About: I've lived with pets all my life and while I’ve only had one human roommate in the last 30 years, I've always had a least one cat up until 2018. I LOVE cats (esp kittens), and am quite comfortable around dogs as well (I love them too, just not in all capitals, LOL). When I first started pet sitting, I thought I preferred cats to dogs, but the past few years have enabled me to expand in my love of, and comfort with dogs (but please don't tell the cats that)! I also used to 'lease' a horse in my youth and have experience with birds, hamsters, fish, and guinea pigs. I DON'T like snakes or insects (sorry!) In the last 12 years I’ve volunteered with several rescues as a cat/kitten foster and I'm known to be particularly good with feral kittens and cats. I'm really good with walking (dogs mostly), dispensing medications, and loving attention, but I'm not a pushover when it comes to treats from the table (that's a no-no) staying on leash when required, and letting them know I mean business when necessary. I don't believe in EVER striking or punishing animals and seem to fall in love with them all. I’ve been a house and pet sitter on the site “Trusted Housesitters” since 2018 and have over 21 positive reviews there. I’m recently retired (yet surprisingly busy). I don’t do a lot of night driving, but am otherwise generally available. I’m a stickler about being on time, and keeping dates I commit to. My preference is for cats to remain indoors at all time at my house, and dogs always on a lead when outside. I have a variety of crate sizes here, and am totally comfortable with your fur kids riding in my car, lounging on my furniture, and/or sleeping in my bed. I have all wood floors, plenty of cat litter pans and bowls for food and water. My yard is not fenced but I live directly in front of the Western Maryland Rail Trail, and have easy access to neighborhood parks as well.

Christina C.
“At a young age it was apparent that Christina had a very caring and nurturing heart. She fell in love with a dog named Spud. She would crawl into his bed and sing to him in her baby language. Her love for all animals became stronger as she grew. Christina bathes cats and dogs, massages them, and will give them skin care treatments. She is calm in emergency situations. My neighbor has willed her dog Georgie to Christina after only knowing her for about a year and a half. She said that she knows Christina will love him and give him the care he needs.”

If anyone knows how high energy and dramatic huskies are, you understand they can be over the top but she does great with them. Constantly takes them for walks (both at the same time) will play with them and take them for as many potty breaks as they need. She’ll provide plenty of love and cuddles with them when needed. She loves all animals and will provide a great space for them with her”

“I couldn't be happier with the pet sitting services provided by Clayton. It was clear Clayton has a genuine love for animals.
