I don’t do boarding now. Used to for many years though. Both of my dogs spend the first couple of hours of the morning under my care. I cook and feed them, as well as walk them. Then my partner throughout the day. Then I come back to feed them, walk them, play with them. We take them to several dog parks at least 4 times per week. Training is a constant in our home.

Information Claudia R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about any agression behavior, health treatment or conditions. As well as if your pet is/are triggered by something specific, if they have any food or environmental allergies. I also want to know what they enjoy the most!? All breeds are welcome in my world!

A typical day

Lots of play, exercise and LOVE! some jogs and walks too, depending on the animal’s needs and owners preferences. Fetch, rope tag of war or any toy your pet likes, I can get in to. On -leash walks morning and night.

Pets

I LOVE all animals! Try me!

Pet care experience

I grew up taking care of animals, especially dogs & horses. I am a certified Chef and Psychology major (Bachelor in Social Science). I have vastly studied about health, nutrition and behavioral training 🤓 I make sure I apply all that knowledge while working with animals. Dogs are unconditional lovers, protective and smart creatures. They tune in with our feelings, reflecting back at us our own emotional state. I am an intuitive and observant person, so I catch potential rough play situations quickly, as well as potential health issues. I always keep my animals close and under control to maintain a healthy and safe relationship with them at all times. I practice AROMA, SOUND & LIGHT THERAPY, I’ve studied that these practices really help mitigate separation anxiety and promote relaxation. I am experienced administrating medicine and supplements and been working for many years with senior dogs and horses. I only host (board) 1 dog at a time at my place right now. I also make organic (allergen free) dog & treats food to order. FLEA, TICK & HEART WORM preventive care is a must to book with me. So please have proof of the preventive care of your pet! Thank you 💜🐶🐴

This was the first time I have had Claudia watch my two cats, and it won’t be the last! She is wonderful, paying attention to detail and had great communication. She was patient and loving to one of my cats who can be difficult. She was always on time and made sure to reach out with any questions. I’d highly recommend Claudia for any of your fur babies needs!

Claudia is very kind and attentive. She took great care of our senior cat and was very punctual with each visit, she definitely goes the extra mile. We will certainly use her again to care for our pets!

From the moment we met Claudia we could tell she had a special way with pups. She was very attentive to the little quirks we informed her of with our pup and she made sure he was set up for a successful boarding from the moment he had his meet & greet. Many people aren’t qualified or patient enough to work with pups who could have may have some socialization issues. Claudia took the time to understand Mr Pickles and introduce him in the right way to other pups. Because of her care and expertise he had an excellent experience and can’t wait to use her again on our next trip. Claudia gets 5 stars all around…her place is very clean and well set up for hosting pups, she’s very communicative, and an expert with keeping dogs safe and happy.
