Highlights
Pet care experience
Here for you and your fur baby
I have been taking care of animals for about 14 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles and so much more. I have experience with elderly dogs. I’ve had to give oral medication to my senior dog on a daily basis and I have knowledge of giving cats oral medication as well. I know how to potty train puppies if needed as well. I am very reliable, as well as very caring. I try to make your animal feel comfortable in a situation they might not understand. If needed I can bathe your animal.

Safety, trust & environment
When I’m caring for your pets, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, and I take the time to get to know each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether they’re feeling nervous, anxious, unsure, excited, playful, or curious, I adjust my approach to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Communication is very important to me. I always tell my clients, “Please don’t feel obligated to respond!” because I tend to send a lot of pictures and videos. I want you to be able to look at your phone at any point and know exactly what your baby and I are up to. I’ll include updates throughout the day, such as feedings, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and anything else important, so you can see how their day is going. Most importantly, I want you to be able to see that your baby is not only safe, but genuinely loved and cared for while they’re with me. If I’m house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I’m mindful of your home, belongings, routines, and any instructions you leave for me. If anything unexpected comes up while you’re away, I will communicate with you promptly so you’re always informed. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away, knowing that your pets are in good hands and that you’ll have plenty of pictures and videos to make you feel like you’re still a part of their day!
Ratings and reviews
Clarisa was great! She sent lots of photos and our apartment was exactly how we left it. We would highly recommend and will use again!
Clarissa was absolutely amazing! She was very helpful and respectful of my home while I was away, and she took wonderful care of KJ. Clarissa was thorough and made sure there was no room for miscommunication when it came to KJ’s care, which gave me such huge peace of mind. This was my first time navigating the app, and she even helped me through the booking process to make sure I selected the most optimal options for my needs. Her kindness, professionalism, and attentiveness truly made this experience so much easier for me. Clarissa is a true angel! 😇 I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!
There are so many great things to say about Clarisa! She took great care of Baker & our home while we were gone. She sent so many updates & photos I never one time worried about Baker. Could not recommend her more. Will definitely use her again! She will be our go to for drop ins, walks, & overnights. Any pet would be lucky to have her as their sitter.
We love having Clarisa she always does a fantastic job!
We could not be happier with Clarisa. This was our first time using her, and we both agreed that we will absolutely be using her again in the future. From her regular updates throughout the day to the tons of pictures she shared, it was clear how much care and attention she gave our dogs. She spent meaningful one-on-one time with both of them, both inside and outside, and we truly do not have enough good things to say about her. On top of the exceptional care she provided for our dogs, our house looked amazing when we returned. I would absolutely recommend Clarisa to anyone looking for not only a wonderful pet sitter, but also a trustworthy and attentive house sitter.
Clarisa took great care of our three dogs both times she’s watched them for us now. She sent us a bunch of great pictures and kept us informed on how they were doing throughout our trip. She also took great care of our house and the dogs really seemed to love her.

Schedule
I am a first-semester nursing student at Pitt Community College, so my school schedule can vary throughout the week. Most days, I am in class for about 3 hours, while some days may include 5–8 hours of school, lab, or clinicals. This semester, my regular class schedule is typically Monday–Wednesday from 9 AM–12 PM with Lab typically on Thursday's or Fridays from 9AM-2Pm. My clinical schedule has not been assigned yet, so I may have clinicals on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. I will always maintain open, honest communication about my schedule and availability so pet parents can feel confident their fur babies are receiving the care and attention they need. When I’m not at school, I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing at home, or simply relaxing together, I love spending quality time with my furry clients. And when I need to study, your pets often become my favorite study buddies! I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that fits both their needs and my school schedule.
