Pet Sitting Claremont

“Hawani was a life saver! I booked her last minute and she was able to go check on my pup. Little did she know what she was going to walk into! My escape artist got out of his cage and unfortunately pooped around my apartment. Hawani was kind enough to send me updates immediately when she got into my place. And was kind enough to clean up after him even though I told her it was okay! She was also very understanding stating she understood (as he is still a pup). Throughout her booking she kept me updated and was very thorough about taking care of him! Sent me photos and videos. She also was helpful to make sure he was fully secure in his crate as he got out before she arrived. Highly recommend! Thank you Hawani!”

“Julian was great! I wanted to visit family last minute this Christmas, leaving behind 3 pets for a few days, my dog and cat, and my girlfriend’s cat. He was very playful with our pets and very cooperative annd respectful even with our lengthy requests, absolutely thankful and will definitely be contacting again!”

About: I grew up with all kinds of pets: dogs and cats, but also goats, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, geckos… These days, my house is much quieter, but my experiences growing up make me well-equipped to take care of a variety of animals now and comfortable with dogs and cats of varied dispositions. I am currently a happy cat owner, and enjoy taking care of both cats and dogs. I am a high school English teacher with the summers off, so I have a very flexible schedule through mid-August; once the school year begins, I am generally around evenings and weekends. I have experience with dogs and cats that don’t immediately trust new people and make an effort to slowly introduce myself and provide space and calming words to help ensure pets feel safe. I’m comfortable walking dogs that may be aggressive towards other dogs and people, and can comfortably guide dogs to safe spaces to ensure they and others remain safe.

“Ann was thorough and shared thoughtful updates during each of her visits with my kitty. She clearly loves animals which made me feel confident that Max was well cared for. Thanks Ann!”

“Daniel was responsive, professional, and great with our dog who can be somewhat shy. He braved the triple digit temperatures to ensure she was getting out for bathroom breaks. Highly recommend!”

“Amanda was amazing! We needed a last minute check in on our rowdy dogs and she helped us out without complaint. They had been couped up all day and we're probably extra wild but she took great care of them and communicated with us along the way. Thank you, Amanda!”

“Rachel was great with my cat! Felix has some special eating instructions and she made sure to follow them perfectly. Great communication, great updates and pics, and Felix loved her! Thanks, Rachel!”

“We reached out to Tara again for a last minute drop in as we were at all day events this whole weekend. Tara was very flexible in checking in on our little guy we totally recommend!”

“Spencer & Julia took great care of my cat and provided a ton of photos during their time with him! They offered plenty of pets, treats, and cuddles and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation!”

“Shannon was an amazing choice for a puppy visit! She kindly took care of my high energy 10 week old puppy for 30 min when I had to go to the office. She was very responsive and followed all instructions. Wrigley was lucky to have her help!”

“Samantha was great — friendly, super communicative, prompt, and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with our two cats. Would not hesitate to book her again!”

“Esther came by every Monday and Wednesday around 1 PM for 30-min drop-in visits to spend time with our two Labs, Bailey and Dakota. During each visit, she let them out in the backyard to potty, gave them their pre-prepped lunch, refilled their water bowls, and then stayed to be present with them petting, playing, and keeping them company. Because I’m in school and my parents come home later, we were very selective about choosing a sitter. We don’t like our dogs to be alone for more than 3-4 hours, and from the moment we met Esther, it was clear she was the right fit. Esther has a genuinely warm, affectionate energy with dogs that can’t be faked. When we first met her, her focus was immediately on the girls….touching them, playing with them, and engaging with them naturally. It never felt like “just a job.” She clearly loves being with the girls, and that showed from day one. She was always reliable and honest. Esther consistently showed up on time, and on the rare occasion traffic delayed her, she let me know immediately with an exact estimate then stayed the extra time to make up for it. She followed all instructions exactly as shown and prioritized the most important tasks like water, lunch, and potty breaks, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. Her honesty really stood out to me as well; she once took responsibility for a broken light bulb, even though I was fairly sure the girls had caused it while playing. Her willingness to take responsibility, even for something small, spoke volumes about her character and made me trust her even more. Esther was also excellent at respecting the girls’ boundaries and communicating clearly. She always checked in if something unusual came up and asked before taking action. For example, when Bailey tried to steal Dakota’s Kong, Esther asked if it was okay for Bailey to have it. When I said no, she calmly handled the situation, told Bailey to leave it, and removed the Kong, later explaining exactly what she did. That kind of attentiveness and follow-through mattered a lot to me. I noticed positive changes in the girls while Esther was caring for them, especially Bailey, who seemed calmer and less anxious. The girls clearly grew attached to her; on one day when I canceled a visit because I stayed home, they waited by the window around the usual time Esther would arrive, clearly expecting her. She also consistently sent photo updates and let me know how the visits went, flagging any issues rather than glossing over them. She was always responsive when I checked in. Esther was professional and respectful of our home, and she was also very understanding when plans changed. Even when I had to cancel a visit on short notice due to an unexpected vet appointment, she was gracious and kind, simply responding that it was no problem. I would absolutely rebook Esther and plan to do so next semester in January. I sincerely hope we fit into her schedule after winter break. She earned my complete trust, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and genuinely thoughtful dog sitter. Thank-you, Esther!”

“Dani did a great job taking care of my senior kitties. She was very mindful of making sure one got his blood pressure meds on a consistent schedule.”

“My cat Hannah was well taken care of and in good hands while I was away! Lisa gave great drop-in visits and left Rover cards to keep me updated. Thanks for a reliable service!”

Bryce J.

“Kristina was amazing with my 8-month-old kitten! My little furball can be a mix of sweet and mischievous, but Kristina handled her like a pro. She took great care of her, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and made sure everything was just right at home. When I got back, my kitten looked happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little disappointed that her new best friend had left! It’s clear Kristina gave her plenty of love and attention. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and great with pets, Kristina’s the one to call. Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer did an amazing job taking care of both of our cats! She provided daily updates with photos and even found the cat dental mouthwash in our laundryroom that we had purchased a long time ago, but forgot to put in the water (one of our cats was diagnosed with a serious case of gingivitis right before we left, and I was very stressed out about it). Jennifer played with our shy kitties and gave them lots of attention. She provided daily feedback about the cats' well-being.”

“Lucinda is a joy. My puppy Piper always seems so happy in the photos when she visits, and I can tell Piper is in a good mood when I get home from work.”

Mackenzie S.

“She sent pictures as well as all updates while she was over watching my cat. Answers all communication fast. I would definitely rebook with her!”
