Safety, trust & environment

I’d love to stay in your home and care for your dogs, cats, or other pets! I'm dedicated to keeping the space clean and safe, and I'm always attentive to each pet's mood and needs. I use a positive reinforcement approach and am great at creating a calm, comfortable environment, whether playing, cuddling, or just hanging out. Your pets will be in good hands with me, receiving all the love and attention they deserve!

Information Claire M. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, any health issues or medications, behavior around new people or animals, and any triggers that might cause anxiety. Also, sharing their favorite toys, activities, and training cues will help me keep them happy and comfortable!

A typical day

I’m very playful and love to bring out the energetic side of dogs, whether it’s playing with toys, running in a park, or working on new trick. I give pets lots of love and treat all pets like my own.

Pet care experience

I’ve been dog sitting since I was 16, and it’s become a true passion of mine! I've lived with dogs of all kinds my whole life—from Chows and cattle dogs to huskies, mutts, and more. I'm extremely active and love going on walks, hikes, and adventures with dogs. I’m a big believer in positive reinforcement and focus on creating a happy, stress-free experience for every dog I care for. I have experience with dogs who have anxiety, aggressive behaviors, or are a bit anti-social, and I’m a pro with puppy training, too. Whether it's playtime, exercise, or cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pup is comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Nothing scares me off—I love animals of all kinds!

Our doggie always love going and is sad when she has to leave. Claire is great at keeping us updated and sending pictures everyday. It's clear from the pictures that their dog is our dog's best friend and she loves to spend time with him.

This is Nanners second boarding stay and she couldn’t have been more excited to go see her new best friend Panda! We can’t imagine leaving her with anyone else, and will be planning all vacations around Claire’s availability from now on. Trust me, they are that good with our dog!

Claire took great care of our dog and kept sending photos of them, looking very happy and playing with their dog. She took our dog on multiple walks every day and was able to keep up with her energy. Great communication and responsiveness and she comes across as very loving and empathetic.

I highly recommend Claire for house sitting. She was punctual for our meet and greet and followed all my instructions during the housing sitting, showing great attention to my dog's needs. I appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My home was spotless when I returned. I will certainly hire her again!
