About our guest: Hi! I'm Claire, Owner & Creator of Pet Sitting MKE. Life long pet owner and animal lover. While studying my undergrad at Marquette University, I started to miss my two puppies back home. To get my 'dog fix' and pay for books, I started walking dogs in my spare time. Since graduating, I have followed my passion of caring for animals by and establishing Pet Sitting MKE as my own small business. Since then I have continued to expand my team and business.
