Pet care experience

Compassionate Reliable Animal Care

I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals, including my own rescued cats, dogs, and horses. I have looked after three horses on loan, providing daily care, feeding, grooming, and attention to their individual needs. I have rescued and cared for two cats and have owned two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and care requirements. I have also worked at Redwings Horse Sanctuary, supporting the care of horses and running wellbeing activities that connected people with horses. Alongside my animal experience, I run my own small business offering therapeutic forest school work with children and nature connection experiences. This has developed my skills in patience, responsibility, observation, and creating safe, supportive environments for both people and animals. I hold an Enhanced DBS check and I am experienced in working responsibly with both children and animals. I am comfortable providing care such as: • Feeding and maintaining routines • Administering medication where required • Caring for animals with different needs and temperaments • Providing companionship, attention, and reassurance • Looking after animals in a calm, respectful way • Drop in pet sitting, or longer stay-in house and pet sitting if required I understand that pets are part of the family and aim to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives owners peace of mind while they are away.

Clare is a responsible, calm and friendly professional person. She is confident around animals and people alike. She has this connection with animals in her care and gives them confidence and builds trust. I have personally seen Clare caring for animals, large and small, giving them her full attention and care. Clare's attention to detail is very good, as is her ability to clarify, if unsure.

Clare has a wonderful way of being around animals. Our dog is a 3yr old rottweiler and although friendly can be easily over stimulated and can give warning grumbles if touched in a place he doesnt want. Clare was calm with him and respected his boundaries. She was also good at reduce ting him if he was too much in her personal space without increasing intensity in the interaction. Clare has also been to my ponies. Again she is calm amd grounded around them. My mare is not a "people person" and yet in the feild she chose (more than once!) To go to Clare and be in her space - a big compliment indeed! My other two ponies also had a similar reaction to her and I trust my ponies opinions!

Clare is kind, caring, and looked after my cat while I was away on holiday. She is organised, safe and proactive and I recommend her.
