Pet care experience
Small girl, big heart for dogs!
Hi, my name is Karissa and I have loved dogs and all other animals since I was a child. I would love to hang out and spoil your fur baby! I also love nature, so why not bring a dog along for my outdoor excursions? I believe that walks are incredibly stimulating for dogs, and very important for their overall mental health! I can't imagine being trapped in a house all day, so why should a dog be left inside?! I started on Rover over 10 years ago when I was in college. I was actually the top rated sitter in my hometown of Roslindale at one point in time! After I graduated and entered the corporate world, I decided to update my settings to repeat clients only because I was getting so many requests. Recently, I have decided to take a step back from the corporate world and re-open my Rover to new clients. I was so much happier hanging out with dogs (and cats!) all day! I will always send you photos and videos of your fur baby while they are under my care. I know how important it is to receive those updates for your peace of mind when you are away from them. I’m on Rover because I love animals and enjoy pet sitting. I never double book clients! I understand that pets are family members and pet parents have the expectation for the highest level of care. Double booking would take my time away from your pet and I wouldn’t want somebody to do that to my pet. When I pet sit, I don’t just swing by to feed and walk them. I hang out with them to provide companionship while their owners are away. When you return from your trip, you’ll find your pets are very content and happy despite your absence — I guarantee it!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I follow the directions given to me by the pet parent. I also am very respectful in your home. If I make a mess, I clean it. (i.e, I wash my own dishes and take out the garbage etc.) Your home will be found in the same condition that you left it when you return from your trip. I always ask permission before bringing an additional guest or a friend over to your home while I’m pet sitting.
Ratings and reviews
Mabel and Reno love Karissa! She was able to help us out on short notice! Thank you!
Karissa is our go to for our pups! They live her and she is very communicative with us! Lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I never worry when Karissa keeps them :)
Was great with the dogs and lots of updates! Would use again
Karissa was amazing with our 3 pups. We were gone for a week and she stayed at our house. Karissa walked them 3X day, played with them and loved them so that we could have a worry free vacation. Karissa sent daily pics and reports our their activities. We also had some snow and she responsibly shoveled our porch and stairs to help dogs and us on our return. Our house was clean and well taken care of while we were gone. We highly recommend Karissa!!
Karissa was incredible. She was extremely patient with my nervous dog and kept me informed every step of the way.
Karissa took wonderful care of my cats, She provided frequent updates, pics, videos and my cats fell in love with her! She is very attentive to details, very responsible and responsive. Super happy with her care.

Schedule
I’m currently taking a break from the corporate world so my schedule is wide open as I do not have a commitment to a regular 9-5. I am looking forward to going on walks with your pet and cuddling them to boost my serotonin! :)
