Walks, Wags & Worry-Free Care ❤️🐾
Hi! I’m Claire — a lifelong dog lover with 15+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From daily walks to overnight care, I treat every dog like family (because that’s exactly how they deserve to be treated). I share my home with my 4 year-old chocolate lab, Clark, who is friendly, playful, and always excited to make new dog friends. If your pup enjoys companionship, playtime, or just having another dog around, Clark is the perfect sidekick. Giving back to animals is a huge part of my life. I regularly volunteer as a dog walker with the Humane Society and have been fostering with Stray Rescue for over 4 years, primarily caring for young puppies (6 weeks–2 years old). Through fostering, I’ve gained extensive experience with: • Potty & crate training • Basic obedience and leash manners • Puppy/dog socialization • Building confidence in shy or nervous dogs I live in a second-floor condo without a fenced yard, but that just means plenty of structured leash walks, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine — whether that includes crating, free time, training reinforcement, or extra snuggles. My schedule is can be flexible at times, though it may adjust slightly as work picks up. I do volunteer on Monday afternoons, but I’m always happy to communicate and make sure care aligns with your needs. For safety reasons due to an injury, I’m unable to walk dogs that pull hard on leash — but happy to still chat to see if I’m a good fit! If you’re looking for someone experienced, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about dogs — whether they’re a tiny puppy, an energetic adult, or a shelter favorite — I’d love to care for your pup like one of my own 🐶💛

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a condo on the second floor with my chocolate lab. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I take him out plenty on a leash to go to the bathroom and go on walks. I also have them crate trained inside and he loves his crate. I’m comfortable with whatever way you structure your dogs routine. The only thing is I can’t take care of dogs that pull hard on a leash if needed to be walked due to an injury
Ratings and reviews
Claire was the sweetest to work with, our dogs were taken care of very well! She was on time, went a ton of photos and was so good with communication! She’s the best!
Claire is amazing with our pup! She is punctual and a great communicator, takes a ton of great pics and always makes me feel like my dog is in the right hands. 10/10 would reccomend.
Claire was incredible! Couldn’t recommend her enough. We didn’t worry about our dog at all when we were out of town because of Claire’s extremely thorough check ins + pictures. She’s extremely personable and our dog loved her!
Claire was wonderful! She checked in on time, sent great updates, and made everything super easy. My pet looked happy and relaxed in every photo. I really appreciated her communication and care — will definitely book again. Highly recommend! 🐶✨
Claire took such great care of our dog while we were gone. She was flexible, able to help on short notice and was very punctual making sure he stayed on his routine. She provided plenty of updates and sent lots of pictures so we knew he was in good hands. We will definitely be using her the future!
Claire always gives such great care! I love the pictures she sends of our dog while we are away. It gives me such peace of mind when I am out of town to know that my dog is in such great hands!

Schedule
Currently, my schedule is more flexible but that will change within the next few weeks because of work picking up. I usually dog walk for the Humane Society Monday afternoon, but I am very flexible again, and would be happy to talk about what suits your needs!
