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!

Information Clare D. would like to know about your pet

Please Iet me know if your dog has any special needs, like medication, any special personality quirks, or anything else so I can prepare properly ahead of time.

A typical day

Every pet has their own personality, so I first have to get to know them before that is so easily decided. Some pets do want a lot of companionship, others prefer more alone time. Some the activities have to be catered to their needs and personalities.

Pets

Animals are my therapy.

Pet care experience

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.

Clare was fantastic. She was diligent and did a great job of giving us routine updates. I definitely recommend her!!

Clare is amazing! She was available short notice to stay with our 2 dogs and cats. Clare clearly communicated daily and sent great pictures. She followed all of our instructions and was great with each individual animal. Even our kitty who stays away from everyone came out to cuddle. They all felt loved! She also left our house in great condition. Even cleaned the food area for the animals (washed the food and water bowls out). We were so thankful to not have to worry about our home and our furry family while gone. Will definitely book again soon!

I currently work with Clare and I can recommend her for her work ethic. She is always here on time and if something comes up, she gives us a call in advance to let us know.

Clare was very calm and gentle with my new dog that I had just adopted. My dog is very nervous since I recently brought her home and she is still getting used to things. If she is available, I definitely plan on using her again!

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.
