Information Claire W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog takes any medication and if there are any special needs I need to be aware of while watching them.

A typical day

I’m good with active dogs as well and will make sure they get plenty of exercise. I’ll walk with dogs, play in the yard with toys, and can even run with them if that’s their thing! I also give lots of pets and enjoy just sitting with them as well and making sure they are comfortable and not anxious while in my care.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m an experienced caretaker and have pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors for 5 years. As well as many happy Rover clients for 2 years! I can stay for a week to take care of pets, as well as midday drop ins for walks and potty breaks. I’m happy to come anytime you may need my help! I have a passion for animals and love getting to know all of their different personalities.

Claire was great! She sent updates and photos every day and our apartment looked great when we got back. We had some flight issues that delayed our arrival home and Claire was super flexible staying longer than originally planned.

I have a very nervous dog, and Claire did an amazing job making him feel more comfortable while I was away for the weekend. All the updates and photos gave me peace of mind as well! My pup is a little difficult to deal with when I’m not home, and has some special instructions on how to take him to go potty, and she did a great job of listening and following any instruction given to a T!

Claire was so great! She stayed a few nights with my cats and sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell my cats felt comfortable with her and I felt relieved knowing she was there!

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.
