Love for all dogs' individual needs

Pet care experience

I am an extremely kind, conscientious, and passionate pet caretaker. When caring for someone else's pet, my priority is to tailor my interactions with the pet to best suit their temperament and preferences, as well as their parents' preferences. This means I'm open to any type of individualized care that a pet needs- whether it's sprinting around the neighborhood, practicing basic puppy manners, or just sitting with elderly or nervous pets. On top of caring for my family's small zoo ever since I was little, I also have 6 years of professional experience caring for boarded pets and hospitalized patients at a Veterinary Medical Center. Through this experience I have learned a great deal about caring for animals with all kinds of temperaments, whether they are calm, hyper-active, fearful, or grumpy. I also have experience in caring for geriatric pets, giving medications, and handling an emergency appropriately. I am extremely flexible in what type of care is needed for someone's pet in terms of both schedule and services requested and I will even text cute pictures to their parents! Overall, I would love the opportunity to care for any and all pets.

Clare is an outstanding dog sitter. She loves animals and I definitely will not hesitate to recommend her to my friends. She helped take care of my puppy quite regularly until he’s about 8 month old. She tailored her pet sitting activity based on the dog personality and needs on that day (e.g. lots of walk if the dog seems energetic, indoor activity for rainy day, teaching new commands to give him some brain exercise). Clare would even prepare treats for the next day (KONG stuffed with cookies and peanut butter), leave me a note about how the dog activities/ behavior that day, and share with me any practical suggestions about good brand for dog chewy treats, how to do nail trimming safely and such. She also always keeps my place organized and clean before she leaves. The way Clare does her pet sitting is really exceeded my expectation. My puppy and I are so lucky to have a chance to meet her! Thank you, Clare.

Clare is the best dog sitter! She always takes time to give your dog the attention and love they need while you are away. Her care is for your dog is superb.

Clare has taken care of my puppy, Mowgli, on many occasions. She is the best pet sitter ever! He absolutely loves her and she has plenty of energy to keep up with him. She always keeps me well updated on what he's up to, and I am very comfortable being away knowing that she is there taking care of him. She takes care of Mowgli like he is her own, and she is the only one I go to if I need help with my pup!
