I have carpet on the floor to ease on dogs feet and joints (especially for the seniors). Home is on the 2nd and 3rd floor of building, so dogs would need to be carried or use the stairs. I have a dog wagon if dog doesn’t love to walk much but loves the outside. I have dog bed, bowls and a bed (up to 80lb). Dogs are welcomed everywhere.

Information Claudia Z. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know their favorite activities, special quirks they have, their personality, what they dislike. I want to know what makes your loved one, themselves.

A typical day

I would love to do whatever each dog loves to do, I would want to care for them, listen to their needs, whether is a playful, goofy, full of energy, couch potato, or more stoic. We can go to parks, explore the neighborhood, or just play indoors. I will try to do my best to listen and target each dog activity accordingly.

Pet care experience

I have experience with puppies, seniors and anyone in between. With over 50 clients, I am truly here to give your loved ones all the love, understanding, and dedication I can give while you are away. I have a lot experiencing caring for seniors and dogs with special needs (e.g., administering medication, injections, hand feeding, and meeting their specific needs). I am very patient, very good at connecting with your loved one, and tuning into their individual needs, whether they have tons of energy or prefer their space. Your dog safety and comfort is a key priority for me, I have carpets for joint support, a gate to keep them away from stairs, and dog cameras. I will provide constant supervision during their stay. I know first hand leaving your furry friend can be challenging, I will provide regular updates and photos (I am very good at capturing their best angle), so you can have a peace of mind. I remember every of my clients’ quirks, whether they love to eat paper, sticks, or bees, rub themselves in laundry vents, lick intensely, say hi to everyone, steal your spot, find all the balls in the house, run from 💩, etc. Because when they stay with me they become part of the family.

I could not have found a better sitter than Claudia! I have three dogs with medication needs and some anxiety. It is very hard to find people I can trust to take care of them! They were immediately comfortable with Claudia! She was communicative the whole time sending multiple pictures and updates to ease my mind. I am so grateful to be connected with her!

Claudia was great! She gave Louie space to get comfortable with her and he was very happy. She was very conscientious and checked in frequently. I hope to have her come back again!

Claudia is so warm and gentle and very knowledgeable about dogs. She looked at Louie and knew immediately what kind of a senior dog he is. I hope to have Claudia care for him again and again!

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.
