Animal lover ready to meet your fur babies
I've loved animals my whole life. I grew up with my west highland white terrier sister and a menagerie of other pets Seeing and spending time with animals is 100% my happy place. My parents have always had Westies including a beautiful pair of sisters who made it to the ripe old age of 16. As a child and even into early adulthood I never knew a life without dogs in it. I have personally had over 26 years of being a cat owner (although I'm not sure that's not the other way round haha). My current fur baby is a very handsome gentleman who is nearing the ripe old age of 21 who loves cuddles and I have to admit is spoilt rotten ;) Since I was made redundant during the Covid lockdown I've made a life/career change to focus on things I love. As well as looking after pets, I'm now an artist/crafter specialising in pet portraits (CraftyEvey) and can sometimes be seen at the Makers Market at Trentham. I love going to Trentham because I get to steal lots of fusses from the dogs that are walking past haha. Joining Rover has given me even more of what I love – sharing my time with animals. I've had the great pleasure of caring for close to around 20 different animals so far and can't wait to meet more. Some people have said that they think I'm a dog/cat whisperer but honestly I think it's just because I'm calm and I take time for them to show me what they need. Some have been cuddle-bunnies, others were nervous and needed space and understanding. My primary focus is making sure they're happy and hopefully having such a nice time that they don't miss their parents too much. Sadly my cats haven't been without their medical issues over the years. The good news from that is that I have experience giving liquid oral medication and administering injections. I'm also quite happy handling raw meat if that's what you normally feed your pet(s) with. Whatever you need I promise you can trust me to treat them as I would my own.

Ratings and reviews
Thank you Claire for taking such wonderful care of my babies - it’s wonderful to know I can still travel and they are in the best hands . Thank you so much xx
Claire is definitely a permanent fixture in our home now 😂 and this time she’s found all Willows hiding places, after a bit of a scare when Willow tucked herself away good & proper!!! They both love Claire’s brushes & playtime, I can tell from the photos how at ease they are with her. Shes just perfect ❤️
Claire was a fabulous sitter. Feedback everyday with photos. Details of what the girls had been up to and any issues I needed to be aware of. Went out of her way to entice a nervous cat out from under the bed. Despite a nip from Bess she still gave them lots of love and attention. Definitely recommend her and will be booking again. Five stars!
Claire looked after my two cats and was absolutely fantastic. It was obvious from the photos and updates that they were happy, relaxed, and really took to her. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Claire again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and genuinely caring cat sitter🤍🤍🤍
Claire was fantastic at looking after my two kids. I received regular updates and photos. They were very happy and well looked after. Will definitely book with Claire again
Another seamless cat sitting week for Claire. My babies are always in the best hands with Claire, I wouldn’t use anyone else. Claire has such a lovely manner with them & even though they haven’t seen her for a while, they adjusted very quickly. Claire is just simply a lovely lady & puts everything into taking care of your pets ❤️

Schedule
As a self employed artist my schedule is very flexible. I need several hours per day to work on my art but the timing of that is completely within my control.
