Safety, trust & environment

I am a life-long pet owner and pet lover, and as such, take pet safety super seriously. When walking dogs, I am cognizant of any other pets around and make sure that the pup in my care is safe and content with any engagement with other dogs (so long as the owner says they are ok with it!)

Information Courtney D. would like to know about your pet

I take your pet's safety and happiness extremely seriously and will seek out any information you deem important before watching or walking your pet. For example, how does your dog get along with other dogs? Do they prefer one longer walk or multiple mini ones? Do they have a typical walking schedule you'd like me to maintain?

A typical day

There's nothing in the world I love more than playing with animals. Whether it's fetch with your dog, running around the yard with a puppy (you'd be amazed how effective just running in circles is to tire out an active pup!), to getting a low key kitty up and about with a new toy, I am down to make sure your pet has a fun and active visit!

Life-long pet parent and pet sitter

Pet care experience

I grew up with chocolate labs and have been a life long pet lover because of it. Whether it's walking my friends' and neighbors' dogs, to feeding pets, to extended stays to keep pups company, I am flexible and happy to help however I can! I also have experience with diabetic pets; my childhood chocolate lab, Amber, was diabetic and required daily insulin shots that I administered and kept track of. I look forward to caring for your pets!

Courtney was a great cat sitter for us! She’s super responsive and took great care of our kitty while we were out of town for a few days.

Court is the best! Our dog *loved* every time she came over, either for a walk or a drop-in. Court's reliable, super friendly, organized, and obviously a serious dog lover. I'd recommend her to anyone.
