Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a familiar and comfortable environment for them. In a client’s home, I maintain their regular routines as closely as possible, from feeding and walks to any specific care needs or commands they’re used to. I can also provide updates and photos to keep owners reassured and informed

Information Claire P. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to know about any specific needs, medical conditions, routines, favorite activities, dietary restrictions, and personality traits, like fears or triggers. This helps me provide tailored care and ensure their safety and comfort!

A typical day

I love engaging pets in activities that suit their personality and energy level! For high-energy dogs, I plan interactive games like fetch, tug-of-war, and I could take them on long walks/runs too to burn off energy!

Pet care experience

I currently work a part-time job during the day, but my schedule is usually very flexible, especially with enough notice. I do my best to accommodate different scheduling needs and can often work around my existing commitments. Feel free to message me with the dates and times you’re looking for, and we can figure out a schedule that works well for both of us. I’m always happy to communicate and find the best arrangement for you and your pet! I truly love animals and always miss my furry friends while I’m away from home. I grew up with two dogs and a cat, which sparked my passion for caring for pets of all kinds. I have experience working with dogs of every size and temperament, from high energy puppies to low energy seniors and even giant breeds. Growing up around dogs taught me how to read their body language and respond with patience and care. Whether it’s providing extra playtime for an energetic pup, supporting a senior with special needs, or helping a timid dog feel safe, I approach every dog with compassion and adaptability. I also love caring for cats just as much…from playful kittens to independent seniors. I understand their unique personalities and the importance of gentle, respectful interaction. Whether that means giving them space, offering enrichment, or simply providing calm companionship, I make sure every cat feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

Claire was amazing! She had really good communication. She gave good updates about his walks and sent the cutest pictures! I know Beanie was very, very happy and tired out because Claire took him on super long walks which are one of his favorite things. We will definitely rebook with Claire again!!

Claire has been wonderful walking our two large, rambunctious dogs. She is amazingly patient and gentle with them. They always return from their walks happy and tired, just the way we like them.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
