Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Claire and I live in Historic Old Northeast St. Pete. I work from home full-time and love spending my breaks and free time outside with my pup, Sesame. We live in a very walkable neighborhood and typically go on Bayfront walks that range from 3–5 miles a day — weather permitting, of course! I have a passion for animals, helping others, and giving back to the community. In addition to having a rescue pup of my own, I’ve spent years around dogs — I grew up with them my entire life, including one who was both deaf and blind. I’ve also volunteered countless hours at a non-profit rescue in Los Angeles, walking multiple dogs at once and fostering when needed. More recently, I cared for my own dog through an intensive knee surgery and long rehabilitation process, which gave me valuable experience supporting dogs with medical needs and recovery routines. I currently offer walks and drop-in visits, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m loving and affectionate, yet firm when needed, and always respectful of each owner’s preferences. I’m happy to walk your dog solo without my own pup if that’s what you prefer. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority.
Reviews
From what I have seen, Claire is great with all dogs! Her sweet demeanor and passion for all living things certainly shines through whenever she is in the presence of my animals. You won’t be disappointed if you trusted her to care for your pups.
Claire is great with animals, our dogs absolutely love her. She has sat for both of them at different times and could not be happier with the results.
Claire is very responsible and loving. She treats our dog as her own and is very attentive to his likes and dislikes. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and at ease in their familiar environment. I always follow your specific instructions closely — whether it’s feeding routines, medication, crate time, or preferred walking routes. I take the time to build trust with each pet and approach every visit with patience, love, and attentiveness. As a lifelong dog lover and current pet parent myself, I know how important it is to have someone reliable, clean, and respectful in your space. You can count on me to treat your home and your pup with the same care and respect I give my own.
