Lover of dogs and babies <3
Pet care experience
I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, we always had dogs, we had Collies, Australian and German Shepherd’s, Black Labs and Pitbulls. My best friend always had smaller dogs whom I also adored and taken care of, Shitzus and Shiba Inus are so cute! When I was about five, we got our second Collie, I vividly remember my father taking me to the first vet appointment, I remember the vet telling me everything I had to do to properly care for our dog. Since then, I have not stopped caring for dogs. I have administered oral medicines as well as shots. I nurtured my baby BJ, a black lab pit mix, through chemotherapy and cancer. I have issued sedatives and drained cysts, groomed dogs. and watched family, friends, and neighbors dogs. I have done it all. On a more fun note, I have also trained dogs, I love playing, fetching and taking dogs on walks and runs, and of course, getting and receiving kisses and hugs and cuddles.
Reviews
Thank you for looking after Nora.
Caesar had a fun time. Courtney was a gracious host and took really good care of Caesar.
Courtney was extremely responsive and engaged. She sent multiple pictures each day updating how my dog was doing. She was accommodating to my dog's individual needs and delightful to talk to. I would definitely use Courtney again to care for my dog.
Our fur baby Duchess had a fabulous time with Courtney and her family. They spoiled her with lot of attention and love. Duchess is timid but she seemed perfectly happy in Courtney’s home. We got a lot of updates so it was very comforting to know that our baby enjoyed her stay. If we ever visit the area we will definitely book again and we highly recommend to everyone else to do the same thing.

I currently have a 3 year-old small female pitbull as well as a 19 month old daughter. We live in a three bedroom apartment, but we frequently take walks and go to dog park in the community. Because of my child and dog, your dog must be kid and dog friendly. I am home all day with my daughter and dog so your dog will join us in the fun!

Information Courtney A. would like to know about your pet
It is mandatory to let me know how your dog is with other dogs, as well as with children. My daughter safety is obviously very important. So we are not accepting dogs with aggression issues.
A typical day
We frequently take long walks in the neighborhood, and also frequent the complex’s dog park, your dog will get a good amount of exercise and fresh air. We also play fetch and tug-of-war. We are a big fan of puppy cuddles so if your dog is more the chill type, we can also accommodate.

I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. If I’m not home, my husband John is normally home with the baby. He loves ALL dogs as much as I do, I call him the dog whisperer.
