Pet care experience
I have been around dogs all my life and now are enjoying 2 of my own as my children are older and can help ;) I'm lucky that I have an awesome dog sitter to look after my 2 when I go away and I know I don't have to worry about them, so I would like to help others feel the same when they go away or need help during the day when your at work. I love taking my 2 out for walks and especially when I venture off to the countryside to explore! My 2 also join me at a yard as they come riding with me. So lots of outside time and exercise. My children enjoy playing ball and find-the-toy games with my 2 and giving them the odd treat. My 2 are rescue dogs, Reggie (little white terrier) is 8 and loves most dogs sometimes a little too much but loves a good game of chase. Jake (pointer/toller) is also 8 but is my nervous one of the 2 and likes to decide when he's ready to say hello and doesn't like too much attention so isn't great with pups as they don't always understand this. He'll meet some dogs and want to charge around and play but mostly enjoys sniffing around by himself. Your dog would certainly enjoy their time with my family as we love lots of fun walks.
Reviews
This was our first time leaving Ruby with someone who wasn't family, and I was anxious. But Claire treated Ruby as her own, sent pictures and videos often, and Ruby looked so happy and comfortable in them. It allowed me to actually enjoy my time away, and not be panicking about her, as it was clear that she was absolutely fine. It was so reassuring to see videos of her happy and playing, and we couldn't be happier with how Claire has taken care of our little nutty pup. I can't recommend Claire enough, and we will definitely be using her again next time we go away. Thank you so very much.
Brilliant, I can’t thank Claire enough for looking after Oscar whilst we were on holiday. He had a holiday himself. Will definitely be booking again. We were kept up to date with his adventures, we were dubious about him but need not of worried. Thank you again.
This was Rosie and Lola's first stay with Claire. They had a wonderful time. I received lots of pictures and videos and they always looked very happy. We had met a couple of other minders (not through this site) but didnt warm to them. We instantly took to Claire as we could see she is a "doggie person". We are very happy to recommend Claire and have already booked our girls in for their next stay.

Information Claire A. would like to know about your pet
I always meet at a mutual meeting spot to introduce your dog to my 2. My Jake is a nervous dog and doesn't like too much attention or certain breeds like French Bulldogs, pugs, Newfoundland.
A typical day
We go for lovely woodland walks and grassy fields if they like a good game of fetch. Toys and games at home. My children love to cuddle up with a dog so there's no shortage of fuss at our house.
