Highlights
Pet care experience
A home away from home for your dog 🐕
I have always owned and looked after dogs all my life. I had dogs as pets as a child and once I left home had dogs of my own. I have looked after family pets as well looking after dogs for my friends. I have experience of all aspects of looking after dogs from walking to bathing administering medication some first aid etc. I have also had some experience with dogs in season and helping to look after puppies hand feeding etc.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Claire was a lifesaver, agreeing to take Nova after another sitter cancelled at short notice. She gave Nova a real mini holiday of her own, sending plenty of photos and updates from their day out. I will definitely use Claire again.
Maverick loved every moment of his stay with Claire, its clear to see shes a dog lover. Will use again.....
Met Claire prior to the booking to meet the dogs and get to know the house. We are very happy with the care provided, she walked them and fed them as requested. The girls were so happy to stay here and seemed to have a wonderful time cuddling and exploring. We would definitely book again if needed.
This is Simba’s 3rd stay with Claire and each time he has come home happy. Claire always gives updates and photos to put my mind an ease and I can tell he’s relaxed and happy with her. Will definitely be back .
Claire was a fabulous holiday doggy Mammy to our 7 year old British Bulldog Monty. With regular updates and photographs from Claire we knew our pooch was well cared for. Would definitely recommend Claire to anyone looking for a holiday home for their four legged friends
Rustie had an amazing stay with Claire and she kept us posted with photos and videos so we knew our Rustie was well looked after / we would highly recommend Claire as a doggie sitter and send her our thanks xx

Schedule
I only work part time during the week 8-12 per day and I am always in on a weekend. I am a morning person and love getting out for a walk on a morning even when I don’t have a doggy companion. I have plenty spare time for walks/play time etc. Please ensure your dog is ok to be left for periods of time. Whilst I only work part time, I am unable to care for dogs who will cry/bark if they are left (4 hours whilst I am at work). I have previously had my neighbour complain about dogs crying (after I had been assured that a dog was fine to be left).
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am very much a “dog person”. I prefer dogs to people most of the time. I have 2 fenced gardens and easy access to fields/woods for longer walks. I have a large 3 bedroom house with plenty room for a dog to have access to. Being on the furniture/bed is not a problem. I love a good snuggle on the sofa with the dogs! I do have two children 10 & 12 who are just as mad about dogs as me. They have a great awareness of dogs and know how to behave around them/when to let a dog have its own space.
A typical day
I love playing with the dogs and having interaction with them. An early morning or late evening walk I find just as enjoyable as a long walk on a Sunday. There a some lovely woods up near where I live which are great for off lead (for those who can be).
