Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe, Loving, Small Dog Haven
I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and spent many hours volunteering at shelters, fostering dogs and kittens, and even shadowing a vet as a teenager. I’ve trained puppies, cared for seniors, and have the experience and know-how to handle different pets but it’s the love and attention we give that really sets us apart. I work from home, so I’m with your pet all day, and we have a fully fenced yard plus daily walks. Our two friendly and adorable poodles love making new friends, and we can’t wait to welcome your pup into our family!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Claire took amazing care of our dog Golden Retriever, Nella. Claire is very friendly, reliable and when she met Nella the first time, you can definitely see that she really love animals. She followed all my instructions and kept me updated with massages and pictures of Nella during her stay, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Claire and will definitely book Nella's stay with her again.
Claire and Dirk are fantastic sitters. They’re professional, clearly love dogs, and know exactly what they’re doing. They’ve taken care of Kona (she's a toy poodle like their two dogs) several times while I was traveling, and she’s always excited to go back to their house. Their doggies are very well-tempered and make great companions for visiting pups. I can tell Kona has a great time staying with them as she gets all excited when we drive to their place. I feel completely at ease leaving her in their care and highly recommend them.
I can highly recommend Claire as a dog sitter and dog walker. She has looked after my dogs with much love, care and enthusiasm. She is also very knowledgeable about dogs and cats and I have never met a person more passionate about dogs. She is trustworthy and reliable and will provide a safe loving environment for your dog.

Schedule
Pet care is a big part of my daily life! I work from home, so I’m with pets throughout the day and can give them plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor fun, and our two small dogs love meeting and spending time with other dogs. I also do agility training with my one pup, so if your pup is energetic or loves learning new things, there’s plenty of mental and physical enrichment but if your dog just wants to relax and hang out, that's totally fine too.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and at home! I have a fully fenced yard for playtime, plenty of indoor space to relax, and my two pups always enjoy having furry visitors around whether it means extra play time or just a pup to hang out with. If your dog needs some quiet time, I am happy to set up a crate or cozy spot. Since I work from home, I’m around all day for supervision, walks, and lots of love.

A typical day
Every day is tailored to your dog’s needs! If your pup is active, I’ll start the morning with a walk followed by breakfast and some playtime in the yard. If they’re more laid back, the day might begin with a relaxed breakfast and plenty of snuggles. Throughout the day, I mix in walks, enrichment, and downtime so your dog feels happy, comfortable, and right at home.

- I want to make sure your pup feels completely at home, so it’s helpful to know their routine, energy level, and any special needs. Please share details about feeding schedules, medications, quirks, or anything that makes them feel safe and happy. I also like to know how your dog does with other dogs since we have two of our own friendly pups. The more I know, the better I can make their stay!
