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.
