Midtown Lab Playmate for Your Girl

Pet care experience

We love to sit mid-sized female dogs. Our home in midtown Tucson is a fun, dog-lovin' home. Annie, our 2-year-old chocolate Labrador is a great hostess and playmate. We have a nice yard with a high wall and swimming pool. Hi, I'm Claire, and my hubby is Ken, and we're both major dog-lovers. We live in midtown Tucson in a sweet 1900-square-foot mid-century-modest brick ranch home on a quarter-acre lot. Oh! And the pool! Did we mention the pool!?! We share our home with Annie, our goofy, 2-year-old, 57-pound, chocolate Lab. She's very well-socialized, extremely adaptable and good at sharing. I work from home full-time, and my hubby Ken is retired, so we're here pretty much 24/7 -- a great situation for your dog! Our home is very pet-friendly, with concrete floors throughout, with a nice, high-walled backyard. We keep the back door open on nice days so the dogs can come in and out as they please. Why we love dog sitting We've been dog-lovers from Day One! Claire has been a professional dog-sitter since the mid-1990s, including working as a sitter for SleepoverRover, the parent company of Rover. We love having the chance to be around a variety of breeds and personalities of 'human's best friend!' Dogs are so happily and readily our hearts' companions, even though their ancestors were wild animals -- how cool is that?! Meet our pup We share our home with Annie, our sweet, goofy, playful 2-year-old, 57-pound chocolate Lab. She's very well-socialized, and easy-going and loves to share. About our yard We have a quarter-acre lot, and the large backyard is walled. The wall is 6 feet high. The yard has gravel areas for playing and running, a large brick patio, shade from 4 market umbrellas, a fountain and a number of potted plants. It's a nice doggie sun-napping zone. Check out the photos.

Our beloved pet was well cared for. I could tell she enjoyed her stay. Highly recommend Claire. The back yard is fabulous and Claire is kind and attentive.

We were so lucky to find Claire and Annie. Our dog was super excited to have a fun day to meet and socialize with Annie. One can tell that Claire genuinely cares about dogs and you know your are leaving your pup in great hands. I even received some videos and photos of how our dog was doing which is fun to see! Highly recommend!

Claire is the best dog sitter you could hire. She is an absolute dog lover and dog mother. She will treat your dog as if it is her own. I have watched her raise her dog Annie from a pup. Annie is a very happy and well behaved girl. She thrives because of the love and care she receives from Claire and her husband. You will have no worries with Claire caring for your dog!

T Claire is the most competent and patient dog caregiver/lover I have ever met. Her dogs are not just pets, they are family. I have known Claire for many years and have watched her care for and love numerous dogs. They were always healthy and well loved. When they became ill, Claire quickly took them to the veterinary for care. I highly recommend Claire as a pet caregiver..

Information T Claire O. would like to know about your pet

We especially love retrievers of all kinds! 1. Does your dog have any behavioral issues such as food guarding, escape artist, etc? 2. Does your dog sleep in a crate? Does your dog enjoy/feel secure being in a crate with the door open? Do you crate your pet when you leave home to go on short trips like grocery shopping? If yes to any, we request that your dog bring his/her crate with them while visiting. 3. Is your pet spayed/neutered and up-to-date on shots? 4. What kind of food does your dog eat at home? 5. What is your pet's favorite treats and games? 6. Is your dog allergic to anything? 7. Is there anything else you'd like me to know? 8. Is your dog accustomed to being allowed on the furniture? Bed?

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Ken walks Annie to the park first thing in the morning. It's a half-hour walk each way, plus an hour of ball and frisbee. Your dog can accompany Ken on these outings. Your dog's sleeping arrangement If your dog enjoys his crate, bring it along. Certainly, bring his bed if he or she has one. Annie sleeps in bed with us, and sometimes on the concrete floor when she gets too warm. Time I'll spend with your dog Full-time, all-day, all-night. We are home all day almost every day. I work from home, and Ken is semi-retired, so our schedule is very much our own and incredibly flexible. Your dog(s) is (are) welcome to spend time with me or play all day outside, with the door open, or whatever combo they like best. Ken, my hubby, only works out of the home 2.5 days per week, so he is around a lot for snuggles and endless ball-tossing, too. I'm not away from home for more than 2 hours when your pets are my guests.
