Safety, trust & environment

I live in a one-bedroom apartment and I don’t own a crate, because I don’t have a dog of my own. There is about 600 sq ft for your pup to play, and they will get frequent walks around the neighborhood. I also live very close to parks/dog parks.

Information Claire V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there’s any special considerations I should be aware of with your pup! I’m always up for a challenge as long as me and your dog are both safe!

A typical day

My pet buddy would start their day with snuggles and pets, followed by a morning walk, maybe some ball in the park, and then return home for food. We could then just hang out between walks until their next meal or if it’s time for them to go home!

The best care for your best boo

Pet care experience

I have a TON of experience caring for senior dogs, anxious dogs, dogs who pull, dogs who bark when there’s a squirrel on the TV. I have been a trusted dog-sitter and dog-walker of friends, neighbors, and family for years. The only thing I should warn you about is that your dog may love me so much they don’t want to come home!

This was our first stay with Claire and she was so wonderful caring for my geriatric furbaby. We have already booked another stay with her!! Thank you so much!

Our first and certainly (hopefully!) not last experience with Claire was wonderful in every way. From start to finish, she was polite, friendly, communicative, and responsive. She went out of her way to make sure our senior pup got the exercise and special attention she needed during our week away from home and provided regular and thorough updates. Any pup would be incredibly lucky to be in her company and care.

Claire was great with my young dog. She was reliable and communicative, providing updates before, during and after her visit. Will definitely book again!!
