Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Favorite Auntie
Aloha! I’m Claryssa — a local college student, lifelong animal lover, and proud “Island Aunty” to every pet I meet. What sets me apart is how much I care about creating comfort and trust, whether it’s your energetic puppy or your mellow senior dog who just wants cuddles and company. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience with dogs of all sizes — from tiny terriers to big lovable mastiffs. I’m patient with shy pets, calm in new situations, and always focused on making sure your furry friend feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also super active, so if your dog loves walks, beach time, or play sessions, I’m your girl! But I’m just as happy spending quiet time with senior pets who need a gentler touch. You can count on me to treat your pets like ʻohana — with lots of love, care, and aloha every step of the way
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I always tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether I’m staying in your home or caring for your pet at mine, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay attention to routines — from feeding times to favorite toys — and keep their environment calm, clean, and stress-free. Every pet is different, so I adjust my approach to make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and treated just like family.
Ratings and reviews
I can't recommend Claryssa enough for her exceptional care of my dog, Nalu. From the moment I dropped Nalu off, it was clear that she was in great hands. Claryssa provides regular walks, which Nalu absolutely loves, and goes above and beyond to make sure she’s comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also really appreciate the constant communication!! Claryssa keeps me updated with photos and messages, which puts my mind at ease. Nalu always comes home happy and healthy, and it’s so comforting knowing she’s getting personalized attention and love in a safe environment.
Claryssa has been walking my 2-year-old Irish Setter, Bethesda, for a while now, and she’s absolutely wonderful. Bethesda is a big, energetic dog, but Claryssa handles her with such calm confidence and genuine care. It’s clear she really understands dogs and loves what she does. I always know Bethesda is in great hands, and she comes home happy and tired after every walk. I couldn’t recommend Claryssa more; she’s reliable, kind, and truly fantastic with pets :)

Schedule
As a college student with a flexible class schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I’m usually free before and after classes, which means your furry friend will never have to go long without attention, walks, or cuddles. Whether it’s morning playtime, midday check-ins, or evening strolls, I love fitting pet care naturally into my day — it’s honestly the best part of my routine!
