Pet care experience

Animals are my therapy.

I have a very calming, peaceful and patient nature. I let an animal approach me when they are ready. I start with appropriate treats and see how they react to me in order to build a relationship.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home I have two dogs. I take them out twice a day for walks. They get plenty of belly rubs and kisses. One sleeps with me in my bed and is kind of my therapy dog, and he knows it!

Clare was great with Archie - she was very flexible and communicated often with me about how he was doing. Thanks, Clare!

Clare was phenomenal with Bennie! We left Bennie in great hands with college drop off happening and she was amazing. She took time prior to the sitting to meet with us and Bennie. She immediately won him over and we were able to discuss all things dog related and some other non dog related. She had great questions and her communication is outstanding. She watched Bennie in our home and was a great guest as well. We wanted someone who felt like family and she definitely made it happen. I will be using Clare in the future and highly recommend. Bennie definitely approved as well.

Clare did a great job caring for our three dogs! We don’t leave them often and I’m a bit of a helicopter dog mom, but she tolerated me very well! She’s punctual and responsive to messages. Made me feel very comfortable about leaving the pups. Will definitely ask her to keep our dogs again!

Schedule

I work part time various days during the week. Sometimes I work during the day, sometimes I work in the evening/night. It is mostly on weekends that I work in the evening/night. My day shifts start at 11 and end at 3. My evening/night shifts start between 3-5. The longest I am away at night is 6 hours, of course the earlier I start the earlier I leave. I try to accommodate everyone’s needs as best as possible. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to work and give loving care and exercise to my dogs on a daily basis with the support of my family with all of us pitching in. As well as enjoying other things than work such as travel, reading, riding my bike, getting together with friends, and more. But at the end of the day, there is nothing like just being able to spend some quality time with my fur babies.
