Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, Attentive & Trusted Pet Care
Growing up next to a dog park, I spent countless hours around dogs, naturally learning their personalities, body language, and unique needs. I began pet sitting in my teens and have continued caring for pets with a calm, reliable, and attentive approach. In college I worked at a pet supply store, where I gained additional experience with pet care, behavior, and different breeds. I also previously worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), which strengthened my skills in patience, consistency, reading behavior cues, and creating a safe, structured environment. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply quiet companionship, I adapt to their individual personality and routine. I understand how important it is to keep pets feeling comfortable and secure while you're away, and I'll care for both your pet and your home with the same respect and attention I would my own.
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. My previous experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to read behavior, helping me adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs. 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 get outside, recharge, and find moments of calm and presence for myself. Having a dog 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.
