Going away? We’ll stay and play!

Pet care experience

I’m an Air Force cadet at Virginia Tech and will be studying here for a 5th year. I’ve taken care of my cat for 12 years. I love dogs, cats, and all little furry friends that need care. I look forward to caring for them when you or your family are working or on vacation :) I have a strong work ethic and discipline, and pay attention to the small details, as all are important. I value punctuality, respect, and flexibility. I can’t wait to meet and care for your furry family! Part time during the week, full time on weekends: I will be working in a part time job until the end of August, therefore I will have plenty of time for daily walks, feeding, play dates, and pet sitting for days at a time. With more coordination, I can accommodate your pets and your needs when it comes to scheduling, grabbing extra supplies, and anything else. I am very good with instructions and routine. My personal cat has one, therefore if there are specific needs, instructions, parameters, I am quick to adapt and maintain those. I love to play with pets, walk them, go on adventures, and clean them too (if needed).

Clare communicated very well and took great care of my three dogs. I would definitely use her again!

Clare grew up nextdoor to us and she lovingly cared for my 3 cats numerous times while we went away on vacations and short trips. I never worried that they would be well taken care of in my absence. She's a gem!

Clare has taken care of our kitty off & on for more than 10 years. She has a special, caring connection with our cat and I’m sure she’d be a favorite & trusted friend to your pet! Reliable, Caring & Patient, I highly recommend Clare to play with, sit, walk and love your family’s pet!!

Clare is the best! She is the epitome of love and responsibility when caring for your pets. She has cared for my “pack” over the last 8+ years! She has an intuitive sense of the needs of my dogs and has a fun yet calming nature. She always sends pictures and updates regarding activities she and the dogs are doing throughout the day, and I always feel reassured and confident that my pups are happy and always well cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend Clare! Book her while you can!!! Jeannette B.

Information Clare P. would like to know about your pet

Before we start, I would prefer to know about your cats'/dogs'/bunnies' special needs: Are they prone to accidents during the day? Do walks along popular streets frighten them? What kind of treats can they have and how often? How many times do they typically need to be let outside? Are you comfortable with me taking them to a dog park/Drillfield?

A typical day

I love to hang out with your pets to engage them mentally and physically. This means I can bring cat toys, dog toys, go for long walks, sometimes runs, we can go to the dog parks in Blacksburg, and my favorite place: the Drillfield/Duckpond! I also love walking around and exploring the neighborhood as well. As a cat sitter, I can also give your pet the space they need and supervise during different hours-- I am versed in accidents as well, so I can take care of those before you come back home.
