Pet care experience
I have had experience with dogs of all sizes throughout my entire life. I grew up with Great Danes and currently have my own GSP and two cats who I love spending all my free time with. I have dog sat for many family and friends, including weekend stays at my house, their house, and drop in check ins! I also have experience fostering for my local rescue. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I have experience with high energy dogs. I am not a professional dog trainer but place high value on dog training and the training with my own dog, so I am glad to pass along what I have learned along the way! If you are currently in the process of training, I have no problem keeping that up when spending time with your pup (ex. sit, stay, heel, place, sit at the door, crate training, loose leash walking, etc.). I am happy to do mid-day feedings and grooming!
Reviews
Cortney was amazing with my cats! Usually they shy away from strangers but they seemed to take to her quickly. She sent me pics and updates twice a day and even grabbed our mail and cleaned up! I’m so impressed and would 100% hire her for our next trip! Thanks Cortney!!!
Cortney was amazing. She took great care of our two cats and kept us well updated with pictures. We will definitely be calling on her again for our next trip!!
Above and beyond, thoughtful and detailed updates, amazing communication - we’ve requested Courtney a couple times now and will gladly reach out again next time.
Courtney went above and beyond taking care of our (very particular) cat, Nola. We would gladly welcome her into our home again and would not hesitate recommending her to anyone that appreciates detailed updates with photos, quick response times, and a high level of care and understanding for their pet’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment
Another value of mine is safety and security not only for your pets but for you as well! I will always keep a professional manner when in your home and do only what is needed to care for your pet. I will do my very best to keep you comfortable with me being in your home.
Information Cortney H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any behavior or medical concerns for your pets so I can keep them in mind and plan for them. I am comfortable administrating medication, feeding time, and treats!
A typical day
Like mentioned above, I place high value on training and consistency. I love engaging dogs on walks rather than just a walk down the street. We will play, practice commands/tricks and keep the engagement up so they are constantly on their toes. Mental and physical stimulation is important in keeping your dog happy & healthy! I bring lots of toys/balls with me to keep them engaged and having a great time. I keep my own pup very active so I know different trails/parks to expose your dogs to new areas and lots of fun! I also love to try out new places so if there is a park your dog enjoys please let me know.
