Since I work from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. This setup allows me to dedicate ample, consistent time to both your beloved fur-child and my very own, ensuring they receive constant attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. My flexible schedule means I can adapt to your pet's specific needs, whether it's midday walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just some extra cuddle time. They'll never feel alone or neglected, as I'm always present to provide the care and supervision they deserve. This consistent presence is a huge advantage, allowing for a stress-free and happy experience for your pet while they're with me.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and respectful environment for your pet. When caring for pets in my home, they'll enjoy a dedicated space with their own bed, toys, and supplies, ensuring they feel welcomed and secure. In your home, I diligently follow all instructions, maintaining your routines and ensuring I leave your space tidy and respected. To provide the best possible care, I always gather detailed information beforehand about your pet's specific behaviors, health conditions (like allergies or medical needs), triggers (such as loud noises), favorite activities, and feeding schedules. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to make them feel safe, happy, and truly at home.

Information Courtney D. would like to know about your pet
To ensure your pet receives the safest, happiest, and most personalized care possible, it's crucial for me to have a comprehensive understanding of their needs before our time together. Key information includes their health conditions (allergies, medications, existing medical issues), any specific behavioral quirks or triggers (fear of loud noises, stranger-shyness, interactions with other animals), and their precise daily routine (feeding schedule, exercise needs, potty breaks, sleep habits). Knowing their favorite activities, preferred treats, and any house rules is also vital. The more detailed insight you provide into your pet's unique personality and requirements, the better I can anticipate their needs, minimize stress, and make them feel completely at home and secure.
A typical day
I ensure every pet enjoys a fun, personalized experience, tailored to their unique needs and energy. For dogs, this means tail-wagging walks, engaging play sessions like fetch, and mental enrichment games. Cats will love interactive toy play and puzzle challenges. All pets receive plenty of cuddles and relaxation time, along with one-on-one attention focused entirely on their happiness. My goal is to make their time with me feel like a mini-vacation, full of positive experiences and genuine affection.

Pet care experience
My lifelong passion for animals, coupled with extensive hands on experience, truly sets me apart. I've been fortunate to grow up alongside a diverse menagerie of beloved companions. This isn't just casual acquaintance; I've had the privilege of raising them from infancy through their cherished senior years. This unique background has given me an unparalleled understanding of the distinct needs and nuanced care required at every stage of an animal's life. I offer specialized care that caters to a wide range of needs: Puppy Training: My experience with young animals allows me to confidently handle puppy training, focusing on positive reinforcement and consistent routines to help them develop into well-behaved companions. Senior Care: I deeply understand the specific requirements of elderly pets, including administering medications, managing mobility challenges, and providing the gentle, patient attention they deserve in their golden years. My background ensures I can offer comfort and dignity during their later stages of life. Diverse Animal Experience: Beyond typical pets, my comfort and familiarity with a variety of animals, meaning I can adapt my care to your unique pet family. I'm a genuine animal lover who believes pets are so much more than just animals they're cherished family members who enrich our lives with unconditional love. It's a profound connection built on trust and mutual affection, and I am dedicated to reciprocating that love with the highest standard of care, ensuring your beloved companion feels safe, happy, and truly cherished while you're away.
Reviews

Courtney is amazing! She cares for your pets as if they are her own. Very responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable. My pup loves her and Picasso.

She was great with my dog honestly. Super attentive, always sending pictures and updates throughout the day which I really appreciated. My dog came home happy and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. Definitely would bring him back again.

Courtney was an absolute lifesaver this winter holiday, stepping in at the last minute. She is a true animal whisperer who managed to win over Wada, which is no small feat considering she usually refuses to bond with anyone. We were so relieved to find someone so patient, calm, and gifted!! We cannot recommend her highly enough!!! Wada has a new Pittsburgh friend!

Courtney went above and beyond. She's got lots of experience and took great care of Ginger. Ginger found a great friend in Picasso and absolutely didn't wanna come back home after staying for 4 days with Courtney and Picasso! Couldn't recommend her more!
