I work remotely full-time, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give your pet consistent attention, care, and companionship. Whether that’s relaxing with them, playing, or getting them out for walks and exercise, I make sure their routine stays as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m active and enjoy being outside, so I’m happy to keep your pet engaged with regular walks and fresh air. I’m very clean, respectful, and mindful of the homes I stay in. I understand that inviting someone into your space requires trust, and I take that seriously. I keep things low-key, organized, and leave your home exactly as you left it. If I stay overnight, I’ll wash any used sheets and remake the bed before I go. I also bring my own food and keep cooking in your home to a minimum. I’m comfortable working in a range of home environments and always aim to make the experience feel easy, seamless, and stress-free for you. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I’m happy to connect and make sure it’s the right fit for you and your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I work from home on my computer doing recruiting (mostly phone calls) so will be with your pet the entire day. I will play with them as I work and make sure they feel secure. If I leave for more than 2-3 hours I will inform you of it. You can let me know if your pet is social or not. I always go for multiple walks a day to make sure that the right amount of exercise is happening because it is so important for their health. I take direction well so if your dog doesn’t interact with others we avoid people and other dogs on our walk.

Information Clare M. would like to know about your pet

I keep on track with their schedules, eating habits, medication if needed and at what time. You let me know how the day goes typically and I’ll stick to it! I am open to both dogs and cats and beyond! Please let me know your animal needs and I will accommodate you! I love animals and being able to give my quality time to others while I work at home is a joy.

A typical day

We will be getting a lot of exercise, play and walks. You let me know the intensity of the activities your pet needs and I'll match it. I've been with very low energy animals, some with hip problems that limits mobility and requires patience, and other very high energy animals that need more attention and constant stimulation.

Pet care experience

🐾 I Work From Home – Your Pet Gets My Full Attention! Hi there, I work remotely full-time as a recruiter, which means I’m home throughout the day and able to give your pet consistent attention, care, and companionship. I’ve been pet sitting for about 7 years on Rover and genuinely enjoy it. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m very reliable, easy to communicate with, and respectful of both your pet and your home. I understand that trust is a big part of this, and I take that seriously. Whether it’s a dog, cat, rabbit, multiples of each or beyond, I am happy to help you out. Being home all day allows me to be able to give your pet lots of love, attention, and quality care throughout the entire sit. Peace of Mind – What You Can Expect: •I only watch one dog or cat at a time (unless they’re from the same household), so your pet gets one-on-one care and attention. •Litter boxes will be cleaned daily. •I’m very responsive and treat your pet like my own. •I understand puppy care and know that unvaccinated pups should avoid other animals. •Comfortable giving medication or special care if needed. •I’ve taken pets to the vet when necessary and will keep you fully in the loop. •I help ease separation anxiety with patience, attention, and lots of play! •Love senior dogs and will go at their pace, if they need to be carried or have special needs I will accommodate that. •You can let me know of any special behavioral or physical concerns I’ll work with you and your pet. I would rate myself as a highly responsible, trustworthy, empathetic person that loves animals! 🦴 Walks & Outings: •I prioritize taking your dog out first thing in the morning and just before bed so that they are happy and comfortable. •I never let pets off-leash. •I avoid other dogs/people on walks, even if they seem friendly, safety first! •I stick to your pet’s usual walk routes and routines, unless you say otherwise. ****My #1 priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and stress-free while you are away. 📸 Communication: •You’ll get my personal number for easy updates. •I’ll send you daily photos, videos, and updates. •If anything is off, you’ll hear from me right away – no guessing or waiting. Medications: I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience with a range of needs, including pills, topical treatments, and eye drops. I understand how important timing and gentle handling are, especially for senior animals or pets with anxiety. I always follow your instructions carefully and make sure your dog or cat feels safe and supported throughout the process. I’ve gained a good amount experience with this and am very throughout if this a step in your pets routine. I’ll stick to your instructions. 🌟 A Few More Things: I’m proud to have a 98% repeat customer score. I love seeing the same furry faces again and again! I grew up with 3 cats, a Rottweiler, and a German Shepherd. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of all sizes. I don’t currently have my own pets because I often travel for work, so your animal gets all my love and focus during the sit! If you’re looking for premium, personalized pet care, I’d be honored to help. Let’s make sure your pet feels right at home, even when you’re away. 🐶🐱💕

Clare was very responsive and gave great updates of our dog Charlie! It was amazing knowing she was in such great hands while we were gone. I highly recommend booking Clare when you need someone to watch/walk your furry loved ones!

Clare was absolutely amazing with our 8 year old Newfoundland for two weeks. The day we left we noticed an ear issue with our pup and she was very attentive to it and really put our minds at ease with her updates. Extremely professional with great communication!

Clare is an amazing sitter! This was my second time booking her, and I couldn’t be happier. My little Luna absolutely adores her! Clare kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She left the house spotless and even washed the bedding so I wouldn’t have to deal with it after a long trip which is such a thoughtful touch. Thank you, Clare! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
