Information Clarissa L. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know about your pet and their needs before working with them. Routine, needs, favorite toys (if applicable)... What is your pet like? How do they get along with people and other pets?

A typical day

I cater activities and enrichment to each pets needs. If your pet needs a nice long walk, we will explore as much as is needed, maybe stop by a park. If your pet just needs to run around and have someone watch them at home for a bit, I can do that as well.

Clarissa was wonderful! I haven't left my pup in another home in years and she made me feel super secure with leaving him. Came over to visit and get to know his routines and was so flexible with his stay- Working around my crazy trips! So glad to know Clarissa is available and I have someone I can trust close by!

I cannot say enough good things about Clarissa. This was my first time leaving my nervous dog Codi with someone other than family - and this was for 2 weeks! Clarissa was very accommodating and communicative when booking and sent updates about Codi while I was gone. Codi warmed up after a few days and was very comfortable with Clarissa. I would definitely book with her again - she is amazing!

What a gem! Such a great sitter. We didn’t have to worry about our little furry boy. And I swear she cleaned the apartment before she left! We will definitely ask her to sit fir us again.
