Pet care experience

The best care for your best boo

I have a TON of experience caring for senior dogs, anxious dogs, dogs who pull, dogs who bark when there’s a squirrel on the TV. I have been a trusted dog-sitter and dog-walker of friends, neighbors, and family for years. The only thing I should warn you about is that your dog may love me so much they don’t want to come home!

Claire was a fantastic sitter! She took amazing care of my two golden pups. She was very responsive, sent lots of pics, and accommodating to our changing schedule. She gave my dogs lots of love and took them on lots of walks. I would definitely recommend to anyone!

I am currently on break from nursing school, so I basically have all the free time in the world for your furry critter. I start school up again in mid January, but my schedule is flexible.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a one-bedroom apartment and I don’t own a crate, because I don’t have a dog of my own. There is about 600 sq ft for your pup to play, and they will get frequent walks around the neighborhood. I also live very close to parks/dog parks.

A typical day

My pet buddy would start their day with snuggles and pets, followed by a morning walk, maybe some ball in the park, and then return home for food. We could then just hang out between walks until their next meal or if it’s time for them to go home!
