Highlights
Pet care experience
Confident Dog Walker Available
I am very confident around dogs and other animals of most sizes. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I grew up with dogs in my family home (Irish Wolfhounds), and have regularly been around friends’ dogs and pets. On an ad-hoc basis I am relied upon for drop-in visits for a friend’s dog while they are out for the day. I also occasionally look after my mum’s dog, which either requires me to stay overnight at her house (in Somerset), or Otto comes and stays with me. Care includes, feeding, administering medication, and walks. I am able to provide this service to new and existing clients, I’ll just need access, and any care instructions provided ahead of time. I am happy to provide short walks within the local area, and drop-in visits for toilet breaks and feeding. I have recently been made redundant from my at-home marketing role, and will be starting university in the autumn. I am a mum of two young boys so I am well used to chaos. I love the outdoors and being outside.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
For drop-in visits, I will access your home using the key left for me unless other instructions are provided. I will let your dog out for a toilet break, check they are okay, and refill water bowls as necessary. I am happy to stay a little bit longer to make a fuss of your dog before I leave. I am happy also to leave your dog with food if required. For walking, I can collect your dog and walk locally. Until I build trust with your dog, I will insist on walking your dog on a lead. I will drop your dog back home afterwards, and if you are not home, I will check their water bowl before I leave.
Ratings and reviews
Claire came over to look after my dog Cece multiple times and they hit it off instantly. Cece can be a very nervous dog and I always worry about leaving her, but with Claire, I have no worries. We’re very lucky to have her help. She always shows up on time, plays with Cece and sends fun updates that really eases my mind. Highly recommend Claire to everyone.
Claire has been looking after our rabbits since 2022. She is a natural with them and we love the fact that she is so reliable and dependable. We were very grateful when she spotted one of the rabbits was looking a bit different from her usual self and was very efficient at arranging a vet visit and letting me know straight away. Claire is a great animal lover and we are very grateful that she makes herself available to care for our animals.

Schedule
I have recently been made redundant from my remote marketing position. I am a mum of two young boys, so during term-time I am committed to the school run in the morning and afternoon. Around this I am pretty flexible. During the holidays I will still be flexible but do note that short notice bookings might be declined based on childcare cover. In the autumn I am due to start university and I will update my availability in late September.
