Pet care experience
I've been caring for dogs since I was a child and my next-door neighbors "hired" me to walk their terriers each week for 25 cents each. These days, I work from home as a writer and editor and set my own hours, so I have the flexibility necessary to give your fur baby lots of attention and care. I grew up surrounded by pets, and while I currently have none of my own, I am an auntie to a sweet Australian cattle dog named Oskar who keeps me on my dog-loving toes. I'm also a cat sitter and occasional shelter volunteer. My first concern is that your pup feels secure and loved, as I know that the arrival of a new petsitter or caretaker on their turf can be uncertain for them at first. I love long walks exploring new corners of nearby parks, and jogging together if that's something your dog enjoys. I spend lots of time with high-energy dogs, so I'm always down for lots of playtime, and of course, always ready to give lots of belly rubs and cuddles.
Reviews
Claire's love for critters of all stripes is immediately evident in the way she manages to seamlessly befriend every animal she meets, her pet whispering abilities and genuine concern for their well-being make her an amazing sitter which I have seen her perform as on several spectacular occasions. I would recommend her as your dog care provider without hesitation, your pet would be lucky to have her!
I have nothing but good things to say about Claire's abilities as a dog sitter! She has such a loving, caring nature that dogs seem to gravitate to her! I think they sense she is genuinely interested in their well-being and happiness. Claire is also very responsible, level headed and dependable; you can count on her. As a pet owner that is really important to me. I have a blind and deaf rescue dog, a cocker spaniel. I was lucky enough to find Claire when I needed a sitter. I never thought I'd find someone who would be sensitive to his needs and take time to make sure he was safe, happy and loved. Claire was a godsend. George, my spaniel, immediately warmed up to her and she was able to establish a trusting, caring relationship with him. He felt safe with her. When I have to go away I'm confident George is in good hands; it's such a relief! Claire loves and cares for him as much as I do! What more could you ask for in a dog sitter? She's one of a kind!
