LIADAIN CLANCY, THE GREATEST CUCKOO OF ALL

Meet Liadain Clancy, the woman behind Cuckoo Caretaking,

who brings a unique blend of experiences and passions to assist you. 

 

Years spent touring as a professional singer allowed me to develop a keen sense of ease and purpose whilst traveling in many new and varied locations. 
Early on I discovered the art of adaptation and the magic of connecting with the world around me, especially our beloved animal companions. 

 

Since childhood, my unique bond with animals was clear, and it wasn't long before friends and family began entrusting me with the care of their cherished pets.
This profound connection led me to create CuckooCaretaking. 

 

My mission is simple: to make every client feel secure, respected and truly cared for. 

I take trust placed in me seriously, ensuring that you can rest easy. 

As a genuine and dependable caretaker, I am dedicated to the well-being of you, your animals and the preservation of your home.

"Liadain is a gem! I could not have been more pleased with the loving care she provided Mimi and the reassurance provided me. Some of her wonderful traits... Liadain was always reliable. If she said she'd be there, she was. She would send a picture of the two of them when she arrived, welcome reassurance. Occasional pics throughout her stay of the two of them having fun. Mimi loved her! And it was obvious that she loved Mimi. I never doubted that I was leaving Mimi in good hands when Liadain was scheduled. If your path has crossed her's, lucky you! You're in for a treat!"

"We have had two of our dogs looked after by Liadain Clancy for the last several years. She is tops; reliable, responsive and intelligent. She clearly loves her work and the animals she cares for. She has provided both short visits during the day and overnight stays. One of the great treats are her carefully narrated videos which she sends on.  You not only get to see your pet but also to hear her lilting voice. Cuckoo Caretaking is tops."

"Before finding you we had to board our border collie Remy which was not good for him.  He was getting old and being in the kennel he was always on high alert it was exhausting for him.  Once we tried Liadain it was obvious she was the perfect solution. Remy adored her, she is wonderful watching the house as well, the house was always spotless when we returned and Remy was calm and happy to see us upon our return.

We also loved the quick little videos of walkies and easy texting if needed.  It was such peace of mind, and as Remy got older and needed more care and meds Liadain was able to handle these changes easily.  I have also recommended her to friends and clients and we all just love her.  Miss her as we had to put Remy down last year but have so many fond memories.

I would recommend her for any pet or house sitting she is amazing with animals.

We wish her the best!"

"Liadain has been a part of our family since we brought our dog Nash home 8 years ago.  She is so easy-going and flexible.  I can book far in advance, or last minute.  I love knowing that Nash is being so well-cared for when we’re away.  She’s a natural-born care-taker, even driving me to a dr. appointment one time when I couldn’t drive.  If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated, who really loves their job (and will love your pet!), look no further than Liadain."

"We hired Cuckoo Caring to care for our Great Danes for many years.  We loved having Liadain stay in our home and our two boys loved being with her.  Liadain is caring, kind, smart, savvy, and can sing a beautiful lullaby to your fur babies.
We have moved from the area and most certainly wish we had our Liadain and Cuckoo Caring close by."

"Liadain Clancy has been dog sitting for our family dogs for 5+ years. She unconditionally loves your dog and will give him/her the best hugs, love and attention! She will send you multiple videos each day.
Liadain has also been a trusted house sitter. While dog sitting in our home, she has taken care of our flowers, vegetable garden and numerous household items needing tended to. 
Liadain is truly a wonderful kindred spirit: kind, warm and soulful.
We highly recommend her dog services!"

Liadain is the perfect song, arriving with just the right pitch, rhythm and timbre. She has cared for Cinnamon, Ella, and Mantis, the cats and dogs who have shared our lives, with the utmost kindness and attention. Even the most timid, fear-filled dog calms immediately, readily snuggling up to her. This same sweet and highly-reactive dog can be a challenge to walk (understatement). Liadain takes this in stride. Our dog follows. Liadain’s calm demeanor permeates our home such that all of us feel a bit calmer upon her arrival. Once you hear her voice, you will know what I mean. This makes separations from the beings we at times must leave behind much easier. I have known this gentle soul for decades now . Liadain has been 100% responsible and responsive. You will be lucky to have her in your lives. I certainly count her a blessing.

 Over the past ten years or so, I have known Liadain to be  

passionate about her work and committed to being the best she can be regarding her caregiving of her family and responsibility to clients.

 

She has been responsible for my home and beloved pets and has taken the best care of both.  
There is no doubt about the trust and comfort I have when she is in charge – a pleasure to do have working in my home.
