Highlights
Pet care experience
Life Long Dog Lover; Years of Caring Experience.
I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. My most recent dog was with me for 15 wonderful years, and I took care of all his needs, especially as he grew older and required extra attention due to age-related complications. From feeding, walking and bathing to providing comfort and companionship, I’ve always treated the dogs in my life like family. I’m patient, reliable and truly passionate about making pets feel safe, happy and loved.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, loving and calm environment where your pet will be treated like family. I understand how important trust is, so I always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule and any special instructions. I’m gentle, patient and attentive, especially with senior dogs or pets that need extra care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure and well-cared for at all times
Ratings and reviews
Absolutely brilliant always kept me updated and put my mind at ease would definitely recommend and use again
Claire is a truly lovely dog sitter. My dogs took to her immediately; even my slightly wary one. She gave them both excellent care, providing not just walks but cuddles, company and enrichment at home too. Claire was excellent at communicating. No reservations whatsoever about using Clare again in the future. My dogs would be delighted to see her again.
Claire has been great with my dog, Roxy. Roxy has a very gentle and calm temperament, and Claire has always treated her in a way that meets my family's high standards for our girl. During every drop-in visit, Claire made sure Roxy was fed, with water, let out, and given plenty of attention and affection. She always kept me updated and I felt completely at ease knowing Roxy was in such capable hands. I would highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a responsible and genuinely caring pet sitter.
Claire has always had a natural love and gentle way with animals, and nowhere was that more evident than in the way she cared for our beloved dog, Brodie. Brodie was a first-generation Labradoodle with a huge heart and an even bigger personality. Whether he was cheekily running off with my plant pots while Claire and I were gardening, or trying to sit on her lap despite being far too big, the two of them shared a bond that was truly special. From the day we brought Brodie home, Claire took on so much responsibility without ever being asked- feeding him, training him, brushing out his not so curly curls and taking him on long walks. As he got older and started facing health issues, she was patient, gentle and incredibly attentive. She made sure he was comfortable, gave him his medication and stayed by his side through it all. Claire is compassionate, responsible and truly treats every animal as if they’re part of the family. I would trust her with any pet, and I know Brodie would have felt the same.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time throughout the day to give pets the attention, exercise and care they need. Whether it's morning walks, afternoon playtime or evening cuddles, I make sure pets are never left without company for long. I’m also available on weekends and holidays to help when you need it most.

- Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, routines or behaviours that I should be aware of so I can make them as comfortable as possible. I’m happy to accommodate medication schedules, dietary requirements, anxiety triggers or training preferences. The more I know about what makes your pet feel safe and happy, the better care I can provide.
