Dog enthusiast & friend
Pet care experience
I am a young woman looking to earn some extra money outside my 8-5 job in the Livingston/Washtenaw area. I would love to dog walk in the evening or provide over night stays with dogs. I work in the Ann Arbor area and can provide check-ins during my lunch break as long as the location is within a couple miles of State Street in Ann Arbor. I have grown up around dogs since the day I was born, and love spending time with them. I have almost always had a family dog, and know how to help and care from them, young and old. I have had many years of experience watching dogs. I frequently did Rover in college, dog walked for several clients, and have pet sat since I was a teen. I have cared for all dogs, big and small. I am very familiar with Golden Retrievers, as that is the kind of dog my family has always had. I have helped take care of them as puppies, or as older adults. Some of the dogs I have regularly watched are mixed breeds, Havanese, Labs, Frenchies, German Shepherds, Various Doodle’s, Grey Hounds, Golden Retrievers, and Boston Terriers. However, I do love almost all dogs, big and small, as long as I am comfortable with them and they are comfortable with me. I also have experience with cats, as I owned one for 12 years. I am not allergic and generally do not have any problems with helping watch cats as well. I have experience in managing medications that need to be taken for dogs, and have no problems about keeping a well kept schedule to make sure that they stay on track, and actually consume their medicine. I enjoy spending time with the dogs themselves, whether that's cuddling, playing, or walking them. Please let me know if I seem like a good fit for you and your dog!
Reviews
We absolutely adore Claire. She takes care of our boys and we have absolutely no worries when she is watching them. We are so thankful for her.
Claire was a heaven sent. I am so thankful to have found her through Rover. She was so willing to help out and kept us up to date through the whole process. She was so accommodating
THE BEST! She went above and beyond! If you need a dog/house sitter, your search is over! Will 100% book her again!
Claire was great and easy to work with! She made sure to take great care of my little puppy!

Safety, trust & environment
I tend to treat animals I pet sit like I do my own animals. I make sure they get attention, exercise, adequate bathroom breaks, and much more. I am always happy to discuss what routine is already in place and see how I can maintain a similar routine.
Information Claire D. would like to know about your pet
I always meet with new clients before hand to make sure the animal and I get along, and learn of any particular things about pets. I always make sure to find out if they are reactive, food agressive, particular of certain animals/people, etc. I find this to be a best practice.
A typical day
Fun activities I do with a pet depend on the animal. I have spent time playing fetch with animals, tug of war, practicing tricks (sit, sit pretty, lay down, speak, etc.), and any other games the pet may be fond of.

Availability
I work full time 8 am - 5pm. I am available for dog walking in the evening, possibly the morning depending on the location. I am also available for house sitting. I could possibly provide a check in during my lunch break, but that is dependent upon the location of the customer.
