ATX Pet Care Pro ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hi, I’m Clair—a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet care professional based in Austin, TX. With over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I offer reliable, loving care that puts both pets and their humans at ease. I specialize in caring for senior dogs, reactive pups, and pets with unique personalities or medical needs. Whether your fur baby needs medication, extra time to warm up, or just lots of snuggles and enrichment, I’ll meet them where they’re at—with patience, kindness, and respect for their routine. 🐾 What You Can Expect: ✅ Calm, consistent care tailored to your pet's needs ✅ Reliable communication with regular photo updates ✅ A low-stress experience for pets and peace of mind for you ✅ Experience with multi-pet households, leash reactivity, and positive reinforcement techniques ✅ Flexible scheduling for walks, drop-ins, overnights, and adventures I believe that animals thrive when they feel safe, understood, and loved—and I bring that philosophy to every visit. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet and create a care plan that works for you and your pets. I can’t wait to meet your fam!

Not just anyone can watch our little man — he’s very unique: fears a lot of things, goes on hunger strike whenever the wind blows, and refuses to go outside if he hears a noise. Clair is so patient and understanding, and appreciates his sensitive soul. She’s had to put up with our also-quirky old Austin house. She’s a lifesaver!

Clair is amazing. She took such good care of our dog and home while we were away. Tons of pictures and constant updates. So grateful to have her take care of things while we were out!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work remotely so I am able to flexibly work with your schedule, including repeat bookings like weekly walks or drop-in’s while you are at work!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

In my client's home, I care for their pets as if they are my own. Beyond feeding and walking, I am there to make sure they are at ease, so if that means extra cuddles or more enrichment time, I'm ready to help!

Pets

A typical day

Walks, toy enrichment, training with treats, couch cuddles, supervised backyard time, and playtime are some of the ways I can keep your pet entertained while you’re away!
