Rover is my main source of income, and the majority of my time is dedicated to taking care of peoples pets. I am in college, but I only attend in person classes twice a week. because of this I am able to devote tons of time to your furry friend and make sure that they are well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets safety is my number one priority. I’m well aware of pets emotional and physical needs, and I have no problem enforcing their standard structured schedule while they are in my care. I don’t mind hyperactive pets, or lazy pets, my goal is to tailor the care I give to your pet to their needs.

Information Clarissa D. would like to know about your pet

To make a proper assessment of each client and their furry friend(s) I will need to know your pets age, medical history, a list of medications, the address and name of their vet, their energy level, daily routine, feeding schedule, and bathroom schedule. I would also love to know of any tricks they know!

A typical day

I love spending time with animals, on an average day with me your pet and I would play, snuggle, enjoy the fresh air outside, practice tricks, and through my walking service they would recieve an appropriate amount of physical exercise for them!
