Availability
I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule tailored to your dog’s needs. My desk is in the main family room—so if your pup loves the couch, they might just make a cameo in my video calls! I can arrange my daily routine around your dog's playtime, potty break, walk, and snuggling needs.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard with a doggy door, so dogs can come and go freely—if you’re comfortable with that. I also offer fully supervised outdoor time. Inside, pups are welcome on the couch and can sleep wherever they’re most comfortable: a dog bed, crate, or even a human bed. Our own dog sleeps on her bed at night, but we’re happy to accommodate your dog’s preferences. Currently only accepting non-shedding dog's due to husband's allergy.

Loving WFH Care for Non-Shedders
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Claire, and I’d be thrilled to care for your non-shedding, fluffy companion! NOTE: My home is currently open to non-shedding dogs only due to my husband's allergy. I’ve loved animals my whole life—growing up with a cat, bunny, and dog. I waited until I had a home with a fenced yard to get my own dog, a 3-year old Goldendoodle, who I’ve trained through classes and now partner with as a certified therapy dog team. I’m great with puppies to seniors and comfortable administering medication. Your dog will be safe, loved, and well cared for in my home. When staying with me, your pup is free to safely explore, roam, and play in a fully fenced yard with a doggy door for easy outdoor access. I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks and walking trails, offering plenty of opportunities for adventure. Your dog will enjoy both indoor and outdoor social time, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes throughout their stay. To ensure we're a good fit, please reach out to schedule a meet and greet. Requirements for a great stay: It’s important that your pup is friendly with people and dogs of all sizes, and comfortable in a shared social setting. Dogs should be able to read and respond positively to human and canine social cues. At this time, I’m unable to accommodate dogs who: - Experience severe separation anxiety - Bark, mark, mount, howl, or whine excessively - Are destructive or aggressive - Are barrier reactive or escape artists (e.g., jump fences, dig under, open doors) - Have a high prey drive or extreme energy - Persistently dominate other dogs My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and happy environment for every dog in my care. Transparency about your pup’s behavior helps ensure the best experience for everyone!
Reviews

Finn had a great time with Claire and Birdie! I especially loved all the adorable photo updates and will definitely be booking with Claire again.

Claire was great with my pup and communication. Highly recommend!

Claire was fantastic with Finn! He had such a wonderful time spending the day with her and Birdie. Claire was very communicative, responded quickly to messages, and kept us updated with adorable photos throughout the day, which we really appreciated. He's already looking forward to his next visit with Claire and Birdie. We highly recommend her!
Our experience with Claire was terrific. The communication, care and comfort were all top notch. We would love to work together in the future.
