Additional services that I provide include -canine transportation -canine physical therapy I am a life long animal lover, especially of those who need a little extra tender love and care. Growing up I spent most of my free time rescuing animals with my family, focusing on dogs especially but not limited to. I care for senior pets, aggressive pets, pets with medical conditions, and anxiety disorders. I can work with and care for several pets at a time and have years of experience doing so as a rescuer. I have niche experience in providing rehabilitation and physical therapy for canines, tailoring my care to the needs of the individual pet and their family. I am able to administer first aid if ever needed, as well as administer medication to even the most stubborn canines. I have key experiences with cats, dogs, and amphibians, and I don't shy away from cleaning up messes or cuddling. your pets health, safety, and happiness are my number one priorities, and I pride myself on my communication with my clients.

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.

This is our first experience in using Rover and Clarissa has been fantastic. Our dogs are very shy as we don’t socialize often. Clarissa has been a miracle worker. She has slowly earned their trust and they are happy when she visits. It feels good to know that our girls are in great hands with her.

Clarissa did a good job caring for our pups. She was responsive, sent some pics, and left our place neat.

Clarissa was kind and responsible. I can tell that she truly cares about the dogs, especially our senior dog who is not doing well.

Schedule

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.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Clarissa can host up to 12 drop-ins per day
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!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
