Safety, trust & environment

I have experience crating dogs, being with them out in the yard, or just in the house. It’s up to you how you want me to spend the time with them, but I’d prefer to be with them the whole time! I can take long walks, play in the yard for a long time or I can just cuddle with your pet or give them their space if that’s what they prefer.

Pet care experience

I have always loved taking care of and spending time with all sorts of animals. I have personally trained two of my own dogs and have helped out with training for friends and family. I have walked and exercised dogs of all ages and sizes. I have raised puppies and kittens from birth and am very experienced with care before and after birth for the moms. I have taken care of reactive dogs and have dealt with many aggressive of leash dogs.

Clare was a great communicator and followed through with all my requests. Clare sent photos of Mika, including updates throughout her stay. Clare has a great demeanor, and Mika warmed up to her right away. We highly recommend Clare!

Clare is The Best! As tempting as it is to gatekeep someone this amazing, it would be a disservice not to share how incredible she is. Clare is everything we could ask for in a dog sitter, kind, trustworthy, responsible, experienced with large and small dogs, and is someone dogs naturally gravitate toward. She asked thoughtful questions about our dogs’ routines and followed every detail to a tee. While we were new to house sitting versus boarding, Clare made the entire experience seamless. She arrived right on time, asked what we were comfortable with, stayed longer to keep the dogs company, and even gave our energetic dog a nice, long walk. Our older dog isn’t the easiest to care for these days. He’s grumpy, wears a diaper, and needs a little extra patience, but Clare handled it all with compassion and grace. Our younger dog ate grass before we left so she wasn’t eating and threw up a couple times. We were grateful Clare told us what happened and handled the situation. It’s comforting to know we can trust her judgement and she will tell us if something is going on in the future! She truly cares for animals and treats them as her own. Having just moved to the area, we were nervous about finding the right person we can trust and count on. We’re thrilled to say Clare is now our go-to sitter, as long as she’s around and will have us! 🧡 Thanks Clare! Loki, Leia, and the Hayes fam
