Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pets' new best friend
Hello, my name is Claire. I have been lucky enough to grow up surrounded by dogs and cats, and have pet sat many times for friends and family. Because of this, I have learned to care for animals at every stage of life. My experience ranges from command and walk training for puppies, to adhering to a regimented medicine routine for senior dogs, to doing daily playtime and pet waste clean-up. I am very tidy, organized, and am happy to adapt to you and your pets' needs. I also love to spend time outside, so I can promise plenty of walks and safe outside time for your pet. I'm excited to meet and care for your furry friend!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
While I do not offer boarding pets in my home, I am happy to do home visits that adhere to your pets' routine. I will respect what time they typically eat meals, wake up, play, go outside, and walk, as well as where they sleep in your home. I will also ensure that your home is kept clean during my stay.
Ratings and reviews
Claire is my favorite pet sitter for my two boys. Bats and Bottles love her and I refer to her as Aunt Claire when I talk to them, though they don't know what I'm saying (english is their second language, purrsian being their first). They perk up when they see her and she is one of few people in the world that gets to see the affectionate side of my oldest cat. She has always been diligent with their care and keeping me in the loop when I am away. Having had poor pet sitters in the past, Claire is a godsend for my boys and for my nerves. I am so grateful to have her!
We can’t recommend Claire highly enough! She has been pet sitting for our family for several years. She lovingly cares for our senior Goldendoodle, Izzy, and our 3-year-old cat, Gershwin, while we are away on extended vacations, weekend get-aways, or overnight stays. We always feel completely at ease knowing they are in her care. Claire is wonderful with both of our pets. She makes sure Izzy got her regular walks, lots of attention, and plenty of love, while keeping our cat’s litter box clean and making sure he is happy and well cared for. She is also incredibly thoughtful about our home, taking care of the garden and keeping everything in great shape while we travel. Claire is responsible, caring, trustworthy, and clearly treats the pets she watches as her own. Coming home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a tidy home makes all the difference. We feel very fortunate and would happily trust Claire with our pets and home again!

Schedule
I am a graduate student at the U of Minnesota, but I will have time outside of class for your dogs. I am most available to stay over on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights, as well as Wednesday and Friday during the day. On weekdays, I will be out for several hours at school in the middle of the day, but will be available for drop in visits or walks during the morning and late afternoon.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsClaire can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Let me know if your pet has any disabilities, behavior issues, has frequent bathroom accidents indoors, is a tugger during walks, or needs medication, please let me know. I am willing to care for animals with different abilities and behaviors. My only non-negotiable is if you have a large adult dog who regularly bites, I am not comfortable caring for them. Other than that, I am happy to accomodate!
- These prices are for 1 dog.
