Pet care experience
I have been an animal lover all my life. I grew up with cats and dogs and lived on a hobby farm as a child. My strong love of animals drove me to volunteer at domestic and wildlife shelters. This eventually led to me getting a job at a local wildlife rehabilitation centre. I worked there for years as a wildlife technician where I learned about vet medicine so I am able to give oral and injectable medications. I also worked at a local rescue for senior and special needs domestic animals. I have experience with many different types of cats and dogs, including ones with special needs, and have a great understanding of animal behaviour. I rescued a reactive dog and trained him to be calm and balanced. I have worked with many other dogs as well so I can help with leash correction. I have three animals, a beautiful cat with the sweetest personality that my family adopted 18 years ago. A cuddly and loving stray cat that showed up at my doorstep 11 years ago and gentle goofy 100lb old english bulldog. These are the services I offer and what you can expect when booking with me. DOG WALKING $28 for a private 30 minute walk around your neighborhood or area within a 5 minute drive. $42 for a private 1 hour walk around your neighborhood or in a nearby area. $60 for a private 1.5 hour adventure to an off leash area. I will provide water and treats for your pup (if they have any allergies please let me know). I will always pick up your pup at home and drop them off at home after. If they get wet or dirty I will rinse and dry them off. I will fill up water bowls and feed if needed. I send a lot of cute pictures and give detailed updates and feedback. I require a meet up before hand to learn about your dog and to make sure I am a good fit. If you have any training techniques you are using please show me them and I will make sure to apply those while walking your dog. I believe in FF/R+ training. I am comfortable working with nervous/reactive dogs so if this is your dog I am here to help! And most important I will give your pup tons of love and make sure they are always safe and having a great time! DROP IN VISITS I do drop in visits for cats and dogs. This will include feeding and giving water. Cleaning litter box. Taking outside for potty. Giving medication. Or just being a friend for your pet to hang out with for a while. If you need someone to administer oral/injectable medication I can do that for you. Working as a wildlife technician I have done sub-q and IM injections. I can also give sub-q fluids. I can do nail clippings, ear cleaning and many other needs. HOUSE SITTING - IN YOUR HOME Depending on availability I can sometimes do house sitting. Please message me and I will let you know if it works for me.
Reviews
Clare is amazing! My boy Duke can be a bit nervous around people, which causes him to bark. Clare was very calm and handled his nervousness very well. She also had lots of questions about how we work with Duke and makes sure to follow our training plan. Plus, she takes Duke to all the places he loves, including the creek! I know Duke is very well taken care of when Clare is with him!
Clare did an outstanding job taking care of my dog Ace, especially with the added responsibility of administering insulin shots. Her attention to detail and genuine care for Ace's well-being were evident. I highly recommend Clare to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled caregiver for their pet. Thank you Clare!
Highly recommend Clare to take care of your pet! I was gone for a couple weeks and decided to have Clare come to my house to pick up my dog for walks every day. He absolutely loves her and it’s very evident how much she cares for your pet, like they are her own. I was confident in knowing Gunner was in great hands while I was away and she sent me lots of pics of their adventures. Clare also went above and beyond, taking him on really fun adventures and helping me out with making sure he was clean afterwards and had lots of water at home. Thanks again, so much!

I recently left my job as a wildlife technician to focus solely on dog walking and pet sitting. My schedule is very flexible so I have plenty of time for walks and drop in visits.
