Pet care experience
Who rescued who?
I was born and raised in France, surrounded by animals, as my parents were huge animals lovers (to the point where I sometimes thought they preferred them to their own kids). For several years I couldn't have an pet of my own because I traveled a lot, but today I live with my wife (who had her 19-year-old cat and a 30 -year-old donkey when we met), and we now have Frankie, a 4-year-old cat we first fostered for a few months before adopting him. We're also a foster family for shelter cats and dogs. I started out helping my wife (who has been a professional pet sitter for 3 years), and I've now been pet sitting on my own for a year. My priority is the animal's well-being: I adapt to what they want and need, and I never force anything. Some of them need a lot of affection, others just want company, and others simply want someone to feed them and take them out... I love to be that person, whatever the situation calls for. Two little extras: coming from a video background, I love taking nice photos of the pets I look after, and I'll happily share them with you. Being French, I can speak to your pets in French, so they can pick up the language (and maybe teach you later) ;)

Safety, trust & environment
My pet-sitting philosophy is that caring for animals happens on two levels: 1 - What I need to learn from the pet's owner, and honoring the trust they place in me, by: * Arriving and leaving on time * Following the instructions I'm given (food, sleep, walks) * Meeting the pet's needs (playtime, walks, or simply giving them space...) * Communicating any detail that seems concerning to me 2 - What I need to learn from the animal itself, in order to: * Earn their trust * Build a bond between us * Make each of my visits a truly enjoyable moment for the pet
Ratings and reviews
Clement has quickly become one of my dog Shelby’s favorite people! He’s an excellent sitter/companion who is communicative, reliable and punctual. He sends regular photo and video updates, and makes sure she has whatever she needs. Dogs are incredibly perceptive judges of humans and my dog absolutely loves him and I have no doubt he’ll win over your fur baby too!
Clement is loved by every pet he meets! He has his own way of making them fall for him ❤️ He loves to play with them, and also to find their "sweet spot"! He follows the instructions given, and is very respectful of the pets' pace, the pet parents and the homes. Clement is also a great photographer, so you know you'll get awesome pictures at each visit!
Clement is AMAZING! I have an adorable English Crème Dachshund, and I trust him completely with her. Both Clement and Diana are actually quite smitten with each other! Clement is a natural with dogs, and he is so so good with her. He has the utmost professionalism and is incredibly trustworthy. I never worry when Diana is in his care. I’d recommend him completely without a single reservation!
Clement is so great with pups and clearly cares for animals! My frenchie genuinely loves him. He’s attentive, caring, timely and has amazing communication. He’s amongst our top choices every time.
