Pet care experience
I have my own pup who loves to get out hiking, biking, and skiing! We live in a beautiful house in the woods with lots of space to run and play and adventure. I've been house-sitting for friends in and around Missoula for the past 8+ years, and have lots of experience taking care of cats, dogs, horses, guinea pigs, etc. I love furry four-legged critters and getting to know how they behave and interact with each other and their human counterparts. I'm happy to take care of pups at their house, or mine and have a relatively flexible work schedule that allows me time to get out and about in the afternoons. We are currently renting, so need to be sure and guests staying at our house are mostly well-behaved and well potty trained. Also have an outdoor kennel, 5'x10', that my pup doesn't use, so visitors can stay outside in nice weather if they'd like! My own pup has a bit of isolation distress, so I'm used to taking care of dogs that need a bit of extra love. Familiar with administering oral medications, music therapy, and busy toys.
Reviews
Would recommend to anyone who needs a reliable dog sitter
Clara was marvelous with Bailey. I honestly felt that Bailey would have liked to stay with her. She seemed torn in choosing to come home with me. Clara was very kind with Bailey, which was so important since she was a previously abused dog, and lacks self confidence. I highly recommend Clara, and will definitely choose her in the future to care for my fur baby!
Clara was a wonderful pet sitter. She was very sweet and caring to my dogs, handing out treats and dispensed daily medication to my older dog. She was very relaxed & welcoming to me as well. Her dog Kai was very well behaved, friendly and patient to my two admittedly annoying little yappers, and gentle with my elderly bigger dog. She has a fenced yard, so my dogs were able to be outside several times a day, and were safely inside at night. I wholeheartedly recommend her.
Clara is an extremely attentive and caring dog-owner. I can only imagine her love and responsibility toward her own dog would spill over on anyone's pet. For the dogs I have met under her care, their need for food, exercise and love are her priority, which has more than once meant a 4am walk around the block. Her large, fenced yard is perfect for dogs of all sizes, but overall the attention given by her to canine friends makes her a great choice as a dog sitter.

A typical day
We can go on walks in town, but I definitely prefer going to the mountains and exploring trails in the Rattlesnake, Pattee Canyon, and elsewhere. I also love going to the river to swim and an occasional visit to the dog park. I bike a lot with my own dog, so if that's something your pup can handle, I'd love to get them out ripping up trails!
