Safety, trust & environment

I will always check the perimeter of a fence before letting your dog out in the yard and will always supervise them. If your pet is only allowed on a leash, then I make it a point to have them secure before ever opening the door. If your animals have special feeding instructions or routines, I will follow them, as my own pets have their own unique requirements.

Information claire h. would like to know about your pet

If your pet needs special care or instructions like specific feeding times, and escape artist, weary or certain things like storms etc just let me know so I can be fully prepared to give them the best care they deserve.

A typical day

If you need me to pet or house sit, il fist make sure they need a potty brake, feeding is its meal time, adequate play and exercise time, and just spend quality time with them as they were my own.

Pet care experience

I will treat your animals as if they were my own. Pets are family, and I have cared for numerous species of animals over the years. Currently, I own a horse, a dog, and chickens. I have worked at different boarding facilities, as well as cattle ranches with more than 700 head of cattle. Additionally, I have served as a pet and farm sitter for neighbors and friends in various states. I have had a diverse range of pets throughout my life. The animals I have taken care of include dogs, cats, farm animals, chickens, waterfowl, and small animals (such as rabbits, birds, and guinea pigs etc.). I take special care to regularly check the daily health and well-being of the animals in my care, noticing even the smallest changes in behavior or the onset of illness.

Claire did a fantastic job taking care of our boys. She went above and beyond to give them affection and care while I was away. I will definitely call on her again. Thanks!

Claire is the best person to take care of your four legged best friend! With an agriculture background, being around the farm and having a hound of her own, she is no doubt trustworthy.

Claire has watched my lab puppy, Jolene, twice and we will definitely be contacting her to watch Joe in the future. She has been such a huge help in keeping my puppy active when I have long shifts at work.

Claire has watched my dog Manning more times than I can count! She always takes such good care of him and I can truly trust that she cares for him like one of her own. She’s always extremely reliable and really values communication which is so important when we’re out of town. We love Claire and will continue to reach out to her to watch Manning in the future!
