Information Claire d. would like to know about your pet

If you dog has any special needs / behaviors, please let me know. Especially if we are doing an overnight stay, I want to make sure my own dog is safe beforehand. That being said, I have experience with **spicy** dogs and am happy to accommodate their needs if I can, please just let me know beforehand.

A typical day

I love to provide both physical and mental stimulation for your pup! We will check out all the neighborhood smells, play in the backyard, and go on hikes (I have access to a wonderful local trail system near my house!).

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs my whole life (big and small, love em all!), and currently live in town with my senior rescue pup! I have experience with dogs with behavioral challenges and medical intricacies, and can commit to always treating your animal like one of my own. I love all the things Steamboat has to offer our animals— walks on the river, snowy hikes, time at the park, etc! I work from home, so I have somewhat flexible availability for drop-ins as well. If your pup gets along with others, I would happily host them at my house, or bring my pup to your place. I am happy to provide both pet sitting and house sitting references. About Me: I've lived in Steamboat since graduating college 4 years ago. Until this school year, I was an elementary school teacher. Now, I work for a local mental health nonprofit doing youth services. I love hiking, skiing, reading, cooking, and spending all the time I can with my own dog.

Claire is a true dog whisperer!! She will always go above and beyond for your furry friend. She’s my go-to to watch my Ralph, and was the first person to take care of him for a weekend just a few weeks after I adopted him, and she took it in stride, with his strange quirks and anxiety and all!!! I will always sing Claire’s praises, and so would her dog friends if they could talk! She’s one of the most trustworthy folks I know - and incredibly dependable. Using Claire as your dog sitter is a FANTASTIC move for both you and your pup!

Claire is a lifesaver! She manages our three dogs with ease and is always there for us, even on short notice. She’s so great with them that we’re pretty sure they prefer her company to ours! We trust her implicitly and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, loving, and fun sitter for their pets.

Claire is a caring, responsible and reliable dog owner and sitter. I have 100% confidence in recommending her to care for your pet. She has cared for my dog for weeks at a time and treated him as if he were her own. She is experienced with all types of dogs and any health issues that come with them. She loves to go on dog walks and will ensure that your pet gets the type of exercise they are accustomed to. She gets 5 out of 5 stars from me!!
