Pet care experience

Hi there, I see your interested in booking with me! I have multiple years animal handling experience as I have worked at dog daycare/boarding & have been watching family and friends pets since an adolescent. I am very familiar with dog/cat body language which helps me provide the most excellent amount of care. When booking as a pet owner myself I definitely understand the fears and anxiety that come with leaving your fur children with strangers. I do my absolute best to alleviate all anxiety I send plenty of pictures/ videos and detailed updates as well as am available at anytime to answer any questions you may have. I’m a firm believer in providing the best care because anything less is unacceptable. Your babies are your world so when they enter my care they become my world as well. I have worked with a wide range of beautiful dogs, cats, and even rabbits. Some of which have separation anxiety, general anxiety, dog selective, barrier aggressive, and leash reactive dogs. I see this as more of a career for myself so I do go above and beyond with care. I provide toys, homemade treats, as well as grain-free treats, blankets and bedding, & and a safe area for them to relax and play. After each booking I do clean my house down with kennel cleaner as well as an enzyme cleaner for any accidents that might of happened during the stay as to ensure the safety of every pet that come in my care. I like to have one on one time with each pet I watch because patience is key and I understand overstimulation with other dogs can give off bad impressions. I am very patient as I do understand that each fur child is unique in his or her own way. I genuinely enjoy being around all the clients I have and the clients I have yet to meet. I see this as a very even trade I’m able to offer help in my community and my community is able to offer me beautiful pets who make my days and nights better. I do have a business instagram. ( @elegantpoochies222) which you can feel free to follow and check out it gives a more updated look into my schedule for appointments and opening available by the hour. I also love to make silly videos with each pet and do photo shoots of them. I’m all about a vibe and the energy you give off to the pet you are watching is very important. I see myself hopeful in the next 5 years starting a rescue for cats and eventually owning a home with land to provide a agility filled day of play for dogs I watch. Well you have a wonderful day and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Clarissa came through for me last minute when my usual sitter plans fell apart. My boy Rusty almost didn't wanna come home with me, she's his new best friend. ❤️❤️ THANK YOU!!

Clarissa is a great house sitter! She worked with my schedule and was very flexible and accommodating. My dogs and cat loved her! My pets are very high need and she did great, making sure they were well looked after.

My dog does daycare usually once or twice per week and has such a great time! I also did boarding for one week and Clarissa was very communicative throughout the week.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m all about safety, I do journal the dogs behaviors and actions for the day. I like to take note of certain behaviors they do to further prevent any incidents from occurring. I do keep walks to a specific route to ensure upmost safety. I step away from oncoming dogs and I do stay clear of parks if it’s too many dogs. I own a play pen which I place dogs in if I need to step out for a second. I also have a pet cam in my home that is amazing for boardings.

A typical day

. I range off the dogs energy level and tolerance when playing activities. I do trips to walk around lake Merritt as well as some small hikes. I stimulate pets mentally with treat boards and lick mats. I try to provide training exercises which I use positive reinforcement. Emotionally I talk to them and help to keep them calm with a varied of diffuser uses either lavender or eucalyptus to add extra relief, give them massage and bathes at the end of the stay so they can relax and feel at ease.
