Highlights
Pet care experience
I am a dog loving marine biologist
I’ve had dogs in my life for over 10 years, which has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. From playful puppies who need training and structure, to senior dogs who require patience, gentleness, and sometimes extra medical attention, I’ve developed a strong ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I don’t just look after pets, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive to small details, like feeding routines, exercise preferences, and any quirks that make a pet special. My long-term experience also means I’m confident handling unexpected situations calmly, whether that’s managing high-energy walks, administering medications, or easing anxiety in nervous pets.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and secure. This includes following their regular feeding schedule, making sure they get plenty of exercise, providing potty breaks, and giving them lots of playtime and affection. I also make sure their space stays tidy, whether that’s cleaning up after meals, wiping paws, or keeping toys organized. During house sitting or day care, I give pets plenty of attention and companionship so they never feel lonely, and I’m attentive to any special needs like medications or extra walks for high-energy dogs. For drop-in visits, I make the most of the time by ensuring they get bathroom breaks, active play, and cuddles before I go. On walks, I prioritize safety and fun making sure dogs get the exercise and mental stimulation they need while keeping a close eye on their comfort and surroundings.
Ratings and reviews
Claire is very reliable and responsible, she looked after my two pups and won over my stubborn pup. I highly recommend her..
Claire's fantastic, reliable and accommodating. I had zero worry or concerns about Buster while I was away.
Claire was a great sitter, she took care of my two cats while I was away. I highly recommend her and would use her again.
Claire was great and very accommodating to my very anxious doggo!
Got it 😄 here’s a short, playful, 5-star version: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Claire was amazing with our Mylo! She followed all of his daddies’ very specific (ok… slightly neurotic 😅) instructions perfectly and kept us smiling with great photos and updates. Mylo was clearly happy, relaxed, and totally loved. We would book Claire again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! 🐾💙
We can not say enough about Claire as a pet sitter! Claire loved & cares for our dog, like he was her own. We've used Claire to take care of our poodle several times, she recently watched him for 9 days when we were on vacation. We came home to a house tidy & a very happy dog.

Schedule
As a master’s student at Nova Southeastern University, my schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I have cheer practice in the evenings, but outside of that commitment, I’m available most of the day and week. This flexibility makes it easy for me to fit in walks, drop-ins, playtime, and any other care pets may need, while also ensuring I can provide consistent attention and companionship.
