Friendly, experience dog walker
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Clara and I'm an experienced dog walker who has six+ years of dog boarding kennel work under my belt as well as three years of working with rescue dogs. I practice positive reinforcement and watch all my guests carefully for physical and social cues. I've dealt with hundreds of dogs of varying temperaments and sizes. I've also worked closely with local rescues to get their fosters photographed for adoption, and am a foster mom. I pride myself in helping the shyest of pets come out of their shell. I've worked with many types of pet personalities, from reactive to goofball - I've dealt with many. I've been called the 'fun babysitter' and many of the dogs in my life know when I'm around we're in for a fun time! I'm trained in how to administer medication as well so that will be no issue should your pet need it while I provide check-ups. When with me I'll provide updated texts as well as photographs of your pet so you can see all the fun they're having on their 'adventures'.
Reviews
Clara was great! Trustworthy and professional. My beast had a great time with her!
Barks and Meows Rescue have relied on Clara to look after our pets for a number of years. Clara is also a professional photographer and is our exclusive photographer for the Rescue. She is fantastic with all the dogs from puppies to Giant Breeds. Animals are drawn to her. We are extremely lucky that she and her wonderful daughters foster for us. She is very attentive and watches for any changes in habits and milestones. She has a strong knowledge of training, using only positive reinforcements. She started walking one of our Giant Breed puppies within 24 hours on a leash and body harness. Of course, we are very lucky she likes to take photos of them during this period as well. Clara is used to having animals around her at all times. Her compassion and intuitiveness makes for one fantastic pet parent and guardian. We highly recommend Clara in any capacity related to animals as well as photography. We would not be where we are today as an organization without Clara.
Clara is extremely hard working, reliable and punctual. She is SO good with dogs, she is our dogs favourite person! She will treat your dog like it is her own and has great communication, as well as being super friendly and loyal.

I've been surrounded by pups my entire life but I've also had the honor of being trusted with hundreds of different dogs through my time at dog boarding kennels and as a foster mom.
Information Clara H. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have any sort of dietary restrictions that would effect if I could give them treats? How are they on leash? What sort of training do you believe in and follow at home?
A typical day
I love being able to engage 'my' dogs! It's a lot of fun to work with them as we walk. Sitting, waiting, touch, follow, etc. Lots of treats, pets, and praise. It helps build our bond, respect, and to better leash manners.
