Safety, trust & environment

I cannot take pets into my home, but I’d love to take care of them at yours! I do have two cats of my own and love them to pieces.

Information Claire D. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to do my best to care for any specific special needs for your pet, but I always appreciate being shown how to do so before you leave.

A typical day

I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet already has. If that looks like walks and playtime, let’s do it! If they’re more laid back, that’s fine too! I prefer to mold the day to whatever your pet’s routine already looks like so that they aren’t overwhelmed by changes.

Pet care experience

I have done various dogsitting, catsitting, and housesitting jobs for about 10 years now. I have cared for ill dogs who have strict diets, played with labs whose energy levels don’t drop for a SECOND lol, and have snuggled with the snugglebugs. I am both a dog AND cat person, and would extend that to most other furry friends. I am local to the UWS and have relatively flexible availability. I don’t mind more than one dog - in fact, that’s my favorite. I am currently looking to take on several new clients who like the idea of a small pack walk monday-friday - different, lower pricing will be offered for this :) In addition to pet-sitting, I’m happy to take care of your home, too! I’ll be your plant’s best friend, make sure your packages aren’t stolen, and keep things tidy. I hope to meet you (or let’s be honest, your pup!!) soon!

Claire is our regular cat sitter, and takes great care of our 2 cats. She follows our instructions, always takes good pics of the kitties, and does a great job!
