I'm Clare, a reliable and experienced pet and house sitter who cares for dogs, cats, and micro farms while you're away. I specialize in longer sits, with a one-week minimum and discounted rates for stays of one month or more. That gives your pets consistency, your home security, and you fewer moving parts to manage. I'm comfortable with daily pet routines, feeding schedules, medications, gates, written instructions, and animals with strong opinions about how life should work. As someone who travels myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else's care. My goal is simple: keep your animals safe, fed, loved, comfortable, and close to their normal routine. I'm calm, practical, attentive, and respectful of your home. Your pets get care. Your home gets respect. You get peace of mind.
I found Clare to be responsible and trustworthy, and she kept our house in good order and our pets well cared for. She is very easy to get along with and has a great attitude. I would definitely hire again!
