Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover❤️ Trusted care for dogs
I offer calm, attentive care in my own home and only take dogs from one household at a time. I’ve lived with dogs for many years, including a rescue dog, so I’m patient and mindful of different personalities and routines. I work from home, which means dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision in a relaxed, home-like environment.

Ratings and reviews
I feel totally happy leaving Eddie with Clara. Though he can be nervous and unsettled when we leave him, he seems to love going there and seems happy and relaxed when we pick him up.
Clara was a very enthusiastic and caring dog-sitter for Patch. She followed my instructions for Patch's daily routine and she communicated regularly to let us know how he was getting on. Patch seemed very happy staying with her.
Clara was once again amazing with our Fred. He enjoyed himself immensely.
Clara was patient and excellent at settling Bailey. Bailey enjoyed her stay and walks. Clara was great at reassuring me and sent lots of photos. Would use readily again.
Mifan stayed with Clara for two consecutive days while we were playing in a tennis tournament. Clara was really flexible with our drop off and pick up times and very responsive through the app. Clara was so welcoming when we arrived to drop off Mifan on the first day I knew our little dog was going to be in good hands. We received lots of photos and an update on Mifan's stay each day. Luckily the weather was good so they went our for long walks which is great to keep Mifan busy. Definitely would take Mifan to Clara if back again in the area and need a dog sitter. Clara really loves looking after and playing with dogs.
Daisy had the best time of her life. She got a lot of attention, play, walks, food, she was like a queen and I got to have so many photos. It is clear that Clara is amazing with pets and I am only sorry that she is often already booked (makes sense!) when I want to book her, otherwise I would book more often for sure!

Schedule
I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m around throughout the day to provide company, supervision and regular check-ins. This allows me to be flexible with feeding times and care needs, and ensures pets are not left alone for long periods.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in my own home, which is a ground-floor villa flat with a secure, fenced garden. I only take pets from one household at a time and closely follow each pet’s routine. I provide constant supervision, maintain a calm and clean environment, and always prioritise safety, comfort and clear communication.
A typical day
I take a calm, attentive approach when caring for pets. Depending on their energy and personality, this might include walks nearby, time in the garden, playtime, and quiet time together at home. I follow each pet’s pace, mixing activity with rest so they feel settled, comfortable, and well cared for.

- It’s always helpful for me to learn a bit about each pet. If there’s anything specific I should be aware of, like a habit or preference, feel free to let me know so I can make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for.
