Safety, trust & environment

In my pet clients home, I'm available to let pups in or out as needed. I would leave them in designated areas (yard, crate, etc.) And follow rules and procedures set by the family and spend quality time with your pets.

Information Karissa M. would like to know about your pet

If you pup has any special needs I'm happy to adjust and accomodate them. Whether a puppy, a senior, and going through a phase in between I'll work hard to care for them fully and keep them happy!

A typical day

I'm able to give your pups a structured day full of fun! I can feed breakfast and morning walks or playtime, and evening care for dinner or a long walk if needed to get both physical and mental fulfillment before winding down for the evening.

Pet care experience

I've been the go-to pet sitter and caregiver for family and friends since my teen years (over 20 years) and I'm excited for the opportunity to expand and care for pets in our community! I have strong attention to detail and intuition when it comes to animals. Over the years, I've worked with a variety of dog breeds in all sizes, and my personal experience with bully mixes and shepherds has allowed me to become a great caregiver for pets with special needs and/or behavioral "differences". ;) For example: -medications -insulin injections -subQ fluids -food aggression -walking and social behaviors I also care for cats (I had mine for about 23 years!) and have experience caring for reptiles such as snakes and lizards, and farm animals too.

Karissa is the best pet sitter. When we come home, our cats who are normally anxious, are chill and relaxed because shes take such good care of them when we are gone.

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.
