Pet care experience
I've been an animal lover since a young age and started pet sitting at around 11 years old for friends and family. Growing up, my family has always had dogs and I was lucky enough to rescue a dog of my own, Finnegan. My family and I were also able to foster some dogs with a Great Pyrenees rescue. I currently work at a dog daycare and boarding facility as the Daycare Team Leader and have been there for almost 4 years. Because of this experience, I am certified in pet CPR and first aid. I have taken care of dogs from a wide range of breeds, size and ages with different needs so things like medications and specialized feedings are nothing new to me.
Reviews
Very professional and experienced. She is a genuine pet lover and it’s shows in her dedication and attention to detail. Excellent sitter and person. ??
Claire: Thank you for sending the pictures of your walks with Lilly. I know she appreciates you, as do I. Have a fabulous weekend. Missy
Ms. Kuypers will give exceptional service and love to your pets whenever they’re under her care. She’s very knowledgeable in her area of work and is always excited to learn more. When she cared for my dogs and birds while on a vacation, she asked all the right questions and demonstrated her professionalism. She is the one I always ask first when I need my fur babies (and feather babies) cared for.
Claire has provided excellent care for my cat on many occassions - both in my home and in hers. She is very patient and gentle, letting animals come to her. She is very observant and knows when something is off. After having met her the first time, both my cats are very comfortable and trusting of Claire whenever she comes over, and immediately go to her for snuggles. Her innate patience and common sense make her an excellent choice to take care of your pets in any capacity. Your pets will trust her and you can too!

I was raised with the saying "leave the location better than when you got there," so cleaning up and keeping things neat is a habit of mine. Every pet is different and each has their own routine, so my goal to to try and help keep that routine for your pet. I am experienced in adjusting to different situations and adapting to fit each pets needs to be able to properly care for them.
Information Claire K. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has any special needs, medical conditions, allergies, or behaviors that I should be aware of, please let me know so that they can be accounted for and I can help work with these things and still provide your pets with best care possible.
A typical day
Going for walks through the neighborhood is always fun with furry friends and letting them explore all the scents. There are also some parks in the area that are great to be at in the nice weather. And because I have a dog of my own, I always have plenty of toys, puzzles, and more to play and keep their minds stimulated. Picking up some fun new tricks is fun too if your dog is the type to be motivated to learn.

Availability
I currently have a job at a dog daycare and boarding facility, so I’m generally open in the mornings and early afternoon on Mondays and Wednesdays. On Fridays I’m only open in the mornings. And on Tuesdays and Thursdays I am only open in the afternoon/evenings. I have a dog of my own too, so pet care is already a daily routine for me. And because I work with dogs at my job, caring for them comes natural and I love to be around them.
