Animal loving student!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm currently a student pursuing a degree in Psychology and I love to spend my free time taking care of animals! I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, chickens, goats, aquatic animals, and more! I spent a lot of time caring for animals on a farm when I was younger and have experience caring for elderly animals with special health needs like arthritis and hip dysplasia. I had a samoyed back home so I am very experienced with larger dogs who need long walks, and I also have experience with brushing and grooming double coats. My dog needed quite a lot of extra care (bathroom breaks every half hour became my specialty) so pets that require a little extra attention are perfect for me!

Courtney is such a sweetheart and gave Penelope tons of extra love during her drop-in. Our little girl, unfortunately, had some out of character behavior during the visit too, but Courtney handled it all with compassion and grace. She was a great communicator, very prompt and just a delight to have around. We are very appreciative paw-rents. Thank you, Courtney, for loving on our winder pup. ??

Courtney was very good at communicating with us. Our boy was very challenging and she was good about finding solutions to the challenges he presented. She was responsible and took good care of our home.

Courtney took great care of our Pearl! She sent a bunch of pictures, had excellent communication, and I’d definitely use her again!

Information Courtney V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any health or behavioral needs that will need to be attended to during our visit. I would also love to know a little bit about your pet's temperament, their routine, and the things that bring them joy (treats, a favorite toy, head scratches, etc.).

A typical day

I love tailoring activities to each pet's personality. Whether it's a game of fetch, a leisurely stroll, or a visit to their favorite park, I make sure they have a paw-sitively good time!
