Pet care experience

Living for the love of an animal

I have worked at a boarding facility in an animal hospital for almost 3 years. I also have some experience working with vet techs and doctors. I made the decision to leave my job as a boarding technician to focus solely on my veterinary technology online classes. I know the care, love, dedication, patience and preparedness it takes to care for your babies. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and breeds. I’ve also cared for exotics which includes birds, small mammals, reptiles, etc. I also had a dog of my own, the beautiful yorkie you see in my profile picture, which I had for 14 years and she was the love of my life. She was special needs, with a brain disease, dementia which caused behavioral issues, and in the last year of her life she suffered from a tumor and was constantly bleeding so I have a lot of experience with caring after a high maintenance pet, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I can confidently say animal caretaking is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done in my life.

Boarding • Aug 31, 2026

This was our first time using a dog sitter, and since this is our first pup, we really didn’t know what to expect. But honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She went above and beyond to care for our puppy as if he were her own. The constant photos and updates gave us so much peace of mind and showed us just how happy and well cared for he was. Claudia was professional, polite, caring, and an excellent communicator. The place was clean, and everything was just wonderful. If I could give her 10 stars, I absolutely would! We are so grateful we found her and will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog. Thank you once again Claudia. 😊

Claudia did a great job. Was flexible when I had to change dates, and did a great job with my pup. Would definitely rebook and highly recommend!

Schedule

I left my full time job so I could focus on my online classes so my schedule is super flexible. I have no problem with getting up super early in the morning or being up super late at night. Working at an animal hospital full time for years hours can be very long and shifts start super early so I’m very disciplined when it comes to being on time.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a big home and live near lots of parks and walkways where we can walk. I have spare pet beds, treats and toys in my home as well. The door to outside remains closed at all times. I will only take a dog outside if they are on leash. I will keep an eye on baby at all times.

A typical day

I feel like each pet is different and depending on that is how I would go about our day. If I have a high energy pet I love to take them to the park and run around for an hour or so. I always have toys on hand and some type of enrichment with their food if motivated. Practice tricks or maybe try to teach them a new one. If I’m looking after a senior baby or an anxious baby I have plenty of comfy beds and blankets. I like to take them on leashed walks because I find it’s the best way to bond and connect with them.
