Clara

Hello Pet Lovers! My name is Clara, I am a 26 year-old who has a huge passion for all animals, big or small, no matter their disposition (dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles...). 

I grew up in Oxfordshire surrounded by various animals, from dogs to cats, pigs to chickens, and horses. My experience with pets spans over my life, from looking after my own pets on a daily basis, as well as caring for pets of friends when they are away and pet sitting for people through Pawshake in Brisbane. I also have experience with rescue animals, having grown up with a rescue Lurcher myself. Before university, I was a keen horse rider. My horse had many behavioural issues from the beginning so I spent over six years training him and building an extremely trusting bond which continues today. 

In terms of skills, I have completed many equestrian tests in animal care and through my experience of the every day contact I have with various animals I have developed a strong capability to care for any animal independently and can offer them a balance of fun and love. I thoroughly enjoyed training my dogs at home discipline and to do various tricks. I am by no means a professional trainer but I would happily help with the training process of your pets and to continue what you have already implemented.

At my family home we currently have three dogs, two cats, chickens and three horses. I quickly became used to looking after all of them from an early age day to day, as well as when my parents were away.

I began my pet sitting/dog walking journey during university in Brisbane, Australia. I helped lots of people with their pets during that time and it was a great way to keep in touch with my love for animals, whilst also providing a quality service for pet owners. I put a pause on my services in 2021 when I started full time work a couple of years ago. However, I recently decided to started up again and would love to help you out!

I live in the Peppard/Henley with my family, and I have access to a car meaning that I am able to travel anywhere in the surrounding area. In May 2024, I moved back home from Brisbane and will be taking a break from working for the summer. This means I will have plenty of time during the day to help you out with your pets. 

In terms of services, I can offer to visit your home during the day and housesit overnight, walk your pet and provide them with the greatest care possible. I look forward to meeting you and your lovely pets!

I was unable to change my location from Australia to the UK, so I had to create a new profile. I can provide screenshots or reviews upon request.
