Reliable, Caring, I LOVE animals!!
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Courtney! I'm absolutely crazy about animals, especially dogs. I grew up surrounded by guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, bunnies, and my two family dogs. I loved teaching them tricks, feeding them, and making sure they got their daily walks and even medications. As a kid, I was dead set on becoming a vet, but life had other plans for me. So now, I just take every chance I get to hang out with dogs. I used to even run an Instagram page (photos below) where I'd capture moments with all the dogs I looked after. I spent a few years volunteering at Family Dog Rescue in the Bay Area. It was such a rewarding experience being a part of their journey to finding forever homes. I'm the kind of person who loves staying organized, and I take that same approach when it comes to looking after dogs. You can count on me to be dependable and trustworthy. When I'm taking care of your pup, they'll get all the love and attention they'd get from their own family. I'm excited to meet your furry family member and create a safe, happy space for them to thrive! 🐾

Tiki is usually quite shy but Courtney was great with him and he had a lot of fun! I got lots of updates and felt confident that tiki was in good hands .He came back happy and well looked after, I would definitely ask Courtney to watch him again :)
Courtney took great care of my playful pup many times while I was at work!
Courtney was great! Spent the whole day with my puppy while I was at work! Would definitely recommend or hire again!
Courtney was amazing with Luna! She was very easy to set everything up with and helped us care for our puppy for a few more hours when we asked her to lengthen the stay. We would be happy to leave Luna with her anytime!

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, there are no other dogs. Additionally, I have access to a shared backyard that is completely dog-free, that I could use whenever needed. Living near the beach and parks means endless opportunities for walks. Rest assured, any outdoor excursions will be carefully supervised, and I'll take every precaution to keep them out of harm's way. Their well-being is of the utmost importance to me, and I'm committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for each and every pet in my care.
Home
Information Courtney C. would like to know about your pet
Prior to any dog walking or sitting I would love to know as much as I can about your pup(s). Any health considerations? Feeding instructions or allergies? What are the exercise requirements? Any commands to know and follow? Likes and dislikes? Leash/walking preferences? Reactivity or triggers? Any separation anxiety? House rules to abide by?
A typical day
I'm a big fan of walking and, like many, I developed a bit of an obsession with daily strolls during COVID. On any given day, I make it a goal to get at least 10k steps, and your pup will be right there with me. Living just five blocks from the beach provides a great opportunity for some refreshing coastal walks. We can also explore the parks around Santa Monica and Ocean Park, offering a change of scenery and plenty of new scents and sights for your furry friend to enjoy.

Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, thanks to the flexibility of working from home. I have the freedom to cater to dogs' needs at various points throughout the day. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood or an adventurous hike, I can easily adapt to their energy levels and preferences. Additionally, I'm fortunate to share my living space with a roommate who shares my deep love for dogs. That means they can definitely expect extra snuggles, playtime, and companionship throughout the day.
