Experienced rabbit caregiver 🐰
Pet care experience
I’ve had pet rabbits for the past eight years. I have also fostered them for the past four years from one to six months at a time. During my time taking care of rabbits I have learned to give oral medication as well as injections.
Reviews
Claire has thoughtfully cared for our house rabbits on multiple occasions over multiple years when we have been out of town. She is careful to ensure that they have appropriate amounts of the right balance of food (important for rabbits), fresh water, and clean litter boxes. She has also given oral medications when required (we had an elderly bunny who required them twice a day as well as bunnies who occasionally had tummy troubles and required special medicines). Because of her knowledge of rabbits, she is also capable noticing if a rabbit might be in distress and require veterinary attention, something a lot of pet sitters aren't familiar in recognizing. In addition to caring for rabbits, Claire also is also a very good house sitter. She has taken of other small "tank" pets, like fish and hermit crabs, and also is great at taking care of house plants and watering yards. If you need to have mail and/or newspapers brought in, she will do that as well. Overall, if you are looking for a petsitter/housesitter with rabbit knowledge, Claire is your person! I strongly recommend her.
Claire has provided excellent care to our rabbits for several years. She respects them as individuals -- we have one that is playful and one that is more aloof, and she interacts with both of them in a way that they are comfortable and happy. She monitors their food and water and checks to make sure they are healthy while we are away. Previously, we had a rabbit with medical issues that required daily oral medications and injections, and she capably delivered the care our fur baby needed during his illness. She observes careful biosecurity measures which are so important now with the spread of RHDV. I would recommend her as a responsible caregiver for your rabbit(s).

I have cared for rabbits with special needs and injuries in the past and will do my best to watch over your rabbit when you are away. I follow instructions very well from both owner and veterinarian. While watching over your pet I will empty litter boxes (I’ll be sure to make sure that their poops are normal), refresh water, refill hay dispensers, feed per instructions (please let me give them a few treats), and pet them (if they let me).
Information Claire M. would like to know about your pet
I know that rabbits can be a bit finicky so please make me aware of any preferences you or your rabbit have. If your rabbit needs medication or if you want me to watch their behavior or food intake/ waste output please note that as well
A typical day
If your rabbit is comfortable with me I am happy to play with and pet your bun. I often rearrange my own rabbits willow branch tunnels and cardboard boxes to enrich their environment. I’ll also hide treats around their living area if they want to forage around their space.

My answers to all the questions are related to rabbits. I’m a student currently taking a break from school for a semester. My schedule is very open and I am available almost every day after 11:00.
