Cat care
Litter, food, fresh water, brushing, and as much (or as little) lap time as your cat will allow.

Pills, drops, injections, and special diets handled with patience and care for senior or medically fragile pets.

About Clara
PLACEHOLDER — Hi, I'm Clara! I've spent the last several years caring for dogs, cats, and the occasional rabbit all over the Gallatin Valley. I grew up around animals on a small farm outside Bozeman, and I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors since I was a teenager.
I care for every kind of critter — anxious rescue pups, senior cats on twice-daily medication, energetic puppies who need long walks, and shy kitties who just want quiet company. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, medication, litter boxes, leash training, and bringing in the mail while you're away.
What I love most is the trust. When you let me into your home and your pet's routine, I take that seriously. I send daily photo updates, follow your instructions to the letter, and always leave your place exactly the way I found it.
