About: I have always had pets, specifically indoor dogs and cats. I also have 2 years experience as a kennel tech at a boarding/grooming facility where I worked with dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles, rabbits and other small mammals. I am comfortable with any size dog and most temperaments. Each dog deserves care and attention, I am well aware that certain breeds have more difficult personality traits (and for good reason, too!) so just let me know what your dog needs and I will accommodate. Regarding dog walks: I am not currently booking for dog walks due to a torn ligament in my ankle. I am still capable of drop ins, boarding, etc. as I am healing, but walks are on hiatus for a few weeks! I am stable/sturdy - just in a boot. I work full time but am available after 5pm on weekdays. I do have a flexible schedule so if you need something, I may be able to accommodate if I can work from home! I have open availability on the weekends. As someone with kennel tech experience, I am very comfortable crating dogs and taking them for walks, playing as much as they want, and adjusting to their specific needs. I also have experience administering medication, both oral and injections.

Such a kind and professional sitter! Sent great pictures and updates throughout her time with my pets, made it easy and comfortable to be away from them for the first time. Overall went above and beyond for my boys and I am so thankful! Would definitely recommend and would absolutely book with her again ☺️

Courtney has dropped in on our cat a few times now and each time she has been fantastic! She provides lots of pictures and notes to reassure us of how he is doing. She also follows our directions on how to spoil our baby. Courtney responds quickly, shows up when she says she will and does what you ask her to. And, sometimes she even teaches your cat new tricks or leaves him toys 😊
