Pet care experience
My experience includes vounteering at animal shelters, obedience training exercises with dogs of all ages, and pet sitting for both cats and dogs. I also trained my last kitty to walk on a lead.
Reviews
Claire was phenomenal with my cat and dog! She was extremely attentive to detail and followed directions to the letter. My cat was so enamored by her and my dog loved all the attention she gave. She really understands dog obedience because she's consistent and rewards at the right time. Claire is so caring to them and clearly enjoys being in the company of animals. I trust her with my pets and highly recommend her services.
Claire helped watch my dog Tesla (6yo 25# mix) who is a very timid rescue and quickly became Tesla's favorite new person. She took her on long walks and helped practice good leash discipline and practiced commands at home. She provided a comfortable safe environment that Tesla was reluctant to leave when I came to pick her up and made excited little noises (usually silent) when I dropped her off.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Will give regular picture/video updates on your baby, and am generous with praise, attention, and/or basic grooming. Enforcing owner's rules is not a problem - if you say 3 treats, it's 3 treats.
Information claire z. would like to know about your pet
Prefer to Meet&Greet your pal first. Familiarity is important so I would like to use your pet's usual leash, water bowls, and toys. If your pet has any special needs or instructions, please let me know ahead of the appointment.
A typical day
Whether that's head scratches or rope tugging or ball fetching, I'm down for anything. Walks are great for thoroughly sniffing every post and tree in the neighborhood, we never know what treasures we'll find by the swing sets (and not bring home). If your cat is leash-trained, I can walk them too!

Availability
As a (shut-in) grad student, I would appreciate the company of your four-legged friend on my daily walks. Weekends are flexible since remote learning became the norm, and I could also use a furry study buddy.
