Lots of exercise on 4 fenced acres.

Pet care experience

I have owned and cared for many dogs from Lhaso Apso, Dobermans, Boxers, Labs, Border Colies, Shephards, and many other mixed breeds. Our present canine family member is a mixed Shephard Mastiff rescue dog, who gets along with all other dogs. He is a gentle soul. I connect with dogs emotionally in order to communicate and understand their needs, and give them the respect they deserve. In other words, my dogs are as important in every way as my own children and I strive to understand and learn from them each day I am with them. I like to have a strong bond with any dog I care for so that if they have a problem, I will be able to understand what it is. I love to have conversations with my canine friends. And I don't charge extra for counseling them!

Claire did a great job caring for our 2 dogs while we were away. They were very happy and content when we picked them up. I'm sure they were very spoiled with love and attention. She never has more than three dogs at one time as a rule which made me feel even more comfortable. I had no worries with the quality of care and on going communication with us that she maintained throughout their stay in her home. I will continue to use her services.

Claire W. has cared for my animals several times. I mostly used her for when I went out of town and needed to board my dog. I was nervous about leaving her with anyone for the first time, but a friend referred me to her and I had no other options. She was wonderful with my Bella, and when I returned my dog was happy to see me but ran off to play with her dog once we greeted each other. The next time I used her I was pulling into her driveway and I barely came to a stop when my dog tired jumping out of the window. She was so excited, and I knew she was in a safe place. Sometimes I have a full day away from the house I take my dog there for daycare. I highly recommend Claire for pet sitting, both daycare and overnight!!

Information Claire F. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how your dog gets along with other dogs, what special needs your dog may have or peculiarities. (For example, he might need his own space, etc or takes awhile warming up to others). I like to know the personality of your dog and his range of emotions. I'm referred to as a " helicopter" Mom with both my children and pets. So I like to know your dog's strengths and weaknesses. I would like to also know the normal health history, etc. and obvious doggie care protocol.

A typical day

There are four acres on the property for our dogs to run , although we are always present when they are outside. We love doing lots of dog tricks and in the nice weather we set up fun obstacle courses for the dogs to run through. Our dogs love to fetch frisbees, kongs and many other toys we provide for their entertainment both indoors and out doors. We don't mind you bringing your dogs own special things, including a blanket! We provide all the towels needed to dry your dog off after wet days and we keep them warm and dry inside after a long run. And we make our own gluten free treats! We also give purified water inside to all pets.
