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

Information Claire O. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds! 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. I’m happy to talk about this more to see if I’d be a good match for your dog!

A typical day

I’d be more than happy to take your dog on a long walk or take them on a walk as well as mental simulation games and training and we’re back at the house. whatever suits your dog best and makes them the most comfortable with a new person. I want them to be able to get to know and trust me, as much as they know and trust you!

Pet care experience

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 🐶💛

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 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!
