Highlights
Pet care experience
Like long walks on the beach? I do!
I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs of varied breeds and sizes. I've fostered several large breed dogs. I've also volunteered at two no-kill shelters to take the dogs waiting for adoption on walks and helping to socialize them. During the winter, I'm very mindful of keeping your pup's feet healthy, and have lots of experience putting on booties to protect their paws or making sure to wash off any salt after our walks if they walk uncovered. I'm familiar with all kinds of harnesses, collars, and leashes. Keeping your pup safe while we are out is my number one concern. I also love to capture photos of your pup to send to you.

Ratings and reviews
Clarissa was great as always! She provides excellent care, long walks, and plenty of pictures of my dog.

This was Mondo’s second stay with Clarissa and I don’t think he wanted to leave! Clarissa provided great updates with photos throughout the week so I was never worried. I can tell my dog is treated like family when he’s there with lots of play and cuddles :)

Clarissa took amazing care of my pup! She provided updates throughout the entire stay and I felt like my pup was in great hands.

Mondo had an amazing time staying with Clarissa and her family… I think he wanted to stay longer! Clarissa kept me updated on how he was doing throughout his stay and sent cute photos showing all the fun he was having. I know my little guy was well cared for and I plan on booking with Clarissa whenever I go out of town in the future. Mondo and I would give 10 stars if we could!

Would 100% rebook with Clarissa. They made my dog feel at home and gave us regular updates.

Great communication and care for our pup

Schedule
I'm available for drop-in visits and walks on weekday evenings and any time on Saturdays and Sundays. I don’t have a lot of evening commitments so overnight pet sitting works well for me. We also rarely travel for the holidays.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in backyard with locked gates. We always monitor time out in the yard. Non-smoking home with dog gates to keep pups out of off limits areas. Building trust is important, so I approach all dogs calmly and provide them with attention and care according to the owner’s instructions.
Pets
A typical day
I have a 7 year old Bichon Frise who loves every dog and person he’s ever met that would love to play, along with two older teenage daughters who want to give your pup all of the snuggles for any overnights. We go on a long morning and evening walk every day and are a short distance from Horner Park. Between the three of us, someone is generally always home.
