Pet care experience

They deserve the best!

I am big animal lover and I take great pride in making sure your pets get taken care of the way they should! I work with all types of personalities! If you have any other pets that are not cats or dogs I will care for them at no extra charge! This includes birds, reptiles, fish and any other type of small pet you consider family. When I house sit, i will feed and play with your pet and take them out for potty breaks. I can also bring in mail or any deliveries made to your home for safe keeping so that they don’t sit outside to be taken! I won’t leave any messes behind and try to clean anything I can to assure everything is in good condition for when you arrive back home

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

For house sittings, I care for your pets the way you would if you were home! I want them to feel comfortable while you’re away. My goal is keep them happy until you come back! For cat boardings my goal is to keep them happy and healthy while they are in my home!

Claudia is like a member of our family now and has been taking excellent care of our zoo and home for a few years now whenever we are away. From pop ins to stays, Claudia goes above and beyond and loves our babies like we do. We have dogs and lizards and she’s great with all of them!! Claudia’s the absolute best!!!

Claudia is always amazing, conscientious, dependable, and terrific to our zoo. She goes above and beyond, without having to be asked to do something, she just sees it and does it. She’s our regular house and pet sitter and we trust her explicitly. She’s done drop ins and house/pet sitting for us for a couple of years now.

A pop in to potty the dogs turns in to so much more. She brought in our trash bin, a massive chewy box, saved a lizard from getting trapped in the house…watered my drooping outside plant, and fed and watered my lizards… I didn’t ask her to do all of these things, she just saw them and took care of it. I really appreciate her “above and beyond” service when I can’t be here myself. Highly recommend Claudia!!

Claudia took the best care of our babies! Terrific communication and all of our babies were very happy with her attention and care. We also have lizards, and Claudia is very comfortable and knowledgeable about their care as well, which added another level of comfort to our trip away. She’s reliable, caring, easy going and just a terrific fit into our little zoo. We had zero worries. Already booked her for drop ins and will definitely hire her for future trips away from the house.

Claudia is just awesome.l felt totally comfortable leaving my baby with here. She watched out girl for four days and had such great communication, along with photos everyday. Highly recommended using Claudia.

I don’t like leaving my dogs with anyone but felt very comfortable with Claudia staying with them in our home. Claudia watched our 3 dogs and my daughter 2 cats, which produces a LOT of hair. She had obviously vacuumed/cleaned up before we got home and you couldn’t tell she had been in the house. We will be using her again.

Schedule

I have to first make note that I have several off site clients that come first and they book months (and sometimes a whole year) in advance but I am more than happy to meet new faces! I keep my schedule updated as best as possible to insure the dates I’m unavailable are accurate. Fun fact about me: I’m an animal rescuer And neonate bottle feeder!! I rescue cats which includes trapping strays on the street and bringing them to a foster in a rescue organization so they may live a better life. I also transport all around Houston and to surrounding cities including Dallas, Austin and San Antonio. Sometimes I do out-of-state transports as well!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Claudia can host up to 1 drop-in per day
Most important thing would be dietary needs or medications! Also knowing if there’s anything special I need to know such as • them needing you to watch them eat or they won’t eat at all •any triggers of sounds or other animals
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
