Highlights
Pet care experience
love comes with four paws
I have been working with dogs for over 15 years, and caring for and training dogs has always been a huge part of my life. In my free time, I enjoy working with my own five dogs and staying active in the dog-sport community, including dock diving and Mondioring, a protection sport. When your dog stays with us, they become part of the family. Our home is set up specifically to provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for dogs. We have a dedicated dog room equipped with kennels and a grooming station, as well as secure outdoor kennels/pins and a spacious 2-acre yard where the dogs can enjoy plenty of room to exercise and explore. Every dog is different, and I believe they deserve care that is tailored to their individual needs, personality, and routine. Whether your dog needs extra exercise, structured training, grooming, playtime, or simply lots of love and attention, we will make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. With my experience working with a wide variety of dogs, I am comfortable handling all types of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My goal is to give every dog the same level of care and attention I would want for my own. Your dog isn't just a guest in our home—they're family while they're here!

Ratings and reviews
Ellie says “Claire was an excellent ball thrower. She threw it so I could catch it”. Oliver says “Claire chased me around the yard, but she couldn’t catch me. Ha ha!”
Claire has watched my 3 year old retriever mix, and has always been kind and super sweet! Always super aware of Roxie’s needs and wants. She also follows great instructions on what to do with Roxie.

Schedule
I’m working a full time job from 5am-3:30 pm Monday-Thursday but my partner works 9-6, not a set schedule. So someone will be home most of the time or the pups won’t be alone long!

A typical day
We do dog puzzles and mental simulation. We also will take dogs on walks and have plenty out in and outdoor play time. Every day each dog will get a puzzle type toy such as a pupsicle, Kong, lick mat or one of our many puzzle toys.
