Pet care experience
PuP Paradise 💙 West Adams 🐶
Hi, I’m Claudine! Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly second nature to me. I live in Los Angeles with my two beloved dogs, Max (my affectionate cuddle-bug) and Leyla (my gorgeous English Bulldog with the funniest personality). They’ve taught me patience, love, and the joy that comes from giving animals the care they deserve. I’ve also volunteered at the South LA Animal Shelter, where I helped with kennel cleaning, light grooming, dog training, and assisting families with adoptions. On top of that, I’ve trained with LAK9s, gaining hands-on skills in handling dogs with different temperaments and needs. These experiences taught me how important it is to not only keep pets safe but also make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their people are away. My Pet Care Style I know every dog has their own quirks, needs, and routines. Whether your pup is a ball-of-energy puppy, a senior who needs extra patience, or a dog who just wants some love and belly rubs, I’ll meet them where they’re at. I’m attentive, reliable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. When pets stay with me, they’ll have plenty of playtime, snuggles, and attention. I also make sure to keep you updated with regular photos and notes, so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is safe and happy. What Sets Me Apart • A lifetime of experience living with dogs • Shelter volunteer work with dogs of all sizes and personalities • Hands-on training experience from LAK9s • Deep patience and compassion, especially for senior dogs or pets who need a little extra care • Two friendly dogs (Max and Leyla) who love company A Little Extra I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pets. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where your pet feels at home — whether that’s for a walk, a day, or a whole vacation.

Ratings and reviews
Claudine was wonderful! She knew just how to handle Archie who can be a bit of a handful and kept me updated my entire trip! Archie had a good time and even came back tired and calm which never happens. I’ll definitely be coming to her again!
Claudine is truly an amazing dog sitter! She gave us regular updates, including photos and little notes about how things were going, which meant the world to us. It was clear that our Millie wasn’t just being “watched,” but truly cared for, exercised, and loved. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter!
Kazu had a great stay!! Claudine was really communicative and I could tell she made it a priority to ensure kazu would be comfortable and safe. The FaceTime call to get to know us beforehand was great as well. Will definitely be booking again!
Claudine was wonderful. I was really anxious about leaving our 1.5-year-old dog with someone for the first time — and for a full two weeks — but Claudine put me at ease right away. She consistently sent photos, videos, and updates, which made our vacation so much more relaxing knowing our pup was in such good hands. We’re also very grateful for the level of care she provided at such a fair cost. Other sitters we looked at (even those with backyards) had higher rates, and as a bonus, our pup got to sleep on the bed and couch. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Claudine again and highly recommend her. 🐾
My husband and I were so happy to find Claudine to watch our sweet boy, Winston, over the holidays. She made sure to set up a video meet and greet with us beforehand to ensure she would be a good fit for his care. She was extremely communicative throughout the 2 weeks we were away —regularly sending cute photo updates of Winston enjoying his time at her home. She has two sweet dogs of her own that are very friendly with other dogs, and she has a great fenced in yard that the dogs can enjoy all day! Winston came home extremely well cared for. She even gave him a bath before we picked him up! We will certainly book with her again.
Caludine was truly amazing! My dog can be a handful but I was truly amazed at how great she was with our Millie! She kept us updated throughout the whole stay! Sent me very cute pictures and videos! Claudine was extremely welcoming from the beginning, made us feel at ease since we were very worried about leaving Millie since she suffers from separation anxiety. Millie came back so happy! I am truly grateful to Claudine and highly recommend her!! She was able to handle our 60 pound high energy anxious dog! She is very experienced!! We are so happy we found a great match for our Millie!

A typical day
I love keeping pets happy during the day! We can go for walks, play fetch or tug, work on a few fun tricks, or just chill with belly rubs and cuddles if that’s more their style. Puppies, seniors, and everyone in between — I’ll make sure they get the right mix of play, exercise, and relaxation.
