Pet care experience

Genuine dog lover!

I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid and have been a dog lover my whole life! Anyone who knows me knows that my dog who is now 14 has been brought up like a human child. So many friends have requested that I dog sit for them after seeing how much my own dog is loved.

Drop-In Visits • Aug 04, 2026

First time we used Rover.com and we are so happy that Clarissa accepted our request. Our little dog is extremely difficult and he does not accept strangers well. Clarissa requested a meet and greet with Buddy and Fluffy; it went really well. We received 3 updates a day. The whole experience was very positive and rewarding thanks to Clarissa.

Clarissa took the best care of our pup! We loved the sweet photos and updates. He was so happy and relaxed when we came to pick him up after his stay. We are so thankful for Clarissa and her wonderful family!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 04, 2026

Clarissa, we had a wonderful experience and couldn't be happier with the care provided. From the beginning, you were communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring. What stood out most was her willingness to make accommodations and work with our schedule and specific needs, which made the entire process stress-free. It was clear that Lena was treated with patience, and attention, and we received updates that gave us peace of mind while we were in our event. Knowing our pup was in such good hands allowed us to fully enjoy our time. If you are in the Lexington area this is your gal, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate Rover sitter!

Clarissa took great care of our dog while we were gone for a week. She gave us plenty of updates and photos along the way and we could tell that our dog was cozy and comfortable there. We’ve used her several times as our pet sitter and will continue to do so. She’s great!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 24, 2025

Clarissa was great! She was so easy to work with and gave us several updates with photos throughout the day. She took wonderful care of our dog, including administering eye drops. We will definitely use her again as a pet sitter. Added bonus- she has a super sweet dog of her own that kept our dog great company 😁

Melissa was a joy to work with. Instant response to text messages. Sent photos and texts during the dogs stay at her home. Our two dogs felt comfortable during the stay.
