Highlights
Pet care experience
Excited to be your pet’s new buddy!
Anyone who knows me knows I’m the person who immediately notices the animals wherever I go. I’ve always had a special connection with animals and love getting to find out their individual personalities. I started pet sitting for family and neighbors as a teenager and have continued caring for pets on and off ever since. I have a rescue cat that I raised from just a few days old, but he acts more like a dog most of the time. I’m obsessed with him! Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or anxious, I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and cared for. Your dogs or cats are literally family members and I’ll treat them like they’re my own!

Safety, trust & environment
I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else because I’d want the same peace of mind if it were my own. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you confidence that they’re getting the care they deserve. I’ll respect your home, follow your care instructions carefully, pay attention to the little things, and send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
Ratings and reviews
Claire has been life saving for me over the past year. She’s helped take such good care of my cat Dolce while I’ve traveled. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your beloved pets, but Claire makes me feel so comfortable. Not only is she super loving with my pet, she makes sure my house is taken care of too. My mail is brought in, the kitchen is clean after feeding the cat, and his litter is always fresh and swept up. She also sends picture and text updates which I love. My cat is always well fed and relaxed when I come home. He seems super content with her care. It’s been such a relief to have her as my go to cat sitter when I travel; not to mention the times she has come last minute when our plans have changed or flights have been delayed or canceled. I’ve seen her interact with cats and dogs and she’s equally as loving to both! I trust her with my cat and in my home; I’m so thankful to have her help!

Schedule
I’m currently in the off-season with work, which means I have a very flexible schedule during the day, evenings, and nights. Spending time with animals is genuinely one of my favorite things, so I’m excited to give your pet the attention, playtime, exercise, or quiet companionship they need. My goal is to keep their routine consistent and make them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.
