Pet care experience

Your best friend's second best frie

Hi! My name is Coreen, but I go by Cory, and my family has always had pets of one kind or another for my entire life. There has always been at least one dog, explains why I'm a "dog person", but there have also been cats, fish, snakes, birds, and even a lizard or two. I currently have 2 little dogs, Tinkerbell and Miss Pickles, and my two humans (my husband and son). My son often accompanies me when I do walks or visits, he is 20, high functioning autistic, and LOVES dogs. He can look at your dog and tell you what breed (or mix of breeds) he or she is, what that breed was originally intended for, any health issues the breed is known for...he's basically a walking dog encyclopedia! He has also recently completed an animal care course, including certification in animal CPR, through the state of Maryland. We would love to meet you and get to know you and your four legged family members!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I usually do not care for animals in my home, due to the fact that I do not currently have the set up necessary to do so.

Coreen’s son, Ben, house sat for us. He was very prompt in his arrival and departure. The care for the animals seemed great but the communication was sometimes slower or more sparse than we expected or have received before. The house was left in great shape and our dog and two cats seemed happy when we returned.

While I appreciate Coreen being able to house sit, it was odd that her son was the one house sitting for my request. Dishes were left out, crumbs on the floor, food was eaten from our pantry/refrigerator/freezer (some was replaced - after the fact of being eaten).

Very attentive and considerate. Coreen is such a life-saver. I greatly appreciate her taking care of my little Bun Bun.

Our pups LOVE when Coreen comes to our house. She is very communicative - keeping us updated on the happenings but also allowing us time to be away without a constant worry. Usually our pups are very needy when we get home because they’ve missed us and out on affection. This is not the case when we use Coreen. They’re so chill and usually look at us like “why did you have to come back?”

Very happy to have my dogs let out when we had an all day wedding. Also appreciated, she took the time to come over before hand to meet the dogs and see the layout of the house fencing.

I have no preferences! I have taken care of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I have experience with big dogs and small dogs, and everything in between, bunnies, guinea pigs, and cats!
