Thoughtful & Responsible

Pet care experience

I’ve been rescuing, training, and caring for animals for the last 50 years (including skunks, lions, and squirrels). Animals have a special place in my heart and the ones who need help often find their way to my doorstep - I’m currently caring for two neighborhood feral cats who now purr in my lap. After losing my beloved German shepherd mix to cancer, I am looking to continue my work with animals and care for your babies in the best way possible!

Claude is a dream! She has watched our fur babies for years and most recently watched our cat Martini on the rover app. Martini is very particular with who she trusts and is very skiddish but she warmed up to Claude very quickly. Claude’s truly cares that our babies are comfortable and of course well taken care of - I think our cat may even like her more than she likes us! ? thank you so much, Claude for providing a soft place for our babies to land while we are away - we are forever grateful!

My friend Claude Rush is a well known animal lover in the whole neighborhood and by a wide circle of friends. She took wonderful care of many lost animals in the past years until they found a good home through her help. She is a very careful, helpful, loving, intelligent person whom I would trust and put my dog into her care without hesitation. which I did actually in the past.

As a professional photographer, I have served as staff wildlife photographer for Tippi Hedren's nonprofit exotic feline sanctuary, The Shambala Preserve since its inception. Claude Rush has been a long standing friend of Tippi and it is through that connection that we met. She continues to support Tippi's efforts saving captive wild exotic cats up to the present. Having known Claude for many years now, she has always demonstrated love for animals with passion as an activist for numerous animal rights groups and issues. She is a fierce advocate for the humane treatment of domestic animals as well as wildlife as she has personally aided in the rescue of numerous domestic dogs and cats as well as exotic felines through the years. Beyond a doubt, Claude has demonstrated a deep responsibility and love for all animals and I would without reserve recommend her for the care of any animal put in her trust.

Safety, trust & environment

I have had animals for over 50 years. I have decided to remain without a dog (for a while) because it was too painful to lose my Jacko. But when I see a doggie in the street my heart immediately melt and I am ready to pour my affection towards him/her. Rest assure your little one will be safe and happy! I have trained several dogs with behavioral issues allowing them to find their forever homes (often with me)!

Information Claude R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your furry companion has any special needs, preferences, or triggers. I know every animal has his own personality and routines.

A typical day

I strive to care for your fur baby in the way you would. I often go to UCLA to walk dogs and of course am happy to take your little one where you feel is best! My theory with dogs (or any animal, including men, for that matter) is to lure them into thinking that when they successfully do whatever you want them to do it was their idea - no stress. And if they don’t have dietary restrictions, they get positive reinforcement = cookies and, of course lots of pets.
