Outgoing, friendly, loves animals

Pet care experience

I am very responsible. I have watched children for over ten years and I know that these pets are practically children to their families. I understand how important animals are to their owners and families because I have had dogs and cats of my own and know how much love and attention they need. I will love the dogs like they are my own and will do my best to recreate a great day as if they were with their owners while making sure they get the exercise and care that they need and deserve. I love all animals and hope to be your next sitter! I live in Newington currently, and have a car, can't wait to meet you! Contact me and we will work out a schedule!

Claire was wonderful! My dog has medications he takes throughout the day and she gave them all on time. She provided updates throughout the day and kept everything clean - will book again.

Claire was great! We received wonderful pictures and updates every day. Would highly recommend her! Thank you so much for caring for our fur babies.

Claire was a fantastic sitter for our lab, Chief! She sent photos every time she was with him and we felt fully at ease having her take care of him. He can be shy around strangers but he took a liking to Claire immediately and she even let him cuddle up in her lap for a nap. We will definitely reach out to Claire for any of our future dog-sitting needs!

I love to take the dogs out for walks, we get to both get our exercise in for the day! Please let me know if they have any favorite toys or parks you’d like to me take them to and we will have a great time! For cats and any other animals, I know they need attention and love and I’ve never met a cat who can resist a laser pointer

Information Claire K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animal has any special needs or medications to take, I am comfortable accommodating as long as I know their schedule ahead of time, I’ll gladly come meet you before your actual stay so I can see their routines!

A typical day

I love to go on walks with the dogs, we will typically play fetch or tag! For the younger pups I love to bring things for them to play with that will help them with their coordination. For the older dogs, I love to take them in a leisurely walk through the park and enjoy some cuddles on the couch with their favorite toy
