Highlights
Pet care experience
I love spending time with dogs!
I rescued my large dog about 7 years ago, and he can be very nervous. Training him has helped me to understand behavior issues and reading body language. He's pretty big (about 85lb) and I have no issues handling him on walks if he reacts to things before I can step in, so that makes it easy to handle every other dog! I also have experience watching a dog who's reactive to other dogs, so I know how to get them to properly walk by and avoid issues. I love to work on training my dog with new skills and taking him on long walks or hikes when the weather is nice. I always use R+ training techniques. I’m good at getting cats and dogs to take oral medications Pet parents just want to know their dog is cared for, and I will do just that :)

Safety, trust & environment
I'm familiar with crating dogs if they need it and when I enter a house with a dog I understand they may be timid or scared at first. I believe it's all about understanding the dogs body language to learn how they want me to interact with them.
Ratings and reviews
Claire is great! You can rely on her and she manages to get my goofy sometimes uncooperative doggie to get outside!
Claire is great and takes good care of our strange dog. Reliable, kind and willing to deal with our weirdo!
Claire was able to accommodate a last minute drop-in for Duke. She gave him a long walk and fed him. We can’t wait to have her back.
Claire was excellent. Took great care of my cat. I’ll use Claire’s services again.
Claire did a great job with my pets once again! I will definitely have her come back.
Claire is great! We highly recommend her! Our high anxiety dog did very well with her.

Schedule
I work from home most days, so my schedule is incredibly flexible! Most weekends, I'm pretty much wide open during the day and I love to put a headphone in and go for a long walk.

- I love to get to know your pets in advance with a meet and greet. It gives me the opportunity to see where their stuff is and learn if they’ll be timid. That being said, some dogs don’t need it :) I leave it up to the owners.
