Animal lover available for walkies and boarding
Pet care experience
I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. Of all shapes and sizes. My best friend was a Golden Retriever. Since then I’ve cared for my family rescue Greyhound and rescued King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. I’ve rented with friends, 2 having 3 spaniels between them. I’ve looked after them solo, had them board with me while they were on holiday and given them their medication, baths, walks and cuddles. I’ve also taken them to the vets when needed. I have also taken in friends dogs when they’ve been away and looked after puppies. Im at my happiest surrounded by animals. I’ve volunteered at a dog rescue in Bali for a couple of months over Xmas and New Year; rescuing dogs from the active volcano. I’ve worked with dogs with trauma, aggressive behavioural issues and lots of crazy puppies! I have a kitten who is tolerant of dogs and is under my watchful eye at all times. He also understands he may be demoted to the kitchen overnight and give up my bed if there’s a furry guest in the house.
Reviews
Clare took such great care of Peanut Butter! Clare was always quick to respond, and kindly sent many pictures of Peanut during his stay. Thank you Clare!
Clare is an amazing pet sitter, she took care of my cat really well and made sure it was happy and fed. I also really appreciate her making effort to get along with my cat and its very active character. I would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter for either dogs or cats!
Clare has looked after my Pekingese Froth on numerous occasions and I can't recommend her highly enough! Froth and I are very close and it has been difficult to find a dog sitter that he is comfortable with (he's a bit fuzzy) but then we met Clare and I could tell from the moment we met her that she would take excellent care of Froth. She's very caring and gets along amazingly well with Froth and he loves going to hers and stay when I'm travelling for work. She's also been very flexible and have been able to take him for walks or have him staying at hers at very short notice which is something we appreciate greatly! Clare is fantastic and if you need someone to look after your beloved dog for a week, a night or just to take them for a walk, she's the best person for the job!
Clare is a true animal lover from dogs and cats that she has lived with and even a tortoise. She is a caring person and always wants the best for animals of all kinds. She has been a vegan for a few years as she doesn’t believe in animal cruelty. She would make an excellent pet sitter and a true friend to the pets

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a garden flat with enclosed garden and steps up to a gate. I would never leave a dog alone outside; only with myself when off the lead. It is a safe environment but I know dogs can get themselves into trouble very quickly! I have wooden floors and good furniture but am not incredibly precious about it; definitely dog-friendly.
Home
Information Clare M. would like to know about your pet
I need to know how big your dog is and if they get along with cats. Breed and eating habits would be helpful and also how much attention they like. How long they can be left alone and also what I can do to calm them down if they get a bit anxious being away from you.
A typical day
I love walking dogs - great excuse to get out the house. I love to walk in Regents Park and around Primrose Hill. If they’re good they can come for a coffee with me or we can play in the garden. My sofa and bed are for cuddling and dog napping and they will always have a quiet place to relax.

Availability
I work from home in the week and leave the house for just a few hours in the day. I’m also around on the weekends. I have a car for any emergencies. I enjoy walking in the beautiful Primrose Hill streets and also our beautiful parks. An ex-marathon runner; I am gearing up for another so if your dog needs a run with me that would be no problem.
