I am very respectful and I like to give time for animals to get to know me, to see that they can trust me. Once your pet is at ease and happy with me I can offer as much love as they like. I also take care in the homes of others to ensure that things are left as I found them. I am clean and careful.

Information Claire I. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know what your dog really enjoys doing, What kind of personality they have, what their favorite toy is. Their dislikes and fears so I can make sure they are happy and relaxed. Of course any additional things i should know about in terms of their needs.

A typical day

Depending on the dog, I would have a chat with the owner about what they'd like in terms of care. I would usually take them for a long walk in a local green-space. Play some fetch and run about.

Experienced Pet Sitter for Hire

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Claire and I’ve cared for animals my whole life. Capable of looking after dogs, cats and other animals. As a child I was taught how to best provide care for our pets, cats and dogs. I would take responsibility for both and loved doing so. I’ve been consistently pet sitting for the last 3 years. I can work with young animals with lots of energy as well as older pets. I can administer medication and help with any additional needs. I have a 5 star rating on the Cat in a Flat app. I’m joining Rover as I would like to help care for dogs as well as cats. I have been a dog walker for neighbours over the last 5 years. I’ve just relocated to the Abbey Hill in Edinburgh and would love to build up a regular client base. I am out and about at Holyrood Park most days. All the best to you and your furry friends! Claire xx

Claire is a great sitter! Our dog had a great time with her. She was communicative in the booking process and was so willing to spend the time to get to know us and our dogs routines etc. and sent us lots of updates when she had him. Thank you!

Claire did a great job taking care of Belle. I received lots of updates, photos and videos. She went on plenty of walks and play time. Belle is a rescue dog and, although she has come a long way, she still has some fears, and Claire was patient with her and tried to help her feel comfortable when they arose.

Claire was absolutely fantastic looking after Millie at short notice when we booked a last minute holiday! She worked around Millie’s strict diet due to being diabetic and handled her insulin injections like a champ. Will definitely be booking with Claire again and would 100% recommend.

Claire was great with Rev. I felt secure knowing he was in good hands.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
