Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately I do not have a fenced in yard, but it’s a big yard! I keep a watchful eye on my dog while she does her business and leash her for longer walks, same for your dog- wanderers definitely leashed full time outside. I can easily provide your dog with a crate if needed/ its own room with a couch and plenty of toys to play with! My cats and dog are fed twice a day and have water available to them 24/7!

Information Claire W. would like to know about your pet

Welcoming to all fur babies! A heads up on behavior patterns would be appreciated and potty trained is preferred! No preference to breed or size. If they are not dog and cat friendly I can provide them their own room to hang in with just as much attention!

A typical day

Daily routine starts at 6-7 on a typical day! I take the dogs on a little potty break then some breakfast. We hang out for a little until they have eaten and digested then we go for a longer walk! I check on the dogs around 12 during my lunch break where we play and bathroom break again. Around 6 I come home from work to where we have lots of play time and eventually dinner… then one last walk before bed!

Pet care experience

I love all animals and am dedicated to their care! I have rescued many pets, including my own dog and 2 goats. Your fur baby will not be left out from all the fun at my house as I have plenty of time to play with your pup, I can be relied on to care for your pet as my own!!

Thank you for taking such good care of my boys! They are always so relaxed and happy when they come home. Clearly they were well taken care of and loved.

Claire was a wonderful sitter! Friendly, communicative, sent pictures, and was so caring towards our dogs. They had lots of exercise and we knew they were in good hands. Would highly recommend Claire! We look forward to leaving our dogs in her care again.
