Hello there! My name is Clarissa. My love for animals started when I was a child. We have always had a dog in my house. I have been dog sitting for family and friends since I was in high school. And cat sitting for a year now. I grow such a bond with these animals that I love them like my own. For the past 6 years, I have also been a dog groomer. It couldn't have been a more perfect job for me! Clients that have been loyal customers for years have even entrusted me with dog sitting their pups in the past. Now that I am transitioning from out of college, I am ready to find a career in my field. That being said, I always want to interact with animals for the rest of my life. I hope this will be an opportunity to do that. As for myself, my family has 3 dogs of our own and I became a pet parent myself last year. My dog Penny is 2 years old now (she is the love of my life). As you can tell, animals are a very important part of my being. No matter how sad or down I may be, they cheer me up instantly. I cannot wait to meet your adorable furry pets!
