Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring & trustworthy walker/sitter
Living in Santa Monica now for a few months, having moved from San Francisco where I had regular repeat clients and referrals. I've always grown up with dogs and nothing brings me greater joy! Growing up we had a range of dogs from Cavalier King Charles, to Labradors to sheepdogs! I have my own Cavalier (Lexie) since 2020. I don’t just walk your dog, I care deeply for every dog like they’re part of my own pack. What sets me apart? I provide: Daily photo/video updates so you always know how your pup is doing Thoughtful care and communication, especially during big life moments (travel, family emergencies, etc.) A calm, trustworthy presence—great for sensitive dogs or first-time owners. I also specialize in walking smaller dogs and senior dogs. Flexibility when possible, because life doesn’t always run on schedule. I’ve looked after everything from energetic puppies to sweet seniors and know that great pet care is about reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. Whether it’s a weekend trip or a longer stay, I aim to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your dog. **Peace of mind is everything**

Ratings and reviews
Claire has walked Bella every week now for 3 weeks. She has been generous with her time and care. I fully trust that she has Bella’s best interest at heart. She goes out of her way to do the little things that make my dog happier and makes my life easier I 💯recommend her .

Claire took such loving care of my silly Cavalier. I got frequent updates and photos of Bill playing, hanging outside a coffee shop, generally living his best life. It was great feeling confident in his care with Claire. I’m so grateful and will definitely be using her again for boarding. I highly recommend her!
I am beyond grateful to Claire for the amazing care she provided for my dog Bo when I was traveling internationally! From the very first interaction, I could tell that Claire is not only highly professional but also deeply passionate about animals. She went above and beyond to make sure Bo felt comfortable and safe. The home environment was cozy and welcoming. I loved getting daily updates and pictures and videos, which reassured me that Bo was not only well taken care of but also having a blast. It was clear that Claire truly understands dogs and their needs, providing plenty of attention, exercise, and even some special treats! What I appreciated most was the personal touch — Claire took the time to understand my dog’s personality and routines, which made all the difference in ensuring a stress-free stay. I could tell Bo had a wonderful time, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable hands. I will absolutely be using Claire for her dog boarding services again and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy dog sitter!
Claire will provide safe, loving care because she’s incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely cares about the well being of animals. She has cared for our mini Dachshund many times, and I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing our fur baby is in such good hands. Claire is also a wonderful dog mom to her King Charles Cavalier, Lexie, which speaks to her deep love and understanding of animals. She’s warm, patient, and always goes the extra mile to ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Her kindness, reliability, and commitment to great service make her an exceptional caregiver, and I highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!
Claire's love for animals is easily apparent and I have found her to be entirely trustworthy whenever she has looked after my dog. She sends me updates of how he is doing that day, as well as photographs and he clearly loves to spend time with her and looks forward to his walks with Claire and her dog. I cannot recommend highly enough!
Claire is wonderful, responsible and highly skilled with dogs. She had taken care of Lola many times for both short and long trips and it has always been a great experience. She is excellent with communication providing daily updates, is excellent with medical care. Lola clearly loves Claire very much. I give her my highest recommendation.

Schedule
I'm currently my own boss and work from home with a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to walk, play and snuggle with your dog! My own Cavalier is also super friendly.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I always keep them on leash when outside on walks and am extra careful near traffic. I ensure to stop regularly and let them enjoy the smells and scenes of the neighborhood. Any walk is their walk to enjoy and get exercise.

A typical day
I'm happy to be guided by your dog! I usually take them on beautiful walks of the neighborhood so that they can explore all the new smells. We can also play together if they enjoy that.
