Highlights
Pet care experience
Exclusive 5* care for loved ones 🐾
When you book with me your pets will have exclusive care and service. This means I will stay with them and will not take on other bookings during the stay. Your peace of mind is my priority : 🐶 Fully qualified veterinary nurse with 25+ years experience 🐶 Services backed by full insurance 🐶 Enhanced DBS certificate holder 🐶 First aider with comprehensive first aid kit 🐶 Your pet will not be mixed with other households 🐶 Special diets and medication catered for 🐶 Nail clipping and other services available on request I have kept dogs and cats all my life. I am a qualified veterinary nurse with many years experience so I am happy to look after pets needing medication, insulin injections, post op care and other specialist care. I have looked after family and friends pets and fostered many strays too over the years.

Safety, trust & environment
All my pets are up to date with their vaccines, flea and worm medications and my house and car are regularly treated with an environmental spray so you can relax in the knowledge that your pets will not be at risk of being infected by me or my equipment. I have a fully stocked first aid kit and can cope with many minor mishaps that occur routinely with keeping animals such as a broken nail or a graze out on a walk but I always contact you first to explain what is happening. I will provide plenty of notes, photos and videos of your pet's stay so that you know exactly how they have been and what activities they have enjoyed
Ratings and reviews
Honestly couldn't ask for more! Never felt so comfortable leaving Simba with somebody. Clare is so kind and compassionate and knew exactly how to treat our fur baby! Simba settled right in and ate, slept and had a cuddle with Clare which for a dog that struggled with separation anxiety at times is truly testament to her wonderful nature and care with dogs! We rebooked for a week in December and will use Clare for all of our events and holidays. Thank you so much , Simba says he misses you already and can't wait for a sleepover week with you in December 🐾
I would not hesitate to recommend Clare to anyone. She was simply fantastic. Clare looked after our dog Luna for our 12 night holiday. We were soo nervous about the whole process but Clare was amazing from the first message. She helped calm any worries we had and spent time getting to know all about Luna's routine. We received regular updates while away and could see that Luna was settled and happy. As a family we loved seeing the pictures Clare sent over. When we got home the house was lovely and clean. Clare had gone above and beyond by washing towels and getting us some milk. We are already discussing our next holiday and Clare will definitely be the first thing we book.
Really pleased & Clare was a fantastic dog sitter for Max & George. Great communication & updates & would definitely book again
Couldn't ask for a better petsitter. We booked Clare for 7 nights and had updates and photos multiple times a day. Our pets were all very happy and content in Clare's care, which made being away frok them so much less stressful for us. We would definitely like to utilise Clares services again 😊
Our sitter is fantastic. The boys love her and we are extremely happy and will definitely be using her services again.
Clare was absolutely brilliant from the time we met her to when she looked after our dog for evening. We were a bit nervous about it as our Border Terrier is still young and nervous about meeting new people but after Clare came to meet us all our fears were dispelled. She is calm and caring which enabled Woody to settle down and spend the evening with her while we were out. I would have no hesitation in recommending Clare and Woody says thank you as well.

Schedule
I work part time and I am also studying for a Masters so much of my spare time is spent at home doing uni work around the needs of my pets and the commitments of my pet sitting business. We are a family that love our home life and prefer dog walks and cat snuggles to going out partying. When I am staying in your home I like to make your pets feel that they are my number one priority.
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgClare can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know if your pet has any behaviours or special needs so that I can work with you to give them the best experience possible. I will need to understand their normal routine at home so that I can stick to that as much as possible including meal times and diet, if they can have treats, and if they are allowed on furniture at home. Any treatments that have been prescribed by a vet will need to be discussed before their stay eg time of insulin injections.
