Trusted Local Dog Care

I’ve cared for dogs for over 4 years and have owned 9 dogs throughout my life. I’m comfortable with dogs and understand their need for play, exercise, and affection. Your dog will enjoy a large fenced yard and is always welcome inside our home where they’ll be treated like family. (They may enjoy our couches too if you prefer!) I also provide daily photo updates so you can feel confident your dog is happy and comfortable.

After a few failed attempts with other dog sitters, we came to Rover to find someone who truly loves and cares for pups. We definitely found it with Karyssa and her family. They loved on our sweet boy just like we would. He came home worn out, like he’d been away at summer camp! I loved the daily pictures and updates, it helped with being away from our pup! We definitely recommend Karyssa, and will be booking again on our next trip.

We were so glad that Karyssa & Michael were able to care for our older dog during a recent holiday weekend. They have a wonderful active family and beautiful golden retriever who I’m sure is great with their Rover pets. They took care to send pictures and keep us updated on her activities and given her age, especially made sure she was comfortable and had plenty of time to rest. thank you again for taking such great care of our dog and I’m so glad we found you guys on rover.com.

The sitters did an amazing job. They communicated regularly with photos to update us on our dogs well being. Our dogs got a little anxious being away for the first time with someone new and one of them stayed out in the living room all night to help them calm down.

Karyssa did an amazing job watching our puppy! Wonderful communication, tons of pictures, and very accommodating! My wife and I are excited to have a reliable sitter. In the pics that were received, our puppy looked so relaxed and comfortable. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

I usually take a morning walk once I wake up around the neighborhood or in the forest near my home. Then I have indoor play time. After a couple hours I let dogs outside to use restroom and play. In the evening I play catch with our dog.
