When caring for your pet, I try to make your pets experience as stress-free as possible. I make this happen by carefully following directions & ensuring your pet gets the quality care he/she deserves!

Information Claire D. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I'd love to set up a "meet and greet" to let your pet get familiar with me & go over instructions. For extended care services, I request you leave some emergency contacts & your vet's information.

A typical day

Drop-ins: I offer both 30 minute & 60 minute drop-ins. Upon request, I can provide your pet food, water, treats, a game of fetch, a quick potty break, or just some simple pets while you're away! Walks: I offer both 30 minute & 60 minute walks. Upon request, I can provide your pup with fresh water and treats as well. I only accept dogs with good leash manners and not aggressive towards other dogs walking by! House Sitting jobs: For overnight stays, I specialize in adult dogs who are comfortable being on their own during the day and are used to a typical 9–5 routine. As much as I’d love to spend all day with your furry friend, I’m a full-time college student with classes and other responsibilities during the day, so I only accept pups who are comfortable and used to their 'pawrents' being away at work. My typical house-sitting schedule includes overnight care with a couple of midday drop-ins (30–60 minutes each) before I return for the night. Sometimes those midday visits are a bit longer depending on my school schedule… I love spending extra time keeping your dog company and occasionally getting some studying done while they relax nearby! During those midday visits, I’m happy to provide a quick potty break, a walk, a game of fetch, or simply some extra pets and company, depending on your dog’s individual needs. I’m also glad to help with household tasks upon request while you’re away, such as bringing in mail or packages, taking out garbage or recycling, or watering plants!

Pet care experience

Hello, everyone! My name is Claire and I am a local college student. My love for pet-sitting started around 7 years ago as a neighborhood pet-sitter. From there, my love and passion for pet-sitting has only grown. I have experience with a variety of animals including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, and ducks! I am open to caring for other animals as well. It is my mission to provide the best quality care for your pet, giving both you and your pet a worry-free vacation! Drop-ins: I offer both 30 minute & 60 minute drop-ins. Upon request, I can provide your pet food, water, treats, a game of fetch, a quick potty break, or just some simple pets while you're away! Walks: I offer both 30 minute & 60 minute walks. Upon request, I can provide your pup with fresh water and treats as well. I only accept dogs with good leash manners and not aggressive towards other dogs walking by! Overnight Stays: For overnight stays, I specialize in caring for adult dogs who are comfortable being on their own during the day and used to a typical 9–5 routine. As much as I’d love to spend all day with your furry friend, I’m a full-time college student with classes and other responsibilities, so I only accept pups who are already accustomed to their pawrents being away at work. My typical house-sitting schedule includes overnight care with a couple of midday drop-ins (30–60 minutes each) before I return for the night. Depending on my schedule, I may be able to stay a bit longer during the day, using that time to quietly study while your pup enjoys some calm company. During my visits, I’m happy to provide potty breaks, walks, a game of fetch, or simply extra pets and attention based on your dog’s needs. I’m also glad to help with small household tasks while you’re away, such as bringing in mail or packages, taking out the garbage or recycling, or watering plants.

We felt so comfortable leaving our doodles with Claire. She sent pictures every day and the puppies were always smiling. Awesome! 🌟

Claire did an excellent job of taking care of our cats for a week, and we loved the detailed comments and variety of photos she provided. We will definitely book with Claire again when needed!

Claire was great with our cat! She was also incredibly flexible and was available last minute which was such a help! She was also very good at communicating how our cat was doing while we were away! Would highly recommend her!

Claire was a great communicator and gave us great peace of mind while we were away that our dogs were being well cared for. She’s really kind and easy to work with. I’m so glad I connected with her and will hire her again next time.
