Loving Professional Dog Walker
Pet care experience
I am a fully licensed and trained dog walker and adore housesitting. Showering your dogs with affection brings me joy. I grew up on a farm where my mom not only bred pugs and bull-mastiffs but also constantly rescued and rehabilitated animals. Not only that but she even put pugs in our cribs with us and I practically grew up as one of the pack. I even showed my pet pug myself starting at age 11. I also owned six ferrets for which I created an entire room/playpen. I am exceptionally responsible (I even have two graduate degrees), professional, and tidy. Petsitting for others allows me to enjoy the company of animals and I would love to pamper your pet. FOR DAYCARE AND WALKS: My preference is to take your dog out to a dog park or an off-leash but we can talk about options depending on your circumstances. FOR HOUSESITTING: Additionally, I would collect mail, water plants, and take out garbage/recycling as requested. In my early 20s I worked as a janitor while in college so have done plenty of cleaning and the home will be just as you left it with a happy and tired pup (and/or other animals). Speaking of which I am more than happy to care for your other critters as well. Look forward to hearing from you and have a lovely day!
Reviews
Claire did a great job. She had some unexpected news, but she powered through to take good care of my three dogs.
Claire took care of my two cats in my home for a couple of days. I felt at ease and relaxed on my trip because of the confidence instilled in me by Claire. Claire is beyond capable, and asked all the right questions when inquiring about how to best care for cats. The most important quality a sitter can have
Claire is very responsible and intelligent. She is very good with dogs and very observant about what is going on with the dogs. I would trust her with my dog any time.
Libby had a great time having Claire (& Rogue) stay with her. Libby is a special needs pup - so I'm always a little nervous leaving her - but communication from Claire was frequent and I could tell that Libby was doing just fine. I loved the many photos I got during my trip! Claire seems to have a good connection with dogs, is calm, responsible, and trustworthy.

Information Claire S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know any specific needs of your dog and especially if they experience separation anxiety and anything you know soothes them. I would also want to know the training language you use (if any) so the dog has consistent feedback, any food or medication requirements, and any specific treat needs (grain free etc). I would want to know any quirks of the home itself and anything your dog may be used to having.
A typical day
I love going on walks, hikes, and snuggling. I adore playing fetch and have gained quite a strong arm from my daily work with retrievers and labs.
