Tails of Suburbia

I first met Claire at My Second Home in Dubai when my crazy Labrador Nova decided to steal Jazz’s ball and then tell her all about it (Nova was quite a vocal dog). I learnt very quickly that Claire has a passion for all animals, not just dogs. She is very compassionate.Claire was there for us in the time when we had to make a very tough call and was gracious enough to be with our dear Nova when she passed and we were out of the country. This is the kind of person I would definitely want looking after my dogs be it while at work or away on vacation. I would thoroughly recommend Claire and her services.Brooke

I met Claire when my dog wanted to say hello to her when we were living in Dubai! I took this as a good sign and from that point onwards she was the only person I trusted Agnes with. Agnes was a rescue with a troubled background and could be highly intelligent, adorable, yet also aggressive and unpredictable. This made it very difficult to find people I felt comfortable leaving her with but she loved Claire and behaved better with her than me most of the time!Aggie was a really high energy dog and Claire walked her and looked after her while I worked, she dog sat when I went on holidays and took such good care of her as if she were her own. I actually couldn’t imagine coping for as long as I did if it weren’t for Claire’s help and support.I’m so happy to recommend both Claire and Tails of Suburbia and I’m delighted that Claire is now back in the same country as I am as without question, I will be asking for help with my dog for future holidays!Claire CresswellAgnes

Claire has looked after our 3 cats many times over the past few years. She's really fantastic with animals and really goes above & beyond just pet sitting. On one occasion, Maggie (our boss cat) got into a fight with our neighbours cat.Thankfully while visiting Claire realised something wasn't right with her, saw she'd been bitten and took her to the vet and visited her every day while she recovered! I would highly recommend Claire to pet sit.

We used Claire's dog sitting service several times for our Malinois mix Shadow and our cat Ginger. Our dog is not easy to handle and needs a lot of exercise, attention and tasks during the day to keep her happy. Our cat on the other hand needs lots of cuddle time.With Claire we know that more than their physical needs will be satisfied. We also like the fact that our pets can stay in their own environment. They are always happy to see Claire, (our dog even gets excited at the mention of her name), which keeps us happy and relaxed on holiday. Claire is extremely compassionate, dependable and honest and cares for other people’s pets as she would for her own. That’s why we can highly recommend her services.Ralf

My regular dog-minder was unavailable to look after my girl when I was away for the weekend recently and I found Claire and Tails of Suburbia quite by chance and I was so glad I did. Claire put my mind at ease from the very beginning, sending me text updates and photos of Lily having a great time with Claire and Claire's own dog, Jazz. When I saw Lils in her all-time favourite position on a sofa, lying on her back without a care in the world, I knew that she felt comfortable and at-home. What more could you ask for from a dog-boarding service? Will be back when the next need arises. Could not recommend more highly. Thanks again Claire.

Claire is fantastic! She recently looked after our hamster Abby and goldfish Seed. We met Claire the day before we left for her to meet our pets and go over the details, she was really friendly and had experience of taking care of Syrian hamsters which completely put us at ease. my daughter was a little apprehensive about leaving her hamster at home, but after meeting Claire felt more comfortable, knowing Abby was going to be well looked after and loved while she was away, we even received updates and photos from Claire about how Abby & Seed were doing.Claire is looking after Abby & Seed again next week, and I'm sure it wont be the last time! Thanks again Claire.

Claire is a great animal lover. Every time we meet at the dog park she is loved by all the dogs around her. We recently got a new Labrador puppy called Hennie. Claire looked after him for a couple of days and we couldn't of been happier. Along with her dog Jazz, the two of them had a blast. It's such a relief to go away and know your dog is looked after and loved. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Claire to look after your furbaby too.Eloise

I would highly recommend Claire she is very reliable, has never let me down and always goes above and beyond to help.Claire has looked after Thor for about a year now and he absolutely loves her, he can not wait for his lunch times walks and sits at the window waiting to see her van pull up.Anyone looking for a dog walker look no further.

Claire has looked after my 2 Boston terriers and walked them on numerous occasions. My dogs are very high maintenance and Claire just has that special touch with them and they are always happy to see her.I would highly recommend Claire if you want someone to walk your dogs, she is absolutely amazing with all dogs big or small.
