Courtney is amazing with animals! She grew up with cats for her entire life. She also now has a family dog that she helps care for. The family dog was adopted after a life of abuse and has some behavioral issues, which has enabled Courtney to gain experience in dealing with these issues. She is extremely gentle with all animals and is very trustworthy. She has watched my cats multiple times and I trust her immensely with them. Every animal always grows to love Courtney, no matter how timid they are at first. I definitely would recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a committed and loving caretaker for their animals.
