Must love dogs!
Pet care experience
Let me help you! My name is Courtney and my husband's name is Alex and we are both long time dog lovers! I was lucky enough to be raised around two Great Dane rescue pups growing up, as well as my grandfathers puppy, Snufalupagus (Snuffy, for short) when I was a kid. I would love to care for your furry family members like I would my own! In addition to the 40+ dogs we have watched on Rover, Alex also has a 12 year old pup at his parent's home named Boston who is in a lot of our family photos and basically a member of the family. I am flexible and willing to work with you to accommodate what you need done around your home or with your pets while you're away, so send us a message and we can't wait to work out the best plan for you and your peace of mind on yours (and your pet's) vacation! About this sitter: Being the young entreprenuer when I was 8 or so, I started a little business on my block watching and walking dogs, picking up newspapers and watering flowers with my free time. I understand the importance of making sure that you feel comfortable when you're away and want to do whatever I can to help! Why I love dog sitting: I have loved dogs since I was a little girl. I remember when my grandfather got our first golden retriever (Snuffy) when I was 3 or 4 and he was my best friend all throughout growing up as an only child. Meet my pets: Although we grew up with pets, we currently do not have any of our own -- allowing us more time with your furry family member! We do have a small personal yard and several dog parks within walking distance! My experience administering medication: Yes, and I intend on going through whatever action is necessary with the owners before their vacation.
Reviews
Another fabulous stay with Courtney and Alex filled with long walks, tons of cuddle time, and great memories. Pixel loooooooves staying with them and we feel safe leaving our precious fur baby here.
Alex and Courtney are amazing! They are both so friendly and were so accommodating with our travel schedule. They sent us regular updates and photos keeping us up to date on how Porter was doing. Porter seemed so at ease and happy during his stay and we'll definitely rebook in the future. Thanks again!!
Alex and Courtney are awesome! Pixel had such a wonderful stay with them. It was as if he went on a vacation himself. We will definitely be booking Pixel with them next time we go out of town. We got updates and pictures every single day. We also had to extend our pups stay and they were so flexible and understanding. Thank you Alex and Courtney!
Alex & Courtney are wonderful people and wonderful dog sitters! We left our dog with them for 5 days. our dog has separation anxiety issues and as a result, so do we! They took such good care of her that we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying at all! We came back to a happy and loved dog :)

Information Alex S. & Courtney C. would like to know about your pet
We would like to know what the owners tend to do and what your dog is accustomed to. I know that being away would be hard for owners and dogs alike so I would like to make it as comfortable for everyone as possible. Does scruffy normally eat around 4pm or does it mean something when he picks up a certain toy? Knowing these little things can only be helpful in my role as a sitter.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks We love going around our blocks and exploring the new dog parks! There are many open grassy areas in Fairmount! If your dog likes to go for runs, we are active and willing to run too! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever he/she is most comfortable! We love making our home feel like your pet never left his or her home. We are open to whatever you think is best. Extra house-sitting services We know that for some pets, just having another person around can ease the discomfort so I'm willing to do some extra tasks around the house just to be around if that's what you think is best. Anything can be worked out on a case by case basis, the way that we see it.
