Highlights
Pet care experience
Happy is spelled D-O-G :)
I was fortunate to grow up in a family that loved and supported pets (cats and dogs). We adopted dogs from shelters and those listed online that were “free to a good home.” Because of this I was introduced to a variety of breeds of dogs, at different stages in their life, who often struggled with reactive behaviours or medical conditions that were undiagnosed in their previous homes. I understand that a dog or cat’s needs can be specific and unique, and I will always respect an owners requirements of caring for their pet - a lot of hard work goes in to training and supporting a pet, and I will always do my best to maintain consistency for that animal. I’ve been involved in end of life care for both dogs and cats and I’m comfortable giving medications, cleaning up messes, and of course, spending extra time giving snuggles or scratches when needed :) Also, I’m an ICU Nurse, and, although my job is to care for sick humans (not animals), my experience in the healthcare field will positively influence how I love and look after your furry friend!

Ratings and reviews
Thanks again Claire for taking care of our dog Charlie :)
Thanks Claire and Ivan for taking such great care of our dog Charlie. Claire has taken care of our dog a number of times and is a fantastic sitter. We recommended her 100% for any of your dog care needs.
Jasper had a wonderful time with Clare! She took him for over a week and Clare sent lovely updates of herself and Jasper having a great time :) she was very easy to organise with and I would love her to dog sit again
Thanks again to Claire and Ivan for taking great care of our little guy Charlie while we were in vacation for 5 days. Claire was easy to communicate with, provided great updates and took wonderful care of our dog for the second time. 100% recommend Claire for any pet needs you may have.
Claire is so great with my senior pup Snickers! She was able to take him for a walk very last minute and helped us out a ton!
Overall I would definitely book with Claire again! She walked my dog for an hour and updated me after with pictures and how it went! Her communication was excellent and Claire was able to follow all my long winded directions (thank you again). She was kind and trustworthy! Thank you so much Claire :)

Schedule
As a Registered Nurse, my schedule involves shift work that varies week to week. When I'm not at work, however, I have ample time to walk, visit, and care for your furry family member. I have flexibility within my schedule also, that can allow me to have longer stretches of time off, so I could be available for house sitting needs or daily check ins.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Unfortunately my current home is not “pet friendly” which is why I would LOVE to care for your animal outside of my home and in an environment they are comfortable in. I have grown up with cats and dogs in my childhood home and am comfortable walking dogs on or off leash, on wooded trails, or in busier neighbourhoods. I understand an animals home should be it’s safe space and will adapt my approach to your pets specific needs and routines, whatever they may be!
A typical day
I will meet the dog wherever they are at (emotionally and physically) and interact with the dog based on his/her needs. I’m at active person who loves the outdoors and I would be excited to explore the dog friendly parks and beaches in the area. Also, I own a camper van and my partner and I LOVE to camp. With your permission, and only if you’re comfortable, I would be thrilled to take your dog on a camping adventure!

You (the owner) are the expert of your pet’s needs, and, with your request and permission, I would be thrilled to be a small part of your dog’s life.
