Safety, trust & environment

Pets are always the most comfortable at home and sticking to their routine. Detailed instructions are definitely encouraged as I want to try keep their day as regular as possible to avoid any extra stress. I will be respectful of your property and ensure it stays the same as when you left.

Information Clayton C. would like to know about your pet

It's always nice to know the personality ahead of time. That gives me a good idea of what I need to do, whether it's a very shy and anxious pet or an overly rambunctious one. Obviously, any special needs like medicine would be very important as well as normal daily routines for them.

A typical day

Depending on the pets needs, we can play with toys inside or outside the house, go for long walks, or explore one of the many nice parks in the area. If they're a little more seasoned, I'm always happy to just hang out!

Fur-Ever a Friend

Pet care experience

I have spent my whole life caring for and appreciating our furry friends. I understand how precious a relationship is with pets and how stressful it can be to leave them, even for just a few days. Every second of my life, I have lived and loved cats with their unique personalities. I have cared for kittens all the way up to 20 year old cats, and am willing take special care of them. I can administer medication, measure food to the gram if necessary, or just hang out and play for a while. I additionally have plenty of experience caring for dogs. I grew up with 3 miniature Dachshunds, but I spent lots of time caring for my neighbors Golden Retrievers. Over the years, I have gathered plenty of experience with all types of dogs, including caring for my own Golden Doodle since she was a puppy. Currently I am more than happy to: -Come by for drop in visits for play time, care, and interaction -Walk dogs and exercise -Updates and photos to ease the stress of leaving your pets Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

Clayton was such a good sitter and extremely trustworthy. My scaredy cat loved him and cuddled with him everyday! I wouldn’t have been able to go get surgery without his help.
