Dedicated petsitter!
Pet care experience
Around the age of 14, I began volunteering with the local animal welfare society, which is when I truly fell in love with providing care to animals. I acted as a "foster parent" at the time, taking in abandoned dogs (from newborns to adults) and providing temporary shelter in a positive and caring environment. Following that experience, I've always jumped at the opportunity to care for others' pets. I currently volunteer at the Centro Recupero Fauna Selvatica, so I also have experience caring for birds! I have attended various training courses offered by Fenzi Dog Sports Academy (Management for Reactive Dogs and Pattern Games) and Amy Cook (Play Way) to learn more about animal behavior and psychology. I only employ R+ and force-free methods with all of the animals I care for. I am comfortable caring for animals who display aggression, as long as their humans are willing to provide necessary equipment to keep them safe (muzzles, leashes, etc.). Feel free to contact me if you'd like to know more!
Reviews
Courtney took great care of my dog and sent the cutest photos of him for me while I was at work!
Courtney is the best! She’s been taking care of my kitties when I’m out of town for about six months now and every time goes smoothly. And she gets the best pictures of them!
I trust Courtney completely with my furbabies. She's communicative and reliable, and I appreciate her flexibility with scheduling.
Courtney did a great job taking care of my pit mix puppy over the weekend! My dog can be picky about who he likes and she was great with him. She wrote a nice update and sent me pictures from each visit. When I came home everything was in order. I would recommend Courtney to anyone and would definitely book her again! Thank you, Courtney!

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure to do a head count before I leave a visit. I have experience with escape artists, garbage snackers, and dogs with separation anxiety. I know what to look out for and how to keep animals safe.
Information Courtney C. would like to know about your pet
I like to get a sense of the owner's schedule for feeding, walking, and toileting so the dog can feel as comfortable as possible when staying with me. I also like to know how the dog acts in public, particularly around unfamiliar people and animals.
A typical day
I love to take dogs on walks and play with them, whatever their play style. If your dog prefers being alone and/or at home, I'll gladly accommodate those needs, as well. I'm full of ideas for enrichment both inside and outside the house!
