Highlights
Pet care experience
All welcome!
I live on the outskirts of Newcastle on a half acre property with a partially fenced in backyard (walkway between garage and fence is open). I have an 8 yr old female chocolate lab/border collie (70 lbs) who is calm and submissive. I love to take her on walks / hikes at conservation areas, going up to the cottage, or playing fetch in the backyard. I believe it's necessary to get her outside as much as possible. Also a great health benefit for me. She is spoiled with homemade treats and sleeping in bed with us. I have always had a pet in the house, whether it be a dog, cats, or a hamster.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Great communication, friendly, and excellent with my dog Stella
Macy can be a bit particular with people and dogs she meets, but she warmed up to Courtney, and her dog Charlie, immediately. Courtney is a great communicator and sent me photos updates as well. I would definitely book again!
Courtney was great from the moment I contacted her to meet. She invited me to her home to meet her and her dog Charlie so we could check things out. The meeting went well and felt comfortable right away. Bruno was excited and felt at home too. He spent a day with Courtney and she provided updates and pictures all day long. She took him for a long walk with Charlie and another dog. Bruno made himself at home and enjoyed his day with Courtney and Charlie. I will be bringing Bruno back for sure!
Courtney is great! Super helpful and flexible to fit my family schedule. My little boy Biscuit had a great time staying with Courtney, as well had so much fun playing with Charlie. Biscuit was so happy and tired when he got back home. Courtney also sent photos and updates throughout the day which made us feel that Biscuit was never away. Thank you Courtney and Charlie!!!
Courtney is amazing with my girl. She sends regular updates with pics and treats her as she were her own
Courtney has been awesome. Lots of pics of my baby and communication was fast and easy. Her home is very dog friendly with a great fenced in yard. My girl made herself at home very easily. Will be using Courtney again for sure.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I believe pet care is very important and geared towards the individual animal. I like to have discussions with the pet owner, prior to their appointment, to find out all pet care your animal needs.

Safety, trust & environment
Ensuring that you trust me, and are comfortable with the environment that you pet will be staying in is very important to me. I always request a meet and greet to make sure our pets get along and you are comfortable with your pet's stay.
Pets
A typical day
During my workday, your animal will have the run of the house and backyard. I try to at least get every dog out for one walk, either before or after I'm done work, depending on when their drop off and pick up time is.

- Before your pet comes and stays with me, I'd like to know all details regarding their health and any special accommodations that are required. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Do they like a certain treat? What commands are they trained to respond to? What is their daily schedule? How often do they eat? Is there medication that must be administered? What are their good/bad habits?
