Hello, I'm Clare.
I am 36 years old and live in Whittlesford, Cambridge.
I have grown up with dogs all my life and
I
have
2 Labradors (Stubble and Louis)
and 1 Cocker Spaniel (Jazz). They are all working, gun dogs so respond to a whistle and various commands.
I live on a farm and have cows and, occasionally, sheep when more grazing is needed. Additionally, I grew up on a farm until the age of 16 so getting up at 5am to feed the lambs was a normal part of my childhood. We also had cows and chickens.
Animals are a huge part of my life- I get teased by my family and friends for being more interested in playing with the dogs than talking to them! (partly true)
I love all animals, although I am most experienced with
cats and dogs
of all ages and breeds. I am happy to dog walk, pet sit in your home overnight or just pop round for playtime. I am also happy to do up to 2 visits per day for anyone who is on holiday within a 5 mile radius of my home. Additionally, I am experienced in administering insulin via an epi pen.
Please feel free to ask me any questions- I will always respond within a 24 hour period and will do my best to accommodate your requirements wherever possible. Please note that I work full time Monday- Friday so I'm not available during business hours.
Clare was excellent and very conscientious about providing care for Florence. When Florence was proving elusive and not coming home at the usual times, she spent quite a bit of time at the house to be there for when she returned. She always kept me up to date and was a real pleasure. I will certainly call on her again.
We used to use a cattery when we went away but one of our two cats gets very anxious and traumatised by this so we tried Pawshake instead. Clare has looked after our pets a few times now, and she is always brilliant - completely reliable, super friendly and treats the animals so well. Our cats were completely calm and happy on our return, well fed and watered, and looked beautifully groomed as Clare had also given them a brush! She is fab and knowing she is looking after the animals really helps us relax on holiday.
