Your Best Friend Can Count On Me

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover my entire life and have been taking care of pets for friends, family, and co-workers for 20 years. I have cared for all sizes of dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’m also very active, so I’m okay with dogs who need long walks or runs. I’m compassionate when it comes to taking care of your pets. I understand they are like family and will treat them as such! If your pet requires a lot of attention, snuggles, or special care, you can rest easy knowing I’m not just a sitter there for food/potty basics, but a guy who is there to be a friend to your pet and make them feel comfortable. On top of heartfelt care, I also possess professional animal experience as my daytime job is as an Animal Care Specialist and Trainer at a local zoological facility. Therefore, I have much experience with young animals, difficult animals, and senior animals that require many medications. Whether your pet is easy and laid back or requires more detailed care - no worries- I’ve got your back!

Clayton was absolutely fantastic! He watched our pets for a week and during that time our pets had a ton of love! There was crime on our street parking and Clayton was a victim of it unfortunately. Instead of quitting, he gave us alternative solutions to make sure our pets were comfortable and took care of them for while we were gone. He is an absolute rockstar and our pets loved him!

Clayton had watched our dog while we went away for the weekend, he was amazing! Our dog went through a surgery this past year so he had some specific care instructions and Clayton paid close attention to detail in terms of our care instructions, he sent multiple pictures throughout the day that made us more at ease while being apart from him. Our flight also got delayed so Clayton went out of his way to move things around so he could stay with our pup longer! Thank you Clayton for taking care of our most prized possession we are so grateful for you!

I work full time 5 days a week at my regular zoo job, but I have no other commitments outside of work and I’m free most nights/mornings to pet sit/house sit, or just walk and exercise your dog. My days off from my animal care job are Sunday and Monday, so I’m free all day those days. I also get 1 hr for lunch so I can take pets out to potty mid-day if you live nearby.
