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.
