Your Pet’s New Best Friend

Hi! I’m Courtney and I’m excited to meet you and your pet, provided we’re a good match. As a pet parent to one amazing dog and two very spoiled cats, I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is simple: I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re safe, loved, and cared for just like they would be at home. I’ve had animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, rabbits, parakeets, and chickens, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your dog loves long walks, adventures, or quiet snuggles, your cat prefers a calm companion or interactive play, or your pet has a routine that needs to be followed closely, I’m happy to meet them where they are and provide companionship while you’re away. My own dog is a senior and very particular about the dogs she enjoys being around. Because of that, I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining established routines. I’m also very attentive to animal body language and can recognize when a pet is feeling stressed, anxious, or uncomfortable. I’ve cared for pets with a variety of personalities and needs, including those who require a little extra patience, reassurance, or space. I pay close attention to the little details because I know they’re often what matter most. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax and enjoy your time away without wondering how your furry family member is doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and I truly care about the animals I look after. If I could rescue every animal, I absolutely would. In the meantime, I’d love the opportunity to care for yours.

Courtney was amazing!! Lots of pictures and updates throughout our time away. Which allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. We came home to bedding in the wash, packages on the counters, and happy dogs. She was able to calmly handle a stressful situation and ensure our dogs were kept safe. We appreciate all that she did for them. We will most definitely be using Courtney again.

Courtney has cared for dogs her entire life. She is a devoted pet owner now and has dog sat and walked dogs for her friends, neighbors, and family. She is incredibly responsible, caring, and is knowledgeable about animal health. I would recommend her highly to anyone needing support or help with their animal.

She is responsible and caring, she takes care of my dog Salacia and have bonded together as well. She will do an excellent job with any dog I'm sure of it.

Courtney is so wonderful with animals! She is caring, kind and compassionate and you really couldn’t find anyone better to care for your companions. She is also incredibly reliable. You won’t regret having her care for the furry members of your family!
