🐾 Loving Care While Away 🐶
I have been around animals my entire life and have cared for dogs for many years as a pet owner. I am experienced in providing daily care including feeding, fresh water, exercise, walks, playtime, administering basic routines, and giving pets the attention and affection they need to feel comfortable and secure. I can offer discounted prices if you book outside of Rover Friends and family have trusted me to care for their children and pets because I am dependable, attentive, and responsible. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am committed to providing excellent communication, regular updates, and treating every pet as if they were my own.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking routines, and household rules provided by each owner. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, and I take the time to help them feel comfortable and secure. I will keep you updated with messages and photos throughout each visit and treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.
Ratings and reviews
Karissa was great. Lots of communication and pictures. Our dog hardly looked excited to see us, so I know he was well taken care of. Thank you!

Karissa did a great job with the drop-in visit for my senior dog, Georgia! I really appreciated the care and attention she gave Georgia, along with the photo updates. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book with Karissa again!
Karissa did a fabulous job. She communicated regularly and sent pictures.

Schedule
I work full-time remotely during regular business hours, which allows me flexibility for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care before work, during work, after work, and on weekends. I am dependable, responsive, and committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away.

- Please let me know about your pet’s personality, routine, medical needs, medications, allergies, fears, triggers, favorite activities, and any special instructions before the visit. I would also like to know how they interact with people, other animals, and unfamiliar situations. The more information you provide, the better I can keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while following their normal routine as closely as possible.
