Availability
I am a licensed veterinarian but I am currently in grad school so I am very flexible. I can be home all day if needed, and can provide close supervision. I have a 3 year old female German Shepherd (very friendly!) and cats (mostly outdoor). I have the ability to keep my dog separate if needed but she loves playing with other dogs!

About Claire R.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a full sized truck and the ability to transport animals with me safely. I have 2.5 acres of fenced land for dogs to run and play as well as a small fenced in section adjacent to the house. A pet door offers come and go access to the house. I am free to drop in during the week or board animals for extended periods, and if your animal needs medications administered as part of their care I am very capable. I am comfortable handling large dogs (I have a lot of practice in my line of work as a veterinarian). I am also comfortable with young animals, cats, older animals, and any animal requiring high levels of care.
Home
Information Claire R. would like to know about your pet
I am trained to care for animals from young to old, and I am happy to accommodate any animal even those requiring a higher level of specialized care. My only exception is intact male dogs as I have a female dog and take female dogs in heat.
A typical day
There is plenty of space including field, trees, sheds/shelter, shade, free indoor/outdoor access, covered porch, and interesting sights and smells. I love playing with dogs and have all the toys to get a dog running and keep them active and entertained.

Pet care experience
I am a veterinarian who has dedicated her life to caring for animals. I have worked with animals from a young age, including many hours working in vet offices in high school leading up to college and vet school (became a licensed vet in 2020). I am quite comfortable with caring for animals who need medications administered, or more intense levels of care while their owners are away. Working with animals brings me joy and peace, and making sure they are happy and well cared for is my life mission. I believe in fear free handling, and I am happy to work with animals who do not trust unknown people.
Cat care experience
Claire also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
I can’t be more happy with Claire and her family. They loved Azalea just like their own. I was provided updates and photos the entire time. Thank you to Claire and her family for taking such good care of my baby girl.
Claire was so kind, conscientious, and careful — both in caring for our dog and taking care of our home. We could not recommend her more highly!
Claire was great with Ripley, she sent lots of photos and texted daily. Would definitely use her again!
Claire is an excellent dog sitter! She is prompt, courteous, personable, and reliable. We highly recommend her.
