Highlights
Pet care experience
Lover of All Dogs, Any Breed
I currently live in the Crown Hill neighborhood and have a deep love for animals — dogs especially. Over the years I've built experience with many different breeds and temperaments, and my heart for dogs truly grew through my golden retriever, Bentley, who passed away two years ago. Together we spent years hiking, walking, and visiting the dog park, and the joy he brought me every single day is what drives my passion for caring for other people's pups. Bentley struggled with epilepsy for nearly 4 years, and walking through that with him gave me a real understanding of what it means to show up for an animal with patience, love, and consistency. I know how much your dog means to you, and I take that seriously. I'm warm, dependable, and genuinely love what I do. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, or needs a little extra attention, I'm happy to be there for them. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate bookings whenever possible — feel free to reach out!

Ratings and reviews
Claire did a good job taking care of Rio and Mia. When I came home, they were happy and healthy, and my house was clean and well-kept. We had a little communication issue but she was very kind and apologetic.
Claire was wonderful! She was very responsive and communicative, always sending my partner and I updates and photos of Vesper to put us at ease. She was also super easy going and accommodating to our schedule when our trip was unexpectedly extended last minute and was able to watch our dog for an extra few days. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter and I’ll definitely be using her services for boarding again!!
Claire was communicative and gave our dog (and home) excellent care while we were away. I can't recommend Claire enough – extremely trustworthy and competent. Upon returning home, our dog was the most relaxed that we've ever seen him after being away – almost as if our absence was a non-event. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future when our needs call for a pet and home sitter. Thank you, Claire!
Claire watched our two dogs and house sat for us for a week during the holidays. Claire was kind, communicative and professional and made us feel very comfortable with her staying in our home to watch our dogs. Claire followed our instructions with the dogs, taking them out for walks consistently and making sure they received attention throughout the stay. We also received pictures and updates every day throughout the visit, which we appreciated. The day before we were supposed to fly home, our flight was cancelled and we were forced to make a change in plans. Claire was super flexible and changed her own schedule to make sure our dogs were cared for during our delayed return home. When we got home, the dogs were well taken care of and the house was spotless. We were so grateful for her help and we will definitely be reaching out to Claire again in the future!
Claire did a great job taking care of our dogs for 2 weeks. One of our dogs was only 4 months old, so we Claire's communication kept us at ease. I would recommend Claire to take care if your furry friends. She seems to genuinely love dogs
My pup had a blast playing with Claire and her Goldens!

Schedule
My partner and I both have hybrid schedules that complement each other well, so there's consistent coverage throughout the day. We're homebodies outside of exploring the outdoors, so your dog will have a consistent routine with personalized care, diet, and exercise.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet will be cared for in a safe, comfortable environment. We keep a calm, attentive home and believe in open communication — you'll always know how your dog is doing.
A typical day
We tailor each day to the individual dog — their energy, needs, and routine come first. Outside of that, we love long walks and park time and make sure every pup gets plenty of activity and attention.
