Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your pet as if they were my own (and most likely I’ll fall in love with them so much I’ll wish they were). I am also 100% comfortable with staying at your home if you would need overnight care. I love going for walks but I’m also not opposed to just cuddling on the couch together. Generally…. Whatever works for your pet is what I will make work for me.

Information Clare P. would like to know about your pet

Absolutely no breed preferences or personality preferences. I have volunteered in shelters and seen it all so I am more than comfortable with all breeds and personalities. I’d just love to know basic routines and needs your animal has as I love to keep it as consistent as possible while you’re gone. Whatever I can do to make your animal more comfortable is my top priority.

A typical day

I love hiking and walking. I typically go for walks on my own or with my boyfriend since it's not socially acceptable to take my cats on walks (not to mention they aren't fans of it) so I would love a dog to come along!

Pet care experience

I have always had animals growing up. Since I can remember there was always at least one dog and one cat in our house and typically more than one of each. I love all animals and just want to share the love. I have experience volunteering at shelters and plenty of experience caring for dogs, cats, and all other animals! I am currently in the process of applying and interviewing to be a Humane Society Animal Rescue Volunteer. I am currently a stay at home mom to an almost 3 year old boy who goes to preschool and a 3 month old little girl. But I’m available weekends, and weekdays during evenings and overnight and in the day if your animal doesn’t mind me baby wearing . I'm really looking for your help to convince my husband to fall in love with dogs and hopefully inspire him to get a dog of our own someday so thanks in advance!

Claire went above and beyond with her care for Dutch. She was thoughtful, extremely communicative (she sent us many pictures and videos), and truthfully cared for my dog as it was her own. She sat with him outside, played fetch, and made sure to give him all the attention, love, and time he needed. If I could give Claire more than 5 stars, I would!!

Finn had a great time and was looking at the door for the sitter to come back.

I would have left 5 stars, however got off to a rocky start. Once the kinks were worked out she did a fabulous job. We have 3 kitties, granted 2 of them are very shy, by the end of the week, the 2 shy ones finally started coming out of hiding. I would definitely refer Clare as a sitter.
