Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Dog & House Sitter
I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have always had multiple dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve dog sat and house sat for multiple families, handling everything from daily walks and feeding schedules to overnight care and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’ve also worked closely with a professional dog trainer, which has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, structure, and how to handle different temperaments. Including high-energy dogs and those that need a little extra patience and attention. I’m experienced with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable with things like basic training reinforcement, administering medications if needed, and adjusting care based on each dog’s individual needs. In addition to pet care, I’m extremely responsible, respectful of your home, and detail-oriented. I have experience in house management as well, so I’m happy to help keep your home tidy, bring in mail, water plants, and make sure everything is in order while you’re away. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while giving you complete peace of mind.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine and environment. I’m experienced with overnight stays and house sitting, and I make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with crating if needed, administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adjusting to each dog’s individual needs. I provide regular walks, playtime, and can take dogs to nearby parks. I’m also attentive to behavior and energy levels to make sure your pet is both happy and comfortable. I’m very respectful of your home and treat it with the same care and attention I would my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to help with additional tasks around the house. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands!
Ratings and reviews
Claire was wonderful house sitting for our dog Bowser while we were at our wedding. She was very responsive to any messages and made our very anxious dog feel comfortable. Would 100% use her again if we needed someone to watch our dog!
Claire did a great job staying with my small dog in my home for 3 nights. My dog was a bit sad and reluctant to eat while I was gone, but Claire helped her through with lots of love.
Claire was wonderful! She is thoughtful and detailed in her pet care. Claire was trustworthy and respectful of my home during her overnight stay. My reactive/high anxiety small dog was very comfortable with Claire.
Claire was amazing to work with - when I sent in a last minute request for dog walking, she was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She sent a photo after the walk and made sure to give us a status update which was much appreciated. Highly recommend!
Claire is actually the best person ever I swear. I’m obsessed with her and so are my animals. Peanut is a full blown Great Dane and he loses his mind every time she walks in like it’s his favorite day ever. And my three cats love her too which is insane because they hate everyone. She just has this way with animals you can’t fake. I never stress leaving them with her because I know they’re getting so much love and attention. I come home and everyone is happy, calm, and honestly probably a little sad it’s me and not her. I trust her with all my babies!!!
Claire has watched our dog a bunch of times when we’ve gone away for the weekend or down the shore, and she’s always been great. Our dog loves her and gets excited every time she comes over, which says a lot. She’s reliable, easy to deal with, and clearly cares about the dogs she’s watching. Every time we come back, our dog is happy and the house somehow looks cleaner than when left it 10/10

Schedule
I currently have very open availability and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs! I’m available 24/7 for bookings through May 11th, which allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day and night. Starting May 11th, I will be working part-time, but I will still have strong availability for pet care and house sitting, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care!
