Flexible, responsible pet lover!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am Courteney, and I would love to be able to help you at any time you need. Although I have never professionally worked with pets, I have been surrounded with animals my whole life. I have grown up with Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, and a Maltese, so I am accepting of any dog breed! My sister owns two cats, so I am experienced in caring after cats as well. Family friends have come to me for help with walking, feeding, and caring for their pets overnight. I jump at every opportunity offered to me, and I make sure to work my schedule around helping them. If your pets require any medications to be administered while in my care, I have experience with giving insulin injections and finding creative ways of feeding my dogs their oral medicine. I'm a college student who commutes, so I have a lot of availability due to living off campus. If you ever need to adjust times or move anything around, I am always willing to work with you and find what works! I hope to be hearing from you!

Courteney is a huge pet lover! She has cared for my pets as well as pets belonging to my friends and family. Courteney has a warm compassionate heart while being very smart and responsible. I have 2 large breed dogs which Courteney walks, feeds, grooms, has administered medications when needed and provides much love and companionship. I would highly recommend Courteney to care for your pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I can crate pets if needed, and I make sure they have a loving environment surrounded by toys and activities to keep them company! When walking dogs, I make sure they are fully secure.

Information Courteney S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dogs have any aggressive tendencies or dislikes, so I know what to prepare for with their temperament. I have cared for pets with a wide range of personalities, so I am open to any dog.

A typical day

While caring for your dogs, I will find games that they enjoy playing. The fan favorites are usually fetch or tug-of-war, but I'll see what interests each one individually and make sure they have the best time with me!

Availability

Pet care fits into my weekly routine around school. I am a junior in college, and I commute which allows me more flexibility to care for pets in my surrounding neighborhoods. I have dogs of my own, so pet care would be worked around caring for them as well.
