HUGE dog lover of any/all breeds
Pet care experience
I currently live in Ballard and have had the privilege over the past 8 years spending time outdoors with my late golden retriever, Bentley. We enjoyed going on hikes, walks, and trips to the dog park! Before his passing, he was a very sweet and playful boy who I trained to be gentle with many different types of dogs and breeds. He struggled with epilepsy for almost 4 years so I can confidently say I know the level of dedication it takes to care for dogs with special needs and follow specific routines with an animal's best interest at heart. I would be an excellent match for your families pets because I am a huge animal lover and very responsible. I am a trust-worthy person and you will know that your dog is in good hands. Check my profile out and book with me whenever needed! I have a very open schedule so last minute bookings for me work 99% of the time.
Reviews
Claire was wonderful! She was very responsive and communicative, always sending my partner and I updates and photos of Vesper to put us at ease. She was also super easy going and accommodating to our schedule when our trip was unexpectedly extended last minute and was able to watch our dog for an extra few days. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter and I’ll definitely be using her services for boarding again!!
Claire was communicative and gave our dog (and home) excellent care while we were away. I can't recommend Claire enough – extremely trustworthy and competent. Upon returning home, our dog was the most relaxed that we've ever seen him after being away – almost as if our absence was a non-event. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future when our needs call for a pet and home sitter. Thank you, Claire!
Claire watched our two dogs and house sat for us for a week during the holidays. Claire was kind, communicative and professional and made us feel very comfortable with her staying in our home to watch our dogs. Claire followed our instructions with the dogs, taking them out for walks consistently and making sure they received attention throughout the stay. We also received pictures and updates every day throughout the visit, which we appreciated. The day before we were supposed to fly home, our flight was cancelled and we were forced to make a change in plans. Claire was super flexible and changed her own schedule to make sure our dogs were cared for during our delayed return home. When we got home, the dogs were well taken care of and the house was spotless. We were so grateful for her help and we will definitely be reaching out to Claire again in the future!
Claire did a great job taking care of our dogs for 2 weeks. One of our dogs was only 4 months old, so we Claire's communication kept us at ease. I would recommend Claire to take care if your furry friends. She seems to genuinely love dogs
