Safety, trust & environment

I provide personalized, attentive care for your pets. I’m comfortable administering medications and strictly following any care instructions you provide, so you can feel confident your pet’s health and routine are in good hands. Whether it’s a refreshing walk, playtime, or simply companionship, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

Information Claire K. would like to know about your pet

Before our first visit, I'd love to know as much as possible about your dog's routine, personality, and preferences. Please let me know about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, dietary restrictions, triggers, fears, or behavioral concerns. I also appreciate knowing how your dog reacts to other dogs, strangers, children, bikes, squirrels, or other common distractions during walks. Please share any commands your dog knows, favorite activities, potty schedule, feeding instructions, and anything else that helps me provide the best care possible. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible.

A typical day

A typical day depends on your pet's needs and routine. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. For dogs, I can provide walks, outdoor time, and enrichment activities based on their energy level. For cats and other pets, I spend time interacting with them, cleaning litter boxes when needed, and making sure they are comfortable while you're away. During dog walks, I focus on providing safe, enjoyable exercise tailored to your dog's pace and preferences. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely neighborhood stroll or a more active walk, I strive to make each outing both fun and enriching. I know how important updates are when you're away, so I provide photos and detailed visit summaries to keep you informed and give you peace of mind. My goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while maintaining as much of their normal routine as possible.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Claire! I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life and have pet sat for family and friends for years. I’ve also done training classes with my own pets, so I’m comfortable handling pups with all kinds of personalities. I’m currently in grad school and love using walks as a way to take a break from studying. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own!

I have known Claire Kemp her whole life and she is considered a second daughter. She is so caring, kind, compassionate, considerate and very competent snd reliable. She has been a pet lover since her family adopted a stray cat then got their first dog Buck and then their current family dog Leila. She has a special connection with all family pets and it’s very obvious she has unconditional love for them. Those who are fortunate to have Claire care for their family pet will know the first time they meet her that their pet will be cared for as if it were her own. Please give Claire this opportunity and you will be as proud of her as I have always been. Thank you! Shari Martin

I wholeheartedly recommend Claire for all of your dog walking/watching needs! Claire is one of the most responsible, caring, and patient individuals, especially when it comes to animals. Claire is great with both high-energy pups who need lots of play or a good walk, or an older dog who just needs some cuddles and attention. You won’t find someone more compassionate and thoughtful to care for your dog.
