Expert Dog Care Unique to Your Pet

Pet care experience

With a passion for animals - including years of experience caring for and training dogs, coupled with 20+ years riding and training horses (another herd animal) - I am practiced in safety, patience, and positive instruction. I am versed in canine behavioral science and believe in training through clear, consistent, and positive communication - making the desired behavior easy. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments - from insecure and anxious rescues to confident and rambunctious puppies. Since animals are one of a kind and all learn differently, I cater care specifically to each dog's unique needs. I offer private or semi-private dog walking as well as pet sitting and boarding in my single-family home with fenced yard. As well as dog walking and training, I work remotely as a creative problem solver, marketing and branding small businesses. I have a flexible schedule meaning I can devote the time and care needed to your pet. I will be sure to provide a safe environment with clear guidelines for mental and physical stimulation. Boarding Clients: Please note that my overnight rate covers 24 hours. My normal drop-off hours are after 12pm and pickup before 3pm, but I’m happy to work with your schedule if necessary. Additional fees for walking or daycare my apply. I am versed in canine behavioral science and believe in training through clear, consistent, and positive communication. Since animals are one of a kind, I cater care specifically to each dog's unique needs and am happy to work with you to be sure I am providing care you can trust. All of my services are private or semi-private, never handling more than 1 dog at once, so I can give your pup my full care and attention. Semi-private services are only available for up to 2 particularly well suited dogs.

Claire took great care of Chloe. This is our second time and Chloe seemed to have a great time. Chloe can be a bit picky but loves going to Claire’s and spending time with her family. I would recommend / trust her to take care of Chloe any time!

Claire is kind and professional, and immediately made me and Disco feel comfortable. I really appreciate Claire’s upbeat personality—Disco responds so well to that. Claire was very responsive throughout our communications, and we’ll be using her to board Disco in the coming weeks. So nice to find a new walker/sitter in the Bernal neighborhood!

Claire was wonderful with Riley! She took time to learn his schedule and routine, made sure he got great exercise around Bernal, and was communicative throughout Riley’s stay. We loved getting pictures and updates while we were away :) would highly recommend to anyone in the area and we will surely look for her help again in the future. Thanks Claire!

Information Claire D. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to work with you to make sure your dog's care and training is clear and consistent. Please provide vet information as well as an emergency contact and let me know any pertinent information about your pup's training, habits, quirks, or preferences.

A typical day

I cater care specifically to each dog's unique needs. Whether it's a city hike, long adventure around the Bay Area, confidence-building session, or games, puzzles, and new tricks, I'll be sure your pup gets adequate mental and physical stimulation. I have the privilege of living near two excellent fenced dog parks and will happily walk your dog on-leash unless in an enclosed space.
