Pet care experience
Hello! I am one of the lucky individuals who has lived my entire life around pets in my home and in the homes of those around us. I started officially dog sitting when I was 18 years old (how has it already been 18 years since then!?) I have loads of experience with animals of all kinds. I spent time as a surgical assistant at an emergency vet. I have volunteered at shelters and adoption organizations. My vet teases that I am the Olathe animal rescue for animals who need special care. I have rescued many and I always find a way to adapt to the needs of my babies. I have experience with Seniors, special dietary restrictions, medication administration including insulin injections and blood sugar testing. I have developed many of my own in home practices for my own animals. With a big boy (112lb Labrador) who has digestive issues and severe allergies, I have developed a meal plan that’s easily digestible and allows his digestive tract the peace it needs to calm down and reset, as well as many different options for maintaining allergy relief, both homeopathic and medicinal as needed. I believe dogs are far too good for us humans, so we need to treat them as the blessings they truly are. There is nothing more genuine than a dogs love.
Reviews
I rarely write reviews, however Courtney certainly deserves one. She came by before our vacation to meet the pups and to acquaint herself with the pups schedule. We could tell she would be a perfect fit. She was absolutely wonderful with our three dogs. While we were gone, she took them on walks, sent photos and played endless games of catch with them. As a pet owner, when you can leave the state and know your pups will be loved and cared for, it is priceless. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were in such capable, loving hands. I would have given her a hundred stars if I was able.
Cortney was amazing! She took amazing care of my 2 large puppers with an older cat and she sent me daily updates and left me a note with an overview of her time with in my home. The updates gave me a great sense of ease and allowed me to enjoy my time. Thank you again!
I once watched her become best friends with a wallaby not five seconds into meeting her. Same thing with a wild mouse. Every animal she has ever met is her bestie for life and I triple dog dare you to find a single creature that disagrees.
I’ve never known an animal Cortney didn’t fall in love with. She’s quick to shower them with attention and snuggles, while still respecting their boundaries. She pays attention and gets to know each animal’s personality, so she can treat them accordingly, whether they are scared, or shy, or outgoing. She’s friendly, trustworthy, and easy to work with. She’ll go out of her way to make sure both you and your pet are happy and getting what you need. In a nutshell, Cortney will love and treat your pets like they’re her own.

Safety, trust & environment
I will be mindful of caring for your pet as close to the way you do it as possible. If walks are preferred for your dogs, we will spend the days walking on the same schedule you would. If running around the back yard playing fetch or catch is your dog’s favorite game, we will wear ourselves out with all the fetch and shenanigans we can take. For cat lovers, if your cat is one who would simply like to come to the person when pets are wanted, I will respect this, but if your baby wants to spend the day chasing laser pointers and playing with feather dangles, we can do that too! If you’re someone who has both cats and dogs, let me know what they love and what they are not big fans of and I will adapt to accommodate anything needed for your special fur babies! My goal will always be to maintain routine and allow your pets the most stress free experience possible. Being away from their human is hard, they should at least know what they can expect throughout their day.
Information Cortney R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any special accommodations needed for your fur babies. Whether your animal needs a strict eating regime, a high energy daily routine or even medication administration or care multiple times a day. I would like to have all information about your pet up front, this gives me a chance to ask any additional questions or schedule a time to come see you demonstrate what’s needed for your pet. I want to offer the best care possible, the more I know, the better care I can provide.
A typical day
The daily activities for your pet will depend highly on their preferences. Some animals want to spend the day doing high energy exercise, while others prefer a low stimulation, quiet day. I want your pet to feel relaxed and as though there is no upheaval in their daily routine.
Services
Cortney can watch in your home
Availability
I work remotely 100% of the time, so I am able to do my job from anywhere in the world. I don’t mind travelling more of a distance for house sitting or spending a couple days away from home, however, for drop ins, dog walking and quicker or multiple times per day services, I will keep my radius set to 10 miles. This is better for myself, but it also guarantees each of your babies will get the consistency they deserve! On weekdays, I can spend the afternoon with your animals, or I can pop in multiple times throughout the day for exercise, feeding and snuggles. I can also be available to stay overnight during the week if the plan is made in advance. On weekends, again, with advanced planning I can stay in your home with your pets, or I can pop in as needed or spend several hours at a time with your pets, depending on your preference.
