Vet Assistant and Pet CPR Certified
Pet care experience
I have ten years of professional experience caring for animals and I`ve also owned many animals throughout my life (cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, chinchilla, fish, frogs, cockatiels, hermit crabs, and turtles). My professional experience began when I started volunteering at my local humane society in high school and I have since worked at two veterinary clinics as a Kennel Technician. I am currently working as a Veterinary Assistant and am in school to become a Veterinary Technician. I also volunteer with a local wildlife rehab working with opossums! I recently spent four weeks in South Africa completing a Pre-Veterinary program where I worked with goats, sheep, pigs, cattle, tortoises, antelope, and other wildlife. Therefore, I have experience watching your non-dog/cat fur babies as well! I have experience injecting insulin, administering oral medication, injections (adequan etc.) and fluids, as well as providing specialized care for geriatric or special needs dogs. I can also provide post operative care for your pets. I am pet CPR certified as well and bring a pet first aid kit on all my walks! All animal friendly pets are welcome at my home with my tripod boxer, three cats, three guinea pigs, chinchilla, and husband (who is also a Rover petsitter). I`m very flexible with my schedule and will provide the best care for your babies while you`re away! I'll treat your kiddos like they are mine and will give specialized attention to each fur baby in my care. I love to give frequent updates and send lots of pictures. I also offer nail trims for cats and exotics (see pricing). I am looking forward to working with you and your furry, scaley, feathery, or bald kiddo or kiddos!
Reviews
Courtney was thoughtful and conscientious with our cats! We loved the pictures she provided for each visit and could see the cats were happy and well cared for. She reached out and asked questions to work with the needs of our diabetic cat as well as our elderly cat. I highly recommend her!
Courtney is amazing with our senior, blind dog and high energy adult cat. Her communication and updates put us at ease as it was our first time leaving our recently adopted cat alone. Highly recommend.
Courtney took such amazing care of Autumn while we were gone for the day!! It put my mind at ease know she was there to care for Autumn ?
Her visit summaries are hilarious and our cats seem to love her! Courtney followed all the written instructions, gave them open window sessions during the drop-ins, and managed my difficult tabby and loved her despite her many, many flaws. Will definitely ask her to visit again!!!

I will care for your baby like they are my own. I have veterinary experience so I am always keeping an eye out for any health concerns that may arise and carefully monitor food/water intake. I will give individual care to each animal that caters to them.
Information Courtney B. would like to know about your pet
Is your pet spayed/neutered? Is your pet on any medication or has a history of medical issues? Does your pet have any food allergies or other allergies? Is your pet ok around cats and caged animals (if boarding at my home)? Is your pet skittish, fearful, or aggressive? Does your pet need specialized care (extra brushing, extra potty breaks, pee pads, etc)? I'd love to work with you and your pet so answering these questions (if they apply) will allow me to give specialized care to your furbaby!
A typical day
My home is next to a park which has walking trails as well as a dog park. I will cater to the active pups as well as the lazy couch potato pups. Please let me know what activity your dog enjoys and I will happily accommodate.
