Experienced Pet Handler!
Pet care experience
Hello! I am Cortlynne and I love pets of all shapes and sizes! I have a substantial amount of experience from my time at a pet daycare where I worked with many different dogs on a regular basis. In my free-time I volunteer at my favorite local dog and cat rescue where I love to exercise and photograph the pets. I am knowledgable about medication dispersal, dog/cat handling, and dog/cat body language. All my life I have had dogs who ranged from sizes as small as a king charles spaniel, to as large as a great dane! Beyond dogs, I have experience with farm animals, rabbits, cats, rodents, fish, and so much more. Animals are my passion, and I take their care very seriously. I have two fur-babies of my own who I have invested hours in training and exercising to ensure they are as healthy and happy as possible. My three-year-old golden retriever, Ryder, has traveled with me across the country on vacations and was sort of an unofficial campus mascot at my college. My other girl, Kida, is a rough collie puppy who helps me practice my dog grooming skills every day! In other words, my experience and knowledge makes me well-equipped to handle various pet-related situations, and I am compassionate towards ALL types of dogs!
Reviews
Cortlynne is an excellent caretaker of not only her dog but the other dogs she has worked with. She worked at a doggie daycare for over 2 years and always raved about how much she loved the dogs there and how fulfilling it is to take care of such amazing animals. She has expansive knowledge about dogs and other pets and is also willing to put in the effort to learn more and more about them each day. She is a dedicated mother to her own dog who is incredibly well trained and taken care of. She’s always willing to go above and beyond to care for and respect the pets she interacts with. She is one of the most kind and empathetic people I have had the pleasure of meeting and she treats animals in the same regard as she does her friends or family: with kindness and an open heart.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take safety very seriously on walks, thus I will bring along clean water for your pup for those hot summer days. I keep all dogs well-secured, and I am willing to advocate for any pups who are not too fond of strangers or other animals. If permitted by you AND your pup, I have an exceptionally friendly golden retriever girl who can attend the walking sessions. I am very patient for those pullers or "I like to sniff everything" pups! While working at a doggy daycare and volunteering at an animal rescue, I have gathered a plethora of experience in handling animals with specific personality requirements. I understand dog body language, and I know how to respect an animal's boundaries. Do not be afraid to message me about any concerns or questions!
Information Cortlynne F. would like to know about your pet
For my own safety, please let me know if your pup is unsure of strangers. It would also be important to know if they have any sort of special needs, or any of their fears or triggers on walks. For example, if they do not like other dogs, it would be best for me to know this so I can avoid other dogs on walks. Is the dog food aggressive? Are they a flight risk? Any information is good to know! I want to ensure our booking is as safe and productive as possible!
A typical day
On walks, I like to ensure the dog is receiving mental stimulation as well as physical exercise to fulfill their needs. We can do slow sniff walks, or we can work on leash manners! I have a collection of puzzle feeders for meal time and I love to provide structured play-time with the animals! I can even take photos of the fur-babies for your own peace of mind.

I am currently available for hire whenever I am needed! I am open to house sitting bookings, though I would like to build a relationship with the pet and owner prior to scheduling. Feel free to contact me for discussion!
