About

Essington-based Dog Trainer, Walker and Pet Sitter

Hi, I'm Claire, welcome to Flossy’s Friends! I am a dedicated dog trainer, walker and sitter based in Essington and the surrounding areas. I have a pet first aid certificate, a pet psychology diploma, am DBS checked and have full public liability insurance. I have trained with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) to ensure that I bring all of the up-to-date techniques of force free training with me. I myself have an elderly Shih Tzu called Flossy, but I am passionate about every four-legged companion that comes my way. My love for animals drives me to provide not just care, but also joy and companionship to your pets while you are away. I offer a personalised service to meet the specific needs of each animal, ensuring they receive the best possible experience. Whether it’s a brisk walk in the park, some affection in their own home or a leisurely stroll around the neighbourhood, I make it my mission to keep them happy and healthy. Whatever struggles your dog has, whether it be pulling on the lead, poor recall or barking at other dogs while out on a walk, we can work through these together to ensure your pup is given the very best chance of living a carefree and stress free life with you.

At Flossy’s Friends, I understand that every dog has its own personality and preferences. This is why I take the time to get to know your furry friend before we set out on our adventures together. My aim is to create a stress-free environment for both you and your pet. With years of experience and a genuine love for animals, I can assure you that your dog will be in safe hands. From energetic terriers to laid-back labs, I embrace each dog’s unique character and provide them with individual attention they deserve.

Testimonials

Proudly Rated 5 Stars

Claire looked after Romeo for me while I was away for an evening, this consisted of 2 30-minute visits in the evening and the following morning. She was very reliable, making sure to fully understand Romeo before she took on the job. She sent photos through for peace of mind and made sure he had everything he needed to be comfortable while I was away. Will definitely be booking again.

Highly recommend Claire and her services. She’s super reliable. Great at communication and always puts me at ease when leaving Hatty in her care. You can tell she genuinely cares and really knows her stuff. She takes the time to understand Hatty's individual needs which means a lot. So glad I found her!

I love Claire! Can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly reliable, caring and genuinely loves animals.
