Claire came over to our house in am and pm for 4 days and gave my diabetic cat shots. At first it was a little challenging because she only done injections with dogs and my cat was unfamiliar with her. Cats are notoriously finicky so it was to be expected. She stuck it out like a champ and by 3rd visit, she got it and it was smooth sailing afterwords! I always got a bunch of pictures from her visits which was so good to see. She was always on time. I would definitely book Claire again.

I am so thankful for Claire’s help. She even stepped in for two last minute additional walks! She will always make the extra effort and provide the best update and pictures. I’ll be using her for every walk in the future without question.

Claire has been the most wonderful help taking care of my dog. She is kind, communicative, and makes such a huge effort to work on creating a relationship with my dog while I’ve been out of town. So glad I found her through Rover! Will use her as long I’m able to for walks for my pup.

Claire was great! Super attentive to Chezi and really took the time to learn about her needs and care. She came by to do a meet and greet before I left and I felt great leaving Chezi with her, even though she's never watched her before. I appreciated the daily updates. Claire clearly cares and knows how to care for animals -- cat or dog. I'd happily have her come again to watch Chezi.

Information Claire D. would like to know about your pet

These things happen and I don’t shy away from it. I may need to adjust pricing to include clean-ups though if necessary.

This depends on your dog’s level of activity and energy! I always build in time for active playing, pets, and walks. For dogs that are more low-key, I focus especially on comfort. Let me know what your dog loves to do!

Over the years I’ve cared for many cats and dogs for friends, families, neighbors, and clients in various capacities. My profile pic features Maha, a dear friend’s dog that lives with us on and off! Growing up, I helped to take care of the family dog, a medium sized Labradoodle named Lola for 7 years. Now I live with and care for me & my partner’s adorable 5 y/o Pitbull Terrier named Nova! He’s absolutely the star of the show. We’ve been training him through Sit Means Sit, have lots of play time, and go for daily walks. Through all these experiences I’ve become acutely aware of pet anxieties and picking up on body language. I have also assisted in giving oral and injection-based medications as well as muzzle training. I take instruction well, and will do whatever is required for your pet(s) to make them feel most comfortable and safe. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions - your concerns are valuable to me.
