Pet care experience
Growing up, my house was a veritable menagerie. Not surprisingly, I have been a life-long lover of dogs. I have a three-year old golden retriever named Cooper, who is the love of my life! Cooper loves long walks, swimming, and taking up more than his half of the bed. Aside from being an owner and living with dogs since I was a baby, I have also had years of experience house sitting and dog sitting for family and friends. I'm a Texas native, but am currently living in Nashville pursuing my J.D. I'm a full-time student at Vanderbilt Law and am looking to get a break from casebooks by spending time doing something I'm already really good at--hanging out with dogs! As a client, you and your pup will both love how much I enjoy cuddling, baby talking, playing, and engaging with your pup. You'll also appreciate that I'm upbeat and responsible. Because of my education and work experience, I possess excellent communication and time management skills, which will help me provide the best experience for you and your dog. I love dogs of all sizes, although I have the most extensive personal experience caring for medium/large dogs. Between school and new clients, my week is now very full. However, I am still available most weekends! Please consider me if you're taking a day trip or running errands and want to plan a break for your pup while you're away!
Reviews
Claire was incredibly responsive and helped me out last minute when my original dog sitter backed out. I would highly recommend using her, as I plan to book her to look after Ziggy next time I'm out of town. Thank you, Claire!
Claire is fantastic! She made me and Logan feel very comfortable. I will definitely be asking for her to come again!
Claire does a phenomenal job with my Cooper! She takes her time with him and is extremely reliable and trustworthy! I appreciate her help tremendously.
Claire is absolutely great with my Cooper! He’s pretty finicky about who comes and walks him but she’s very patient and sweet to him.

Information Claire P. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the owner's expectations for care and preferences for how the dog interacts with people or other animals we might encounter on our walks. Any information that can make my visit more enjoyable and comfortable for your dog would be welcomed. Do they like treats? Do they go nuts for a good scratch under the chin? What's their favorite sniffing spot? When it comes to people watching Cooper, I tend to err on the side of too much information regarding his care rather than too little--so it's totally okay for you to do the same with me! Pets are our family and deserve love, respect, and comfort.
A typical day
We can certainly go for walks in your neighborhood or play in your backyard. If I'm housesitting, and you're comfortable with it, I can take your dog for a hike at Percy Werner, a stroll through campus, or to Centennial dog park. I love to play with dogs--fetch, frisbee, tug-o-war--and can also work on training. If your dog is social and enjoys playing with other pups, I can bring my golden retriever, Cooper, along! He loves buddies. We can also do some basic grooming (like brushing or bathing) and, of course, lots and lots of belly rubs!!
