The fun (and responsible) uncle!
Pet care experience
Animals have always held a special place in my heart; I grew up on a farm with early exposure to everything from horse to hound! At 14 yrs, I started my first business, Knotical Dog, an apparel brand focused on handwoven nautically-inspired dog collars and accessories. Since then I have cared for and trained a multitude of breeds in various sizes and ages. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks;, but after a few sessions with me, your dog will be reading Dostoevsky and calculating high school level trigonometry (or, we can just start with sit/stays..) Whenever friends and family need a helping hand with their pet, I am often called first, as my reliability and experience provides much needed peace of mind knowing their pet will be safe, loved and cared for in their absence. We know our pets miss us when we are away, but that shouldn't mean they need be lonely too!
About Clay C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet, your rules! I am very responsible with years of applicable experience. I am fully capable of caring for health-impaired, old/young, big or small. Respect and trust are critical. If I am to stay in your home, you would never know I was there. If at my home; you and your pet's established house rules can be enforced. I drive a big Grand Cherokee so there is plenty of room for any travel needs. In sum, you and your pet's comfort are number one; let me know what you need and we will make it happen!

I am lucky to live in beautiful Stowe, VT. My house sits on 5 acres of lawn and forest (unfenced) with a creek running through it. Right down the road is Weisner Woods filled with miles of hiking trails. If your pup likes the water, I have plenty of local watering holes safe for your dog to romp and swim around. Whatever your pet's favorite activity is- whether that be high energy exercise, sprawling out by the fire, aimless car rides, or barking at ghost squirrels out the window, Camp Clay can make it happen!

Availability
I work from home as a remote copywriter, and during warmer months I am fly fishing guide locally. All in all, I have a fairly flexible schedule and have the benefit of managing my own schedule. When in my care, your pet will be my priority, so long as there are no prescheduled conflicts. Routine/scheduling specifics can be discussed in advance. Whether you're looking for overnight care, daycare, a midday walk/play/pee, etc, find peace of mind knowing your pet's in responsible, loving hands!
