About Courtney B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety & Trust: *I require an in person meet and greet prior to visit for all new clients* The safety of your home, pet(s), and myself are my top priority and because of this I always like to schedule a meet and greet beforehand. Important to make sure your pet is comfortable with me and entry into your home is discussed/shown in person. What You Get From Visits: Pets receive full attention during my visits and I am extremely detail oriented while I am there taking care of them. Good communication with clients, many picture updates and a detailed note are always guaranteed when your pet is in my care. Dogs receiving walks get a full, long 30 minute walk from me, can be shorter 15-20 minute walk if requested, but I cherish walk time with pups! Drop-in visits with dogs requiring leashes will not receive longer than a 10 minute walk around to use the bathroom. Please schedule a walk visit if that is what you are looking for.
Information Courtney B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about behavioral issues or triggers for your pet ahead of time so I am able to provide the care they need without disrupting their space or creating a stressful environment for me or your pet. Is your dog good with other dogs, other people or men specifically when they are outside? Will your dog ever be aggressive or afraid/nervous with me during my visit? How can I make them feel the most comfortable in these situations when I am with them? Also important to discuss allergies or health issues your pet may be dealing with while I am watching them.
A typical day

Pet care experience
* If you do not see a time or date free on my calendar please reach out to me directly would love to make something work if I am available especially for my existing clients! * Ever since I was born I was raised and grew up with a dog in the house. This has made me early on have a giant compassion for animals that I will have for the rest of my life. I have had up to most 3 dogs at the same time and have had 7 dogs total (family + my own). As young as 12 my parents would leave me in charge of the family dogs and I would care for them by letting them out, walking them, feeding them, and playing with them when no one else could. I was a Biology/Ecology major in college and went through university studying animal health and other zoology classes. My internship took place at a Wildlife Rehabilitation clinic in Massachusetts which strengthened my love for animals and nature. I also spent afternoons and weekends volunteering at the SPCA for dogs and cats in West Chester PA while going through my college career. It was not long after college that I decided to get a dog of my own. Oakley is a 2 year old spaniel mix who I have rescued and is the best boy. I rescued Oakley completely on my own as a 2 month old puppy and raised/trained him single handily while working a full time job at 24. I would love to give your fur baby the same love and affection I give my own dog!
