Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Courtney. I have at minimum 18 years experience with dogs/cats. I grew up with a professional dog groomer (my wonderful mother) and have been learning grooming with her on and off since I was 15. I still do bath/brush because I love being with the animals. In grooming, I've had lots of interactions with a lot of different breeds and their own characteristics they have. Each dog/cat is different and needs someone to be able to have the love and patience for them. I've cared for, in my home and outside my home, a lot of dogs and cats(even a snake or two!). My family and I are enjoying putting all our love in others dogs/cats so they have a home away from home(or can stay home)and not have to be crated and left alone hours on end. I've cared for so many different breeds and I love them all. I'd like to expand more to eventually open an actual doggy day care on a plot of land! It's my dream! As the business my mother owns is right up the road from my home, I'm also able to offer extra services like a bath, dry, brush, ear cleaning and nail trims. I believe our pets are our family and such wonderful companions helping make our lives more joyful and they deserve the love back they give us. Our pets might not be there our whole lives but to them, we are their whole life.
Reviews
Courtney was great with our bulldog! She sent lots of pictures and took great care of our girl.
Courtney was very communicative and lovely. My animals were so whooped
I can’t say enough about how wonderful Courtney (and her family) is with an older dog. From the moment we meet at our “meet and greet,” I knew my old lady would be well cared for and loved when leaving her with Courtney. She messaged and sent pics of how well she was doing and kept me in the loop if anything came up. I will definitely book Courtney for any future needs. Thank you!
Courtney is always FANTASTIC with our dogs. She goes above and beyond every time and we never want to use anyone else. Added bonus is the incredible pictures we get while we’re gone. Thanks, Courtney!

When boarding in my home, I like to try to make the doggie or kitties stay, thought of a home away from home. They get to play with toys, play with my dog & sometimes other doggie friends. They also get lots of attention and love from myself and my kids. Walks around the neighborhood or cuddles around the house. When I’m housesitting I am fully there for the doggies/kitties. I’m able to keep their routines up that your pet is pretty use to. This helps ease nerves a lot for them. I can do walks, play with them and love on them.

Information Courtney H. would like to know about your pet
I dont have any specific breed preferences as I've worked with many breeds grooming over the years. I ask that I'm made aware of any sickness they may have and any meds or special instructions they may need. I also like to know if they are nervous around other dogs, if they have ever bit anyone or another animal and if they do better on their own.
A typical day
I often take doggies on walks in my neighborhood. We try to steer clear of dog parks to be safe. They get lots of playtime in and outside the home. Whatever the doggie/kitty is comfortable with I will try to continue to do for them.

Dog sitting/housesitting is my full time job. I do not have any other jobs. I am mom, so there will be kids in my home to love on animals too.
