Information Claire T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet(s) have any special needs or anything else that could effect the sit. I’m happy to discuss what they need and are comfortable with.

A typical day

I spend time playing, cuddling, loving, and enriching them when inside and then playing outside and going on walks to get in exercise and release any pent-up energy.

Animal Lover/Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Claire, and I have been pet sitting in the Cedar Valley area for 10 years now! A little bit about me is that I have 2 senior cats, Milo and Charlie, and I grew up on an acreage surrounded by dogs, cats, and chickens. In my spare time I like to read, spend time with family/friends/pets, craft, care for my plants, and enjoy nature. When it comes to pet sitting, I started with drop-ins/walks for friends and family in high school, and eventually added overnight in-house stays. My passion for pet sitting comes from the desire to help the many pets that experience stress when they are boarded. I also want to ease the anxiety that pet parents experience when they're separated from their fur babies. I am determined to provide professional and compassionate pet care to help ease the stress of pets and pet parents alike! Also, I LOVE taking pictures of pets, so get ready for daily updates with plenty of pictures!

Our dogs love Claire! We feel at ease knowing she’s taking good care of them. She is a great communicator and we appreciate how she keeps in touch with frequent updates (and pics).

Claire was the perfect sitter! She is professional and a great communicator. We were out of the country and felt completely at ease knowing she was with our two dogs. She kept in touch daily with updates and pictures. When we got home, we could tell the dogs (and our house) were well taken care of. She also proactively offered to stay longer, knowing a snow storm was on the way that may delay our travel. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing a long-term sitter.

Claire is amazing! Even my antisocial dog loves her. She keeps in contact and is also happy to send me pictures and videos while I'm away, which I really appreciate.

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.
