Pet care experience

Trusted Care While You're Away

I’d say what sets me apart is that I’m adaptable to each pet’s needs, whether they’re playful puppies or more relaxed senior pets. I’m very attentive to individual preferences—so, if a dog loves to be cuddled after a walk, or a cat is shy and needs some space, I get it. I also have experience with training puppies in basic commands, which is great for both fun and safety. For senior pets, I’m patient and mindful of any special medical or mobility needs, and I make sure their routine stays consistent. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure and loved when their owners are away.

Katharine (aka Claire) is incredibly loving, dependable, and attentive with animals. She has a natural way with pets and truly treats them like family. She is responsible, patient, and always makes sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I would absolutely trust her with my own pets and know they would be in wonderful hands.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work from home and am in school, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. Because I’m home more often, I can be consistent with feedings, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, loving, and supervised environment for pets in my care. I have a very large fenced yard where dogs can play safely and get plenty of exercise. I also have two friendly dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with daily pet routines, behavior, and making animals feel at home. When needed, my dogs are able to stay at my mom’s house, which allows me to create the best setup for each pet’s comfort and safety. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I always follow care instructions closely and make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for.
