Let me love your babies!
Pet care experience
I grew up in the country of East TN with a gaggle of dogs and cats around in addition to a slew of smaller animals; I love animals! I understand that loving a pet well requires a balance of spoiling and structure. I have trained multiple dogs between my own and my family, and do well with sticking to behavioral plans. I understand that each pet (and owner) has its own personality and set of needs which I'm prepared to meet!
Reviews
Courtney took great care of my pup while the family and I went out of town. She was very responsive and provided daily updates! Would recommend Courtney for all your puppo needs!
Super friendly, great care!
Sent cute videos of my pup - would be happy to have her back!
I have known Courtney D. for more than 20 years, and in that 20 years time I've seen her treat every animal she encountered with love, respect, and reverence. She understands that animals have an emotional intelligence and a craving to learn, play, and grow--and Courtney is the perfect caregiver for this job. She is responsible and will treat your dog with just as much joy and compassion as she would treat her own. I highly recommend Courtney for any animal caregiving needs.

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to mirror the routine your pet is accustomed to. If I am not able to provide that in my home, I will prefer to look after them in their own environment. I do have a large outdoor space at my home, but it is not fenced. I live in a pedestrian and pet-friendly neighborhood full of sidewalks and dog parks! If your dog likes to hike I will be happy to take them to the trails, if they enjoy socializing on a patio I will be happy to have them along. I'm here to meet the needs of your pet!
Information Courtney D. would like to know about your pet
The most important things for me to know are the following: - How does your dog do on a leash? - How does your dog do in public with other dogs? - Are their any medical complications or needs? Heartworms, medication, wounds healing, diet restrictions, special potty needs?
A typical day
I will always take your pet's usual routine and preferences into consideration. Needs to run wild at the dog park or go for a vigorous jog- we can do that! Couch potato- got it covered! Just wants to stroll around the neighborhood and chew on their favorite toy- that's all good! Likes to get out and socialize at the dog park or in town- let's go! I work long days during the week, but am fully available if you book an overnight with me on the weekend!

Courtney can watch in your home
Availability
I do work full-time days during the week (except for summer) but have evening availability for walking and check-ins. I can stay overnight during the week, but will be away during the work day. Please note that overnight house sitting does not mean I stay with your pets 24/7; however, I can accommodate this need for an additional charge!
