Home a lot. Your dog is my life

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Charlie! My mom’s name is Karissa and she asked me to write up a bit about why we’d be a great option for your petcare. First, a little about me. I’m a 4 year old mutt (“half amazing, half terrific”). My mom rescued me last November from North Dakota where I was living all alone in the wild without enough food. Since then, my life has been totally different!! Mom gives me healthy food, yummy treats, endless toys, and takes me on so many fun adventures! She loves when I sit on her lap and snuggle in her bed even when I’m stinky from swimming in a swamp. I’ll be honest with you, I’m really nervous around new people too, and I knew right away that Karissa was a keeper. Sometimes I still get really anxious but Karissa knows just how to handle it with nice gentle pets, extra treats, and a fun walk to get out some of my anxious energy. She’s also really good and patient when teaching me new tricks! All in all, we’d love it if you came to stay with us! Karissa is a really good mom and even though I’m nervous about sharing, she promises “it will be good for me in the long run” (what a Mom thing to say). Anyway, hope to sniff your bottom soon!!!

Karissa does a fabulous job with our dog Ollie. She’s flexible, clearly loves dogs, and keeps us regularly informed throughout his stay. He is comfortable with her and dies not seem stressed when we pick him up like he does when he goes to the kennel. Karissa is super easy to work with and I would recommend her to anyone!

Karissa did an excellent job caring for our dog Ollie. He has some anxiety when we leave him and he did great there! She kept us updated regularly and sent pictures so we knew he was doing well. We felt totally comfortable leaving him with her and will plan to do so in the future!

Karissa and Charlie were absolutely amazing with Luna! I got lots of pictures throughout the weekend which gave me piece of my mind that my fur baby was being loved. This was my first experience with Rover and the first time I have ever left my puppy and I couldn't be happier with how it went. I have already booked Karissa for another weekend:)

Karissa was so great! We had her watch our dog while we went on a weekend trip and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Karissa did a great job sending us pictures and videos of our dog playing with her dog and was very flexible with us as our flight was delayed. I would recommend Karissa to anyone looking to board their dog with her.
