Information Karissa W. would like to know about your pet

Before your pup stays with me please be sure to let me know if they are Serizer prone, any allergies food or environmental, sleeping habbits (crate or bed or sleeps with owner) anything small thing you can think of that might help me better understand your pup.

A typical day

The pups are allowed to roam in and outside as they please. If they want to romp around in the back yard then come inside for some cozy cuddles on the couch that’s exactly what they will do! Pups sleep in a crate unless otherwise told they get stressed in crates. We are flexible on this as we understand that some pups might just want to snuggle on the bed.

Pet care experience

⚠️🚨We are a dog daycare and boarding facility! We take up to 10 dogs at a time! If this is not something you are looking for then please select a different sitter! Hi I'm Karissa I've been working with dogs for about 12 years now but have owned dogs my entire life. Myca is our full time daycare girl she has 11 years of experience with dogs. We have an entire team that helps provide the best care for your pups! Needs walks? We have Kayleigh who has 5 years experience! We take care of dogs all shapes sizes ages and disabilities. Medication isn't a problem we are fully trained in giving medication whether it's a pill or a injection we can handle it. We have a fully fenced backyard that is completely dog friendly. We are pretty flexible on what we can do for you and your dog. Anything from dog walks, dog park adventures, overnights, nails, basic training,(obedience and leash) or just some cuddles about anything you can think you. We have a big heart and an even bigger one for dogs. We have worked with dogs with all different kinds of personalities. If you have a shyer dog we are willing to work with them to trust us just as they do you. When your dog is in our care you won't have to worry about anything but if you are a mom or dad are like me I always worry so I will be available by phone text or email the entire time I am caring for your pooch. Even if it's just a quick picture we will be more then happy to send you one. We have already said we love dogs and meeting new ones everyday. we will show unconditional affection to your pooch while they are with us like they were our own. Please note this is our full time job! Your pup Is never left alone!

Karissa was so great with Ollie! He had so much fun and we would wait everyday for karissa’s “photos drop of the day”, with a set of pictures of our dog having fun and making friends! Highly recommend! 10/10

I booked last minute and Karissa was still able to accommodate us. It was my baby's first time in day care and I was so nervous about it but she sent me updates with photos saying he did so good. I appreciate it so much he enjoyed it.

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.
