About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog parent with hands-on experience in both everyday care and behavior support. I’ve supervised a therapy dog program and completed training in dog behavior and obedience. I know the importance of consistency, and will follow your lead. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or gentle guidance, I bring a calm, compassionate approach rooted in both experience and a deep love for dogs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I am a mom of two and with the exception of occassional appointments and errands I’m home 7 days a week. Making it easy for me to adapt to the needs of a visiting furry friend. I have a fence in yard and and older dog friend to keep yours company. Although he won’t be able to keep up with your pup running, he does enjoy hanging out on the couch with new friends while he watches TV. As I said before it's important to me to remain consistent with your expectations for your dog. This includes safety.

“We contracted with Courtney to walk our dog while we were on vacation. She was prompt, walked the length we requested, provided pictures, and was very friendly and good with our dog. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life. I currently have an 11-year-old dog and help care for my daughter’s cat, who’s been with us for two years. Before that, we had two beloved cats for over a decade. I also raised chickens for many years and grew up with a family dog. I’m reliable, gentle, and truly enjoy being around animals—they’ve always been a part of my home. Animals are part of my everyday life. I work full-time from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day and into the evening. Whether your pet needs care during the week or on weekends, I can make it work. I enjoy spending time with animals and caring for them fits easily into my routine—this is an activity / service that I genuinely value. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I respect their personalities—whether they need extra attention or space to warm up—and I keep things clean, calm, and low-stress. I also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you're away.

About: I have had 8 years of experience dog sitting, hosting, walking and staying at others homes for dog sitting. I love dogs and as I think cats are cute, I am allergic and unfortunately cannot watch them. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I love boys or girls! I enjoy going on car rides and checking out new areas for the pups to take a walk. I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have a pittie/lab mix and his name is Bentley. He loves to cuddle, play with other dogs, and is sweet as can be! I currently work full time hybrid. I work from home tuesdays and Friday’s and off on weekends. These are the best days for me to have a dog with me since I’m home. I work a 8-4 job. I care for them by spending time, making sure they are fed, walked, and loved on. I have my dog who enjoys chilling or playing with the dogs depending on what the other dog prefers. Pet care fits with my routine as I am hybrid for work and only live 10 mins away from my job. It is easy for me to run home over lunch to check on the dog I’m watching or if close by take out. I make time to spend with the dog I am watching and that they feel comfortable in my home. While dogs are in my home, I treat them like my own. They are able to sleep with me, be on furniture, etc. I take them for walks to get exercise. With parent permission I make ice cream treats (blueberries & Greek yogurt frozen together) and give them to the dog. I make sure they feel comfortable, are fed and have plenty of water. If a parent would like me to administer meds or give a bath, I am happy to do so!

Awesome pet sitter/dog walker! Reliable and friendly. Our 4 month old Westie pup is still potty training and can’t be left in the crate too long. Soneil (Sowmya’s husband) came and let our puppy out and stayed and played with her for 20 minutes plus (and our 7 year old Westie too). Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it!
