever activities they enjoy most. For energetic pets, that might mean longer walks or games; for calmer pets, more snuggles and quiet company. I make sure they get a good balance of activity, enrichment, and rest so they feel happy and secure.

Experienced Pet Sitter & Walker
Pet care experience
I’m a lifelong animal lover who rescued and cared for my own dog for many years, which taught me a lot about understanding a pet’s needs. Since then, I’ve been the go-to sitter for family and friends, caring for pets with different personalities and routines. I’m experienced with administering medications, supporting senior dogs, and managing special diets, and I’m always attentive to any instructions you provide. I offer house sitting in your home, dog walking, and drop-in visits, and tailor each visit to your pet’s routine; whether that’s exercise, playtime, or calm companionship. I follow your schedule closely and keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. My aim is to make your time away as easy as possible by providing steady, dependable care and keeping your pet’s routine on track. I value being a comforting, familiar presence for animals, and I’m excited to look after yours as if they were my own.
Reviews
Karissa was so great with our dog. She sent tons of pictures and updates while we were gone. She was nice and trustworthy!
She is truly one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had. She cared for my three dog (each with special diets, supplements, medications, and one with a demanding potty schedule) with absolute excellence. Because she works from home, she was able to spend most of the day with them, which gave me total peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative, kind, and attentive, sending regular updates and photos and treating my dogs like they were her own. She also took immaculate care of my home and left it cleaner than she found it. Having her watch my dogs felt like having another version of myself there while I was away. I would book her again and again without hesitation.
Karissa has watched my dog Emme on numerous occasions. She is incredibly attentive and loving towards Emme and is great about sending me updates! Emme truly looks forward to seeing Karissa and spending time with her. I have found Karissa to be extremely reliable, organized, and easy to work with, which makes planning dog care/walks so much less stressful. Highly recommend!
We have been using Karissa as a pet sitter for over 6 years. She is great with animals and is Olive loves spending time with her. Karissa is very communicative throughout the stay and pays great attention to details about your pet. She is trustworthy and very reliable every time. Your pet will feel happy and safe while you are away with Karissa!
