Pet care experience

Loving care and proven training ❤️

I offer a 15% discount for new clients! I have trained multiple doggos from potty training to service actions and I am currently offering free basic training. I truly believe that animals deserve love and respect like we ourselves do. If I could own/run a zoo I would! Taking care of animals is my career and my passion. I strive to create a bond with every animal I meet! Our daily routine is similar day to day. We wake up at 7:30 and everyone gets their potty break. I check all of their bowls for fresh water and give all our legs a minute to stretch! I have two feeding times a day with our first in the morning for breakfast. I feed everyone in seperate rooms for 15 minutes and then encourage another potty break. We have some down time for pets and quite play with our favorite toys. While us big people eat our lunch I seperate our pups into teams to go potty and get their zoomies out. After lunch we all head outside for some structured play and training time. I love water playtime! We have lots of shady spots too cool down also. It's usually time to start on dinner and the puppers are all pooped and napping on the cool tiles until it's time to eat. I seperate them again while we all eat our dinners. Afterwards it's time to go potty and sniff around furever. About 8 pm we are ready to settle down for the night and start getting comfy. By 9 pm we are all pooped and ready for snoozes. All of my puppers sleep in either their own kennel or room depending on their specific needs. I handle the pups personally from sun up to sun down and love every minute! I have a 6 foot fenced in backyard and a ton of outdoor enrichment to keep everyone happy. I run a very fun and lively household! I am a full time pet care giver! I am always available with notice for boarding and in home visits. I am rarely out of the house more than an hour at a time. I have 4 sweet fur babies that adore having company.

My dog seemed to enjoy her stay here! She was so tired from all the fun she had. Clarissa is so kind and fast to respond!

My dog was well-loved. He was clearly accustomed to receiving a lot of snuggles. He enjoyed playing in the dirt in the back. Lots of signs of a good time!

Clarissa was amazing! She was flexible with my last-minute booking and took such good care of my two Golden Retrievers. They came home happy and exhausted. Thank you, Clarissa!

Clarissa was amazing. She watched my two dogs for 8 days. One of my dogs has severe issues with anxiety. When I went to pick them up willow my basketcase nervous dog kept loving on Clarissa. I could tell Willow was very attached to her. It melted my heart. Both dogs came back happy and clean. I highly recommend her.
