I work out of the city and have a flexible schedule to come to different parts of the city whether for in home care or walks for your dog. I have a car so I am able to get every where easily.

Information Claryssa C. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any specific preferences on breeds of dogs. I have been around and dog sat/walked dogs of various ages and sizes. I would just like to know preferences of the care for all animals involved.

A typical day

I am able to adapt to all needs of the dog based on their demographic! Whether they prefer short walks and more couch time or a dog that loves the dog park and long walks, I am able to do and have done, all of the above!

Claryssa was fantastic. She is very good at communicating and putting my mind at ease. I have not had good luck on Rover previously and she has renewed my trust. Claryssa was very good with my shepherd and I will definitely ask her back!

She did a great job taking care of my dogs while I was out of town. She is flexible about arranging a time to come over and meet the dogs, see the house and discuss what we needed. We definitely wanna use her again!

Claryssa was an amazing house sitter for our 70lb newfie/pyrenees. She was communicative, flexible, and easy to work with. Our house was left in perfect condition. She’ll be our first call the next time we’re away and we couldn’t recommend her more.

Claryssa was amazing! My cat absolutely loved her and I can tell she loved him too. I was pretty stressed about booking a cat sitter for my trip but I felt completely at ease after booking her. She gave great updates with pictures and made sure to play and cuddle with my cat. She was awesome and I would 100% book with her again.

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.
