Lover of all dogs w/ a quiet house
Pet care experience
Hi! I live in east Charlotte and currently have a female Italian Spinone (born Dec. 2020) who loves all dogs and people. She hasn’t really been around cats but ignores them on walks. I brought Penny home in Feb. 2021 after being dog-less for over a year. My beloved first dog, Boone the Bull Mastiff, passed from bone cancer in Oct. 2019 and he was afraid of dogs and kids so I have a lot of experience with the giant babies. He and I were together for a great 8.5 years. I live in a single family house in East Charlotte with my boyfriend and we have a full-privacy fenced back yard. I do not have kids or cats so if your dog is dog friendly but needs a more chill environment than doggy daycare, I could be a good fit. I work from home full time and like to do Saturday morning hikes or little weekend adventures. My neighbors and I have a “puppy swap” type program where we host play dates so if your dog needs lots of socialization and play time, we can set that up also.
Reviews
Claire, Jackson, and Penny treated Scout to a vacation while we were on ours. We are so grateful for their hospitality and time with her!
I’ll certainly be using by Claire again for boarding. Everything from setting up the mee
#1 pet sitter and caretaker! First, Ava’s stayed with Claire a couple of times now as a puppy and Claire always seems to remember the details from our previous stay such as time of day for probiotics. Second, her knowledge and experience with dogs. I thought Ava’s mischief with my sofa was the source for her behaving differently, but Claire noticed a change in Ava and contacted me. I offered to cancel my plans and pick up Ava. But Claire assured me and after touching base with my vet and Claire she made sure Ava was seen by her vet and started Ava on medications. She kept me up to date along the way. I felt awful for the extra attention Ava needed this stay, but also so grateful for Claire. Her knowledge of dogs has helped me better learn Ava. Her love and kindness for dogs is reassuring and evident by the care Ava receives with Claire. Ava truly looks forward to see Claire, Penny and Jackson. And their all happy to see her too! Thank you again Claire!
Claire was absolutely amazing with our pup Darby! I could tell she really cared about his boarding experience at her house because she walked through her routine, asked us lots of questions about him, and made sure she had all the important information in case anything happened. During the trip, she shared photos and updates regularly and Darby clearly had a blast with her and her dog, Penny! We will absolutely use Claire again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
I generally give the dogs the run of the place. They’re welcome on couches and I have dog beds in the living room, bedroom and mudroom. If they like hiking, they’re welcome to join me and Penny.
Home
Information Claire H. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know your dogs quirks. What they like/don’t like. How they tell you they need to go outside. If they have a prey drive/ anything I should keep an eye out for. Favorite snacks or dietary restrictions.
A typical day
I have a great nature preserve near my house that offers wooded trails for walking. There are rarely other dogs out there. If your pup is up to it, I’m also always at the NoDa Company Store and around Plaza Midwood at dog friendly establishments.

Availability
I have a doggy door so my dog can go in and out as she pleases. If your dog is crated, we can do that, or I make a little “room” in our small hallway with a baby gate for whenever I’m gone (typically 2 hours tops at a time).
