Pet care experience

Flexible, safe and loving stay

I am a huge dog lover. I have a 10 year old Rottweiler named Abby and a 9 year old yellow lab named Bailey. I have taken care of animals my entire life. Dogs are a large part of my family. I have volunteered with hospice with my therapy dog. I am retired and will be home all day with your pet to provide special time with them. I have enjoyed dog sitting for family and friends and look forward to providing the utmost experience for your dog. I have a large yard for them to run and play. I can offer a safe and loving home for your dog while you are away.

Clara’s kennel was comfy and cool for our dog during a lake vacation that didn’t allow pups. The fenced in play area is perfect and Tock enjoyed running around with the other dogs at her house. She was also flexible on pickup times which helped us on our roadtrip.

I am grateful to have found Clara! She was responsive and communicated with me before and throughout Olly's stay. I am appreciative of her kindness towards me and my pup. Her home kennel is clean and the dogs have a very comfortable place to rest after a fun day of playing!

Clara is great! Her kennels are so clean. Our Evelyn came home happy and smelling nice!😊. She is an older dog who needs medication and I felt very confident leaving her in Clara’s hands!

Our third time returning for a long stay, and Murphy is happier each time he goes for a getaway at Clara’s! She is so accommodating, warm, and kind, and her spot is perfect for pups.

Schedule

I am retired and I am home most of the time to care for your pets. They have hours of play time and they have their own space for sleeping and eating. I now have a dog hotel that is heated and air conditioning. They also have a TV with dog movies and soft music. I have two swimming pools where they can play all day in the summer.

Pets

A typical day

Our dogs have a large yard to run and play, for dogs that like to swim, they can play in the pool. We play ball with our dogs and cuddle on the couch with them. Both male and female dogs have to be neutered or spayed by the time they are one year old.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Takes only 1 client at a time
Clara can host up to 8 pets per night
My drop off and pickup time: Monday through Saturday 7am-9am and 3pm-6pm. Sundays 3pm-6pm. We have no preference of breed or size. We would like to know about any aggressive behavior. And any sort of limitations. They are required to have their shots.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
