Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe & happy care for your pets!
I’ve been caring for animals most of my life and have three cats and a lovable dog at my home in Washington. I’ve walked a variety of dogs—big and small—in both quiet neighborhoods and more active, dog-friendly environments. I've also provided in-home pet sitting for families, making sure their pets are safe, comfortable, and happy while they're away. Whether it’s a quick walk or extended care, I always treat pets like they’re my own. 🌟 What Sets Me Apart What makes me stand out is my attentiveness. I’m highly observant of animal behavior, and I adjust to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I understand how to read their body language and respond with calm, confident care. I bring reliability, genuine affection, and experience you can trust—whether you're looking for someone to handle a high-energy pup or a more sensitive companion.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My priority is always their comfort, safety, and happiness. I stick to their usual routines as much as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and rest—so they feel secure and stress-free. In your home, I treat the space with respect and keep things clean and tidy. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I stay attentive to any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy. If your pet has specific needs—like medications, special diets, or anxiety triggers—I follow your instructions closely and communicate regularly with updates. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can relax and feel at home. I take extra care to make introductions slowly and safely if they’ll be around other animals. I always supervise interactions and ensure each pet has their own safe space if needed
Ratings and reviews
Claire was amazing! My pup Havi liked her at our meet and greet, and his instincts were soot on. Claire had great communication, daily updates, and handled a power outage at the house with grace. If you want a mature, responsible and caring dog sitter, I recommend you select Claire. I felt confident on my international travel that Claire had it handled. And she did- including making the bed with new sheets for the next sitter. A+!
Claire is awesome and my gentle Havi loved her visit.
Claire is very responsible and cares about all pets. She has 3 cats and 1 dog and always looks out for their best interests. She has walked dogs through different organizations as a volunteer, also. She is on time, caring, and dependable.
Claire is one of the only people I trust to care for my dogs when I’m away. She’s incredibly responsible, thoughtful, and completely tuned in to each pet’s personality and needs. One of my dogs is pretty anxious, and Claire somehow always knows how to calm him down. She’s the kind of person who notices the little things and goes above and beyond without being asked. Every time I come home, I can tell my dogs have been loved, not just looked after. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets animals, Claire is the one you want.

Schedule
I’m currently working part time so I have many opportunities & hours to walk and take care of your pets. Weekdays generally align better with my schedule.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsDogs over 1 year oldClaire can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- It's really important for me to know each pet’s personality, routines, and any special needs before watching them. Things like their energy level, favorite activities, any fears or triggers, medical conditions, dietary restrictions, and how they get along with other animals or people all help me provide the best care. I also like to know their usual schedule (feeding, walks, bedtime) so I can keep things consistent and stress-free for them.
