Experienced WFH dog foster parent!
Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm Claire, a longtime animal shelter volunteer/dog foster parent and young professional working remotely in the beauty industry. I've fostered and cared for friends'/family members' dogs for over 10 years, and having recently moved back to NYC from London, I'm eager to get involved in the local community and hopefully become your pet's next best friend! I have experience looking after dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs, including elderly dogs and those requiring special medical care. I have a particular soft spot for elderly dogs (like my former foster dog Elli in my profile!), but I love staying active with young and/or energetic dogs too. As a dog sitter, I'm confident in improving behavioral training, administering medicine, understanding body language/cues to ensure pet safety, and of course providing essential care including regular walks, meals, and baths. It's always my priority to make pets feel happy, safe, and comfortable in my care :)
Reviews
Claire took great care of my Coco! She was communicative throughout and was flexible with my changing schedule. Highly recommend and we will definitely book again.

Home
Information Claire S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements so I can set them up for success! I always like to have an understanding of any food allergies, triggers (e.g. loud noises, sudden movements, big or small animals, etc.), favorite treats/reward systems, and essential parts of your pet's routine.
A typical day
Adapting to your dog's physical/mental energy levels, I love to find new and exciting ways to engage any pet in my care - whether that be taking a trip to the dog park, playing with toys (especially treat puzzles/scavenger hunts!), exploring the neighborhood, or going for a run. I'm a patient walker, so if your dog wants to stop and smell the roses, best believe we're sniffing every last one until they're satisfied!
