Hi! I’m Claudia, a dedicated pet sitter in Laguna Niguel, excited to officially start my Rover journey. I share my home with Wally, my almost-5-year-old Border Collie — an incredibly sweet, social dog who gets along beautifully with other pets. He’s playful, gentle, and has never been in a fight. He’s a wonderful companion and a calm, friendly presence for visiting dogs. We live in a quiet two-story condo with a fully fenced patio, just minutes from Laguna Niguel Regional Park and Yosemite Park — ideal for daily walks, enrichment, and social outings. Being outdoors is part of our routine, whether that’s longer walks and runs or relaxed strolls, always adapted to your pet’s age, energy level, and needs. I’m currently early-retired / on sabbatical (still figuring out the label!), which means I’m home full-time with a very flexible schedule. I live by myself, so your pet stays in a calm, predictable, adult-only environment with my full attention. Originally from Germany and based in Laguna Niguel since 2014, I value calm routines, clear communication, and thoughtful care. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to dogs — I’ve cared for friends’ dogs over the years as well as my sister’s dogs, including a German Shepherd and an Eurasier, and I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Coming from a senior leadership background, reliability, responsibility, and follow-through are second nature to me, and I bring those same qualities to caring for pets. You can expect reliable communication and daily photo updates — light paparazzi energy included 📸😉 My goal is simple: a safe, happy stay for your pet and complete peace of mind for you. ⭐ Why Book With Me? • Calm, adult-only home — no kids, low-stress environment • Home full-time — flexible schedule, minimal alone time • Minutes from parks & trails — daily walks and outdoor enrichment • Friendly resident Border Collie — social, gentle, and well-mannered • Experience with small to large breeds — including German Shepherds • Daily photo updates — you’ll always know how your pet is doing • Attentive, personalized care — routines adapted to each pet
