I love caring for pups and cats!

Pet care experience

I am an avid animal lover and caregiver of four legged friends (and some others too!) ! I treat all animals like I would my own family pets which means with lots of love and care. To me, watching and caring for pets is more than just a way of making money, but is something I take a lot of joy from! I actually started pet care as a way to make a little extra money for my own pet's medical needs and have continued since. I’ve used pet sitting services for my pup and cats and know the importance of quality care and updates.

Courtney was great. Both my dog and cat clearly loves her and she was super communicative.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow your instructions as completely as can as I know how unique each pet is and I want to make their routine as close to normal as I can. I have experience with many types of pets and care. I will spend time walking/playing with/feeding/cleaning up after pets as needed based on as close to your pets routine as I can. I don't really mind messes and always keep pet parents updated on how the pet is doing and any health or safety concerns that might come up. I am always happy to bring in mail, packages, water plants, and put garbage out/pull it back in.

Information Courtney D. would like to know about your pet

I like to know any specifics about your pet that will keep them safe, cared for, and loved during your time away. I can customize my visit to your pup or cats needs if we talk about it ahead of time! It can be helpful to know parking information, how I will gain entry to see your pet, any medication procedures, emergency contact, and vet information (with leash or carrier location). For dogs on walks, I only walk with non-retractable leashes. If your dog does not have a non-retractable leash, I am ok with using my own or recommending some options. I prefer harnesses for pups, but this is not required.

A typical day

I like to spend time snuggling, playing, caring for, and cleaning up after your pets. For dogs, I can included walks or visits to a backyard. I generally try to befriend any pet I’m caring for and do so on their own timeline and by listening to their cues. I love when a shy or skittish pet comes around to me. And if they don't, that is okay too! All pets have different needs. For cats, I make sure to tend to the litter box that keep the kitties happy and healthy! ?‍⬛?

The way I handle bookings: I create my schedule based on a balance of request and location, therefore, I appreciate and prioritize bookings that have some flexibility in time. I do this because it allows me to spend less time on the road and more time with pets! If this is something that would be helpful for you, please let me know in the request as that will help me decide if it’s something that I can do and will let you know if I am right for your pet or not! I am always upfront and honest about what I can and can't do and try to make sure we both feel good and ready to go for your pets care.
