Safety, trust & environment

We will make sure your dogs have plenty of time outside. Our gardens are large and fully enclosed, please do let me know if the dog is likely to jump! The location of our house is away from the main road, very quiet and very safe. Inside our house your dog will be well looked after and spoiled. Our own dog sleeps upstairs so please let us know your preferences. I will be taking the dogs on two to three good walks a day around some beautiful countryside. Please let me know if the dog would be better on the lead or off. There are also lots of cows, horses and chickens around (I will never have my dog off the lead around these animals) Just a few points Your dog must be well socialised and happy to be around other dogs and children. Your dog must be more house trained than not unless a young puppy and still going through training which was are happy to help with. We live in a very quiet area but do have neighbours so cannot take dogs that bark excessively. Dogs must be microchipped, up to date with vaccinations and flea and worm treatments. As your dog will live with us as a family I cannot accept any dangerous breads or any dogs on the dangerous dogs list.

Pet care experience

*****PLEASE NOTE I AM UNABLE TO TAKE ON ANY NEW CLIENTS AT THE MOMENT, SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE*****Hi I am Claire and live in the beautiful village of Shaw in Wiltshire. I live in a lovely large family house with three young boys and an adorable cocker spaniel named Teddy. We have a large wrap around garden fully fenced throughout. Next to the house is the start of all the fields in the village so there are many beautiful walks on our doorstep.

Arlo had a wonderful week at Claires. He loved hanging out with her boys and Teddy. Claire took great care of him and we would easily recommend Claire to anyone.

Claire was wonderful with Arlo. He had a lovely time in her home and got plenty of attention from her family. Would not hesitate to use Claire again.

Fantastic dog sitter. Went the extra mile to help us out. Our dog was lovingly looked after and it was so nice to go in holiday and not worry about how the dog was.

Our excitable cocker spaniel, Pippin, clearly had a fantastic time with Claire and family. We had daily updates and could tell he was well cared for and had lots of brilliant walks. Thank you Claire, we were comforted to know he was fine while we were on holiday.
