Pet care experience

Experienced Animal Lover!

I used to do this full time back in my home state and ready to start again in South Carolina! Former horse trail guide, animal shelter supervisor, and now exotic animal trainer! No animal is too big or too small for me, as I've had experience with just about every animal you can have as a pet! I am super patient with animals, whether they need a bit of extra time getting around or extra time getting their energy out! I'm extremely well versed in operant conditioning and positive reinforcement training, so puppies are not a problem for me!

Safety, trust & environment

I will respect your home as much as I would my own and follow your instructions. I'm aware that you as the owner know your pet better than me, so while I'm patient and understanding I will do exactly as you ask to ensure your own peace of mind as well as your baby's safety.

Claire is an extremely caring animal caretaker. She was a zookeeper for several years, and has several animals of her own at home including horses, dogs and cats. She is very passionate about animals and would be a fantastic addition to your team.

Claire is amazing with animals. I know she plans to dedicate her life to working with wildlife in zoos, but she’s also great with pets, having worked with many kinds over the years. She’s patient and kind and is quick to earn the trust of any animal she meets. I would trust her with any creature in need of care or a watchful eye.

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, but also any potential triggers or fears. I'll work at their pace, but to avoid any potential stress it'd be great to be aware beforehand.
