Pet care experience
Calm, Attentive & Trusted Care 🩵🐾
Your pup's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with a beloved member of your family is a big decision, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away by providing the same patience, affection, and attentive care they're used to at home. Every dog has their own unique personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. My background in professional caregiving has strengthened my ability to stay calm, observant, and responsive, even in unexpected situations. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, adventures, or simply relaxing nearby, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual personality, routine, and needs. Whenever possible, I love scheduling a meet-and-greet before a booking. It's a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know one another, discuss your dog's routine, preferences, and any special care instructions, while also giving your dog the chance to become comfortable with me before our time together. No one knows your dog better than you do, and I truly value learning from you so I can provide the best care possible. While you're away, you'll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. I believe communication is an important part of exceptional pet care, so I'll send regular updates and photos throughout our time together. My hope is that you can fully enjoy your time away, knowing your dog is happy, loved, and receiving thoughtful, dependable care every step of the way.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, rest, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention. I treat every client's home with the same care and respect as my own, always aiming to leave it as clean—or even better—than I found it. I communicate reliably and always prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being.
Ratings and reviews
Claire Duhring, took care of our beloved dog Sadie for many years. We would never board Sadie in a kennel and needed a responsible, loving caregiver for our dog and our home. We love to travel internationally and for four day weekends. We were grateful Claire was able to make serious decisions regarding our pet and our home in our absence. Sadie loved Claire so much, she didn’t mind us leaving her in Claire’s capable hands. I highly recommend Claire Duhring.

Schedule
Currently my schedule is flexible and open. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy taking walks throughout the day to recharge, and find moments of calm and presence for myself. Having a pup or kitty by my side makes those experiences even more meaningful and enjoyable. I’m also naturally a homebody, so providing companionship and being a calm, relaxing presence comes very easily to me.
