“Claire is absolutely awesome! It’s difficult any time you leave your fur babies at home for a prolonged period, it’s hard to know who to trust and if they will get along with that person too, but we truly were fortunate to have found Claire! My pups looked ecstatic every day they spent with her, her communication and pictures sent daily, make that time away less difficult. She spent time with them and was on time with all her check ins. We are so grateful to have her in our lives. You can tell how passionate she is about animals. Thanks for caring for our babies, like they were your own!”



“I am very grateful for Rhianon. My Queenie is usually stubborn to all, but has taken a liking to her. Her care has meant I have been able to visit with family without worry.”


“Sandrine was great! She was nice friendly and her communication skills are on point my dogs loved her! I received updates and pictures and one of my dogs is hard to get a picture of I will definitely be booking her again soon! Thank you for everything!”


About: I’ve grown up around animals all my life. I’ve had dogs in the home, turtles, guinea pigs, pet pigs you name it. I love them all so much! I have one cat of my own. He is very sweet and playful and don’t mind being around friendly dogs. He is very curious of other cats and not aggressive. I typically scoop litter twice a day or more as needed to ensure the litter box stays clean and appealing to the cats. Dogs can be walked in my area or on specified routes as i’m pretty flexible. When it comes to play time, I enjoy keeping cats engaged and can tire out high energy kitties to make sure they are getting enough attention and stimulation. My goal is to ease your anxiety knowing your loved one is safe and cared for while you’re away. If you need anything clarification or something specific please fell free to reach out! I do work full time from 8am-5pm near my home. All services are available everyday. For drop in, I am available before 8 and after 5. I have a spacious loft apartment in a community that has dog walking areas. I have one cat. Your pet must be friendly with cats and not aggressive.

But also took care of puppies and adult dogs too Right know I do have a job that’s part time so I’m only available on day that I’m off which is Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday but I am always willing to figure out what works for you My parents taught me if it’s not yours don’t touch it and be respectful in someone’s else’s house.

About: I am an experienced pet owner of both cats and dogs, dispensing medicines including pills and cytopoint injections. I have recently retired and now get to spend time getting some exercise while enjoying the company of your furry friends. It would be an honor to be entrusted with the care of your furry friend, as I believe that they are valued members of a family and should be treated as such. I'm available to provide walks and stop by to visit on short notice, and I have no problem with baths and brushing, but I'm not as comfortable with nail trims. I'll be happy to water plants or bring in the mail if you're out of town for a bit while visiting your loved one. I am available to visit with your buddy on any day of the week and on short notice. I'm not opposed to nighttime visits with established clients. I do not offer visits in my own home, but will give care and cuddles in yours, abiding by your house rules. I will ensure that your pet is treated with kindness and care while ensuring their safety in all environments.

I'm happy for lunch-time dog walks (depending on distance), or travel visits while you're away. I have a hedged in yard, but also have a lead line so they can run free. Lots of love and attention. Ample potty breaks and treats (if allowed). I have a small dog, who loves everyone and a skittish cat that probably won't be seen.

About: I have always had dogs and love to just play with them and get all their different personalities. I have always watched my neighbor's and family friends dogs when they were out of town I work full-time Monday-Friday, but I am always free on the evenings and weekends to walk your fur baby and spend time with them and make sure they are happy.
