My 2 cats think I'm great!
Pet care experience
I have been dog- and cat-sitting since I was 9 years old. Everything from cats to chihuahuas to poodles to great pyrenees. I am very familiar with medical needs including hiding pills in treats, cleaning ears, and giving insulin shots. Cats hold a very special place in my heart and I always love coming home to happy pup face. I currently have 2 cats and I make sure to give them lots of love and company, which I will also do for your pets. You can expect lots of pictures and detailed updates from me! One of my cats likes to eat the other's food, so I am well-trained in making sure pets eat the correct amount of food. I prefer drop-in visits but I am definitely willing to stay at your home or walk dogs. I'm happy to chat about any details or questions you have! I work full time but my schedule is flexible, so I can typically come in the middle of the day or whenever is needed. If I'm not available, I'll say so immediately. I can sometimes work from home so I can spend a little more time in your house, if you'd like. Just let me know what you need and we'll figure something out! I will communicate openly with my scheduling. I can do drop-in visits, stay overnight in your home, or do play dates/dog walking. I love spending time with the dogs and cats to make sure they're well-loved and they have enough time to play.
Reviews
I rebooked Clairissa for another week bc my girls liked her so much the first time. She gave me daily updates and photos. I knew my girls would be in good hands and will be rebooking again next trip.
From the outset, Clairissa displayed a genuine affection and understanding for my furry friends. She went above and beyond in her duties, ensuring not just the basic needs but also engaging in playful activities that kept Jesper and Kaz both entertained and active. Her dedication to their well-being was evident in the regular updates and delightful photos she sent, which were not only reassuring but also a testament to her attentive care. What truly set Clairissa apart was her patience and skill in winning over Kaz, who is usually quite reserved. She took the time to understand his personality and gradually gained his trust. By the end of her service, it was clear that both Jesper and Kaz were extremely comfortable and happy under her care, a sentiment that any pet owner can appreciate.
Clairissa always does such a great job with my pets. I added a new kitty to the household and she went above and beyond for all of my pets. I completely trust her with my animals and I don’t worry while I am away. Thank you so much!!
Clairissa took great care of our kitties! She was patient and caring with our sassy younger cat, and even our very shy older cat warmed up to her and seemed happy and healthy when we got home!
