Pet care experience

Growing up, we always had both dogs and cats. I grew up with big dogs (Dobermans/Doberman Rottweilers), so I have more experience there, but also have experience with smaller breeds too. In addition to experience with both dogs and cats, I also have experience caring for bunnies as well. I regularly watch my sisters dogs (both husky mixes) as well as my godpets (2 Boston terriers - 1 senior & 1 puppy, 2 cats, and 2 bunnies).

Karissa is easy to communicate with and has always been responsive. We worked with her previously to watch our dog in our house for a couple days. She came for a preliminary visit to meet us and our pup. We had to cancel that trip due to an illness and Karissa was very understanding and accommodating with our need to cancel. We reached out again recently for a one-time walk, and appreciate that Karissa was able to accommodate our request on relatively short notice. She took great care of him and sent detailed info and photos of their time together. We already have another in-house appointment scheduled and feel comfortable that our pup is in good hands. We highly recommend Karissa!

Karissa was a fabulous kitty sitter! Fred was well taken care of and a happy boy when we returned from our trip.

Karissa was amazing with our puppers. We have a very shy girl who tends to just stay in her crate when mom isn't home, but Karissa was able to get her to come out periodically while we were gone for our wedding. If we ever need someone else to watch our babies again we will certainly be reaching out her first.

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.
